Default B18b EG Swap Wiring question

I am doing the obd2 b18b swap in my 1992 civic hatchback and I was wondering if it is necessary to wire in the knock sensor. I am running the obd2 engine harness. I am running an obd1 pr4 ecu and I am having trouble finding an ecu pinout. I need to run the IAB and are there any other wires that I need to run. Please help.

Nope... OBD-1 LS ECUs do not look for a knock sensor. If you need a wiring diagram, PM me or email me.

A B18B is an LS engine which doesn't have a knock sensor or IAB. Are you looking at the wiring diagram for a B18C1? If so, that's your problem. The B18B with OBDI PR4 ECU would be completely plug and play. The only additional wiring would be converting to a 4 wire O2 if your car isn't setup for one (VX, CX).

The LS doesn't have a KS or IAB... yea, you're prolly looking at a gsr diagram/tech sheet.

No you don't have to wire up a knock sensor because neither the ECU nor motor have one.

You may have to unwrap some loom to extend some wires but all of the necessary plugs will plug into the motor and components as long as you keep everything OBDI, which the 92 LS is. The only wiring modification that will be necessary is to convert to a 4 wire 02 sensor.
