Well, with the search button not functioning, and the fact that I am looking for a new motor than what I had planned I need some help.
I am looking into getting a D16y7 from a '00 Civic EX, my car is a '93 Civic CX Hatch. What all do I need to do to convert it from an OBD2 system to an OBD1? Pretty much, what do I need to do to get the motor in the car and running?

Thanks, Scott

 

can you use your stock wiring harness and just swap over the injectors and distributor from the obd1 motor to the obd2 motor someone please help im in the dark on next weekends project

 

just use your obd1 ecu, distributor and injectors

 

D16Y7 is the DX/CX/LX motor from 96-00. The 96-00 EX is the D16Y8 so hopefullly you knew that and noone is trying to rip you off.

Reuse your OBDI distributor, injectors, engine harness and ECU. There will be a little wiring if you are going from a nonVTEC engine to a VTEC engine. This would also require the use of a P28 OBDI VTEC ECU. Other than that, it will be a very easy swap.

 

This really opens it up, now I dont have to look for older engines. I would only ahve to get the parts from the older engine and that probably isnt to hard right?
