am planning to swap a b18c5 in to my 94 eg si it currently has a d16z6 engine in it! i plan on using my p28 ecu and having it chipped! i want to know if i can use my original injector wires and original loom! i have heard this swap in my car is pretty much plug and play! Because im have it chipped do i need to use my distributor or the b18c5 distributor? any help from the honda gods will be really appreciated! Thanx in advance

 

yea its pritty easy and stright forward, use the search in the top left and type in eg b18c1 and you get a welth of info "at your fingertips"

 

use your civic engine harness and injectors
chip the p28 and you aredone.

Right on. That's exactly what you wanna do, I have done the same thing in my car, just use the obd-2 injector plugs (the obd-1 harness plugs won't fit those injectors) and then you have to modify the distributor plug too, not too big of a deal, but it won't line up correctly, you will find out soon enough!

I did the same swap, '95 ex d16z6 to b18c5, what a difference...

Go ahead and try using the obd1 injector plugs, and the obd1 plug for the distributor on the new motor. I bet you twenty bucks they don't work. Go check a '92-95 ex or si, check out what the injector clips look like. then try to use them on obd2 injectors, it doesn't work my friend. Just take the injector plugs off the obd2 harness, and transfer them to the obd1 harness.

 

when you say i need to modify the distributor? is there anymore you could tell me about that? only reason is because im in the uk and parts like these are hard to come by!!! so if i can get it right the first time it will be good!

 

Its probably easiest for you to just go get a 92-95 B16A distributor

 

Whats the reason for using a different distibutor then?

 

the distributor plug changed in 96. since you will be using your original civic harness
in order to keep things simple, its easier to just get the older distributor

 

yep, sgT is right again. The best way is to get the obd1 B16 distributor, then you would be ready to go. But to modify the plug, basically, the wire colors are mainly the same, I'll have to go look at mine again, but put the obd2 and obd1 plugs next to each other and you'll find that the obd1 has an extra pin if I remember right. I'll look at everything again tonight and post... Unless someone else remembers how to do this off the top of their head (props to you if you can)

 

The difference between 92-95 and 96-01 is that the 92-95 are two plugs and
the 96-01 have the same pins but the two plugs were combined into one.

 

Thanks for all the help! it is really useful info! Do i need to use anything else like drive shafts or gear selector's? and also my civic is jdm! would it be easier for me to use a jdm (b18c5)? so the loom match's up? can anyone recommend a good chip to use in my p28?
