I'm considering doing a California legal USDM B17A or B18C motor swap but my 91 Integra is non-OBD. How difficult of a job is it to change non-OBD wiring to OBD1? What's involved? Let me hear from those that have done it.

 

You will need OBD1 injectors, OBD1 distributor, OBD1 ecu and an OBd0 to OBD1 conversion harness, and a few other minor things. I have that harness forsale. With it comes detailed instructions on what you need and what to do.

Let me know-Jason

I have the cross over harness i'll sell it to you if you want... brand new from palce racing for 100+ship

 

Advan: Sell your junk place racing harness elsewhere. Those harnesses are junk. Do they come with instructions now? Creep off. He wants someone that has done it!

Hmm.. how legal is a conversion harness? Will it really convert my car to OBD1 or is it just a band-aid fix? Looking at pics of a OBD1 ECU it looks like there are a lot more wires involved. In the end, I would want a car that I can take to the Smog Ref and get a CA BAR sticker.

Scroll through those pics and you will find a conversion harness. It plugs into your existing harness where your ecu would normally go and then you would plug the OBD1 ecu into the other end. The harness is pretty clean, and I dont think that they look at the ecu; do they? If they dont look at the ecu......or even if they do, you can semi hide this harness. They wont be able to tell the difference. Your car will make more power, but more noticably will be how smooth it feels. The curve is very nice on an OBD1 car. Email me if you need more info or pics.

hey blown hatch I did MY OWN SWAP!!! just cause you're scared doesn't mean you have to talk ****. you wanna talk **** pm me

 

Dude, I havent read one thing in your posts that actually helped people out. This guy here wanted to know what is involved in a OBD0-OBD1 conversion. Not about a swap...cause I cant count how many I have done now. So calm down. If you are not going to answer this guy.....

look it's fine by me that you don't like place racing, I don't either. You don't know me and I don't know you. If you seriously think that I don't know any thing then that's your problem. I know that some people don't have the time, skill, patientce whatever to really put into their swaps cause of work, school, family.... that's the only reason I would offer a suggestion on a harness. I would rather do something myself than screw around with someone else's crap that I have to rebuild anyway. I did rebuild the harness so it's basically a harness that I built but it was originally from Place. Sorry to the original poster, as this misunderstanding impeded on your question. This seems to happen quite a bit on these boards...
