if its a first gen b16 then you need an obd 0 harness if its a 2nd gen you need a obd1 harness. You will also need to run a knock sensor wire if your ecu isn't chipped and also the vtec wire, from your shock tower.


do a search the answers are out there

I would say that he should go with a OBD1 harness with a first gen. Why? he will run a OBD1 ECU (i hope so) and all the plugs will be there. OBD1 and OBD0 have a few things different from each other (ECT, dizzy plugs, resistor box). I would only run a OBD0 harness in a OBD0 car.

Yes, all PR3 (all OBD) are the same (within reason now).

If you have a LS swap already. Just use the B16 as a long block. Yes, I would use the intake AND TB (your LS TB will not work). For ECU, I would run a P30 or a chipped p28. IF you reuse your LS dizzy, you will have to trim the ears (the pieces where the bolts go through). It will will with only one bolt holding it in. Use your LS injectors and rail, it will bolt on, no mods. Your LS alt will work with the B16 bracket and your LS (same). Use your LS intermediate shaft and axles. You will have to reuse your LS thermostat housing because OBD0 ECT are on the block and OBD1/2 are on the thermostat housing. If you do not have the axles, 94+ integra will work.

Now, I have some questions for you. What harness you using? VX or other? (EX or SI harness will be almost plug and play, only knock sensor to D3) Why not LS/vtec?

Last but not least, you have a VX and a 92, it is wiring for Vtec already.


oh, <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ISawUL00k &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> headers,</TD></TR></TABLE>

is that new race headers for b-series I have been hearing about?

92 vx with 96 b18b harness..port matched b16 manifold , ported & polished gsr TB ,DC4-1 header. pig fuel pump,vafc,gsr trany ACT 2600 lbspp /w 6puck,stage 3 port & polish, valves springs, retainers, valves, ITR motion assembly, x2 micro on crank,balanced & blued...ITR pistons...ITR water/oil pump MSD 6AL ,Mugen Chip i dunno what ECU

it was a runnig ls/vtec but i dont like the R/S and no oil squirters.i wanna REv that B.plus i have to run b16 in autocross event.

so an obd1 94-96 integ harness distributer is compatible the 1st Gen b16 head and bottomend
<U></U>
this car was built for drag but i want to be able to interchange the b16 and b18

i got it all i just need to figure out what is interchangeable

wish i got it a dyno before i tore it down


thanks

http://www.importautosalvage.com quoted me awhile back (4-6 mths) on a b18c1 engine harness for $250 shipped. hope that gives you a rough idea.
