I have a 96 hatch and the guy before me seems to have converted it to OBDI, It looks like I have an OLD obdI b16 but I have a question about what kind of parts I can get now. Could I run an OBDII Head or an OBDII Block with the car setup to run OBDI. Im just a little unsure about the whole wiring and if I am gonna have to get an OBDI block or Can I get an OBDII Block

 

Sure, you can run an obd2(96-up) block or head with your set-up.

There is no real physical difference between the obd1 and obd2 motors.
The only real difference is the components on the motors, such as: injectors, distributor, alternator, etc.

If you swap over to an obd2 block or head, just swap your obd1 components onto it and you will be fine.

 

nicely put by member "Slopoke"

 

So even though the car is setup to be run as OBDI I should have no problem running OBDII Head or Block. I think the one in there right now is an OBDI engine. But I guess your saying it doesn't matter


Another question, i guess besides them converting to run OBDI I guess to run that older motor what other bennefit is there to running OBDI over II
