Ok, I"m very frustrated about my swap. I have a '99 civic hatch. I bought a '94 B18C. I also have the B18C ECU that goes with it. AND I have a full GSR main wiring harness ( the interior one that goes through the firewall and connects to the engine harness and to the ECU). Now everything is done. Engine is IN, everythings connected, blah blah blah.... but I CANNOT figure out how to get this thing wired up. All I want to know is how I can make the motor ( B18C) run correctly, using the gsr main harness and using that ecu ( P72).
I don't want to get a skunk 2 manifold.
I don't have money to get a 99- 00 Si wiring harness and add wires to it.
I dont' want to have to use an ecu jumper ( obd 2 to obd 1)
Is there ANY way to do this????
What NEEDS to be connected to make the car start... ?? ignition, ecu, motor, battery, etc .....?
I'm friggin lost....

and everyone keeps giving my links to that jspectuning, and honda hybrid perf.com and stuff like that , but jspectunning show's how to swap a obd 2 motor into a obd 2 car... and hybid perf show 's not enough..

someone...........
please....
help................

well you can use your old harness from your old motor and add wires. sell the ecu and get an obd2 one. all the stuff you didnt want to do has to be done

 

thats what happens when you try to equip an OBD2 car with an OBD1 engine without the necessary parts to go with it.

 

booyah.
keep is simple stupid. (KISS) the motto to live by

 

i would do the same too. you also need to ground the wires.

 

I can't use my stock DX harness...... it's not even CLOSE to what i need. There is one plug on one side... and then like 7+ on the other side.. and the plugs that go to the ecu aren't the same either..... they dont even plug into the ecu... Two do, and then the other one plugs into a different harness, and then back into the ecu...
