OK HERES THE DEALEO, I WANT TO SWAP A 95 JDM B18C5 OBD 1 INTO MY 89 CRX, I WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS DO I HAVE TO RUN A 98+ USDM ECU TO MATCH THE MOTOR AND CONVERT TO OBD 2 OR WOULD ANY USDM ECU WITH OBD 1 TO MATCH THE ENGINE WORK? LIKE A P28?

 

BUMP

 

chiped p28 i hear works well

 

YEAH I HEARD THAT TOO BUT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IF IT WOULD BE SMOG LEGAL HERE IN CALI? ANYONE IN CALI KNOW THIS?

 

no motor swap is smog legal in cali.

 

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

 

Take the friggin caps lock off.

 

read the sent to smog ref thread. wondering what i'm gonna do when i have to get a smog check.

 

The JDM B18c with PR3 head is the same as what we call the B18c5. Well, actually, Id rather opt for the JDM R motor with a higher comp. ratio.

Anyways, those motors come with the JDM P73 ecu. The ones I got recently purchased had JDM ecu's that didnt even look for the VTEC Oil Pressure (Code 22). They were OBD2 ecu's.

Personally, I run either a chipped P28 or better yet a P28 with Hondata.

 

P28 with Hondata. Thats what I will be using on mine. Will probably just start with chipped p28 until I can afford the Hondata system though.

can a obd0 pr3 ecu run the type R motor?

yes use a obd0 b16a distributor. you have to put the b16a wiring harness on the R. switching plugs when necessary.
