i have 92 Civic Si with a D16z6 & i am going to swap it for a JDM B18C with a Hydro LSD tranny. I am wondering if that motor will just plug right into the stock D16 Harness or do i need to wire it with the B18C harness???? & should i get the OBD1 ecu or OBD2 ecu??

thanks
 
get a obd1 if you can 94-95 modle then all you will have to run is one wire i think
 
ok cool, if i can't get the 94-95 model, can i get a jumper for a OBD2 to OBD1??? what will i have to wire up??
 
your car is already a obd1 car os if you get a obd1 motor theres no need for a jumper harness.
 
ok, if i have to get the OBD2 ecu what do i have to do??:mellow:
 
ok thank for the help i will keep you uptodate on how the swap is coming along, i am going to be doing it in june & i also getting a stage 2 clutch & Skunk2 intake pro series & DC headers, can't wait to get it done i will post pics of whn i am done. once again thanks
 
dont get dc header. theyre garbage. get a jdm itr 4-1 or a nice tri-y
 
dc sprots headers are fine ive always ran them on any motor ive had and there smog legal so i disagree with that. I would not do obd2 keepit all obd1 and the only wire you will have to run is knock sensor i dont know exactly what to pin it to but i know its posted somewhere in the swap section ive seen it.
 
dont forget the butterfli box. i think they have those
 
ok im not that good so i have to ask whats the butterfli box.??:confused: Ive not heard of that ever used.
 
lol its like a h22a the gsr has secondary butterflies in the intake manifold that opens after it gets up into the right rpm range, and on the h22a theres a vaccum box that controls it

alright got it THANKS. Im not a master yet. LOL
 
like i said im not sure if it does or not i know the h22a does and they both have secondaries in them so i was going by that
 
true, I was just giving my two cents, i'm dealing with JDM engine swap issues myself right now, and I ran into this question a week or so ago :)
 
All I had to do on my 94jdm B18C was wire the knock sensor, vtec and vtec oilpressure. To easy. 8 hrs total for the install. That included getting the rusted a$$ bolts off and the d@mn bitch pin out. Where you located? Im sure for a little beer and food someone would help you out..
