hi ppl , im planning a D16Z6 swap into my EK obd2a chassis , but i have a problem , my OBD1 Ecu is dead , and i have a Y8 one...can you tell me if Z6 runs with a OBD2a ECu from the Y8?? im using all the original engine harness from my Y8 with the adjustments to fit in Z6.. and if i can use it , i will save some money not buying a OBd1 ecu and convertion harness also.....thx ppl

I'm pretty sure it will run but I wouldn't suggest it. Just buy yourself a p28 and have it tuned. Garunteed you will love the results.
 
Uh-huh-huh...no dumbass! [/Butt-Head]

If you want to use an OBDII ECU you'll have to do an OBDII conversion, which is significantly more expensive than just buying another P28 for $80-120.

lol ....

But will my D16Z6 run? here in Portugal an OBD1 ecu is something rare , and when it apears, is alot than 80-100 $ .. the Z6 and Y8 are preety similar or equal engines insnt? my idea is mantain the Y8 engine harness from my old blown engine , modify only the terminals to fit the Z6 ones...i know that isnt so that simple , but is one way to do it , and doing that i dont need to do any modifications to chassis harness...please give me ideas ..i dont have in mind any modifications , is a simple swap only...engine out engine in ..and thats all..

thx ppl
 
fresh news: if you want to get well done ..buy a OBD1 and conversion harness....lol

A P28 come from heaven and i bought it , now im seeking for convertion harness , im looking to a ebay ones...

BTW: Z6 and Y8 have diferent ecu maps ....
 
If you can't find what you're looking for on eBay, which I know you will, try Rywire.com. They have wires coming out of their ears and will be very helpful too. Best of luck.
