hey all i searched but im getting mixed reviews. im going to be purchasing a 95 civic ex. it has a 99 Si b16a2 (usdm) motor/tranny but the guy claims to be running the STOCK (d16) harness and ecu.
now if im not mistaken, wouldnt this be a problem?
the stock (d16) ecu is the p28 obd1 and the new engine requires a p2t obd2 to run properly?
so.. if the b16a2 swap was installed and running a stock p28/harness, wouldnt this affect things.. like NO VTEC?
my main concern is the car's engine running and driving LIKE AN Si SHOULD!
so, what are my options? is it possible to get a obd1 to obd2 conversion harness which would plug into a p2t ecu (and make features such as vtec work properly)? if so, would this negatively affect anything (dash harness, etc)?
or should i stick with the setup now (p28 + stock harness) and just have to rewire certain things? im confused as to whether or not everything would be connected when swapping the sohc for the DOHC with the sohc harness! like i said before, maybe no vtec when the conversion was done on the stock harness?
all i want is for the 95 civic ex to run a b16a2 with no problems!
THAT INCLUDES PASSING EMMISSIONS!! it is USDM.
i know some of you guys know more than others, but ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!
