Gsr swap

[ls94civic]

I get whatever I want!! It's my brothers car he had for a week and some asshole pulled out in front of him and they totaled the car even though it wasn't that bad so my brother bought it back for 900 and I bought the ecu,engine,tranny,linkage,mounts for a 1000 and any thing else related

My only worry is that its OBD2. I have read plenty of threads that state the harness plugs right up.....and that there is one plug that doesn't get used.....? My swaps have always been the same OBD so this is foreign to me. If the threads are right....its easier and cheaper

I forgot something else!!! You also need to wire up (with those Donor Pins I wrote about earlier) the IAB's (intake butterflies) to the correct location on the ECU plug from your Civic. So you will need to wire the Knock Sensor and IAB's through the firewall and to the plug.

But the rest should bolt right up. As long as you got the EX throttle cable.....you are fine. Use all the mounts (even though you can use some of the Civic mounts) for simplicity. Use the shift linkage, axles and such. I used bigger coolant hoses that fit the B series motor.

Yeah the obd2 harness will plug right in, we used the obd2 harness on my friends 92 hatch with a 99 gsr motor..

 

[hondafreak513]

I do believe the plugs will match, i will double check tomorrow.. Or if you want all you have to do is park the two cars together and look at them and match them up...

Dang computer is lagging the last post wasn't there when I typed this one...

 

[ls94civic]

ls is in there now and that's the gsr

 

[ls94civic]

So I should use the gsr harness with a p72 obd1???? Or the Ls harness with the p72 obd1 ???

 

[CAFROG]

gsr will be easier

From the looks of your pictures I see two seperate distributor plugs meaning OBD1. If its one plug then its OBDII.

So how come you can't take the ECU out of the GSR aswell (if I missed it sorry...now 6 pages of stuff I don't wanna read lol)

 

[hondafreak513]

The ecu won't work, different plugs and why would you want to make a obd1 into a obd2????

Yea I know they're different. I thought no one knew if the GSR was OBD1 or OBD2. But since its a '96 it must be OBD2.

 

[hondafreak513]

Yeah 96 is when obd2 came out..

 

[ls94civic]

It's a obd2 gsr

 

[ls94civic]

Obd1 harness and p72 obd1??? Is that gonna be the easiest ???

 

[hondafreak513]

Yeah just put you obd1 injectors in or swap the plugs, and the same for the dizzy except you can only swap the plugs on the dizzy..

 

[ls94civic]

What's my other option with the gsr harness ???

 

[ls94civic]

What would I have to change with that???

 

[hondafreak513]

As stated before the GSR harness should plug right into your car..

 

[ls94civic]

Would I need a jumper for the p72????

 

[hondafreak513]

No as long as you get a obd1 p72 you will be fine..

 

[ls94civic]

That's what I thought but with all the other talk from the others it just confused me
