98' B18c1 Into 6th Gen Civic Ex

[jagtrading]

I have a quick tech question. It's my first swap and I' m dropping a 98 usdm b18c1 into my 98 honda civic ex/ 5-speed.

I got the motor/tranny/shift linkage/axels/and p72 ecu, however I didn't get a wiring harness that goes to the ecu. does this matter or could I use the one from the car, if so would i need to do any serious wiring? and if any of you have done this swap before I would love some pointers/tips/hints

thanks

jeff

do u still have a harness on the b18? if not, use your d16y8 motor harness and use the p72 ecu and if it is an obd2 ecu then it should be plug and play. Not to sure though.

Your stock harness will work but you may need to add the aib.

still new to this try and bear with me. the engine harness your refering to the harness that goes from the engine to the ecu right?

he meant IAB, its the butterflies in the intake manifold, also refered to as secondaries

you will need to use your factory wiring harness and then hard wire the knock sensor as well as the aib's. or you could get a skunk2 intake manifold so that you can eliminate the aibs. the best way to do what you are trying to do is.... skunk2 intake manfold, skunk2 obd1 conversion harness and a reprogrammed p28 ecu. please feel free to contact me at my shop if you need more help

my car is a 98 ex and my motor is a 98 b18c1 both are obd2...why would i want a obd1 ecu ?

in short:
obd1 OWNZ obd2.
