Civic 91 Dx With A B16 Sir-ii

[bossman032]

I know my Civic 91 DX hatch is OBD-0.
Requires Mounts Which I have.

My civic is cable and the Engine I have is SIR II is came with Cable Tranny 170HP!
I have the complete engine swap ready with the mounts ready to drop.
I have to wait for my friend to take out his car from the garage to do the swap.

In the mean time I would like to get some advise from yo..

I know SIR II is OBD-1.
I don't really care about the OBD series wiring..


Here are some questions..

I know my friends homeboi who can do the wiring for 600 bucks including the DROP he said wiring will take 3 days. He said he will need to strip the car inside for the proper wiring job. He has done many civics including DX's like mine hopefully.

What are some problems will I face because I have a DX?
I am in sacramento, ca 95823..

Any advise will be very helpful...
also is 600 koo price for a Drop and Wiring JOB?

help me out guys

Pics of my engine take a look please.


Tell me what you think....

THanks

i think $600 from a friend is a rip off. most shops charge 500 complete. lol

 

[posol]

but anyway-

you need to convert to mpfi and a bunch of wiring. this should help a little bit.

now you have to take it a step further and go obd1

dude i am about to do this exact swap in My 89 DX, and i just did this exact swap in a 90DX...
Wiring is not that hard once you figure it out, takes half an hour and then another half an hour to an hour to finish it. I have a really good online guide if you want it PM me and i will give you the links. 600 sounds kinda steep for the whole thing. You live in Sac??? Talk to the guys at Motor Sports Dynamics they know a lot and have been rather helpful to me. And if i were you i would deffinately convert my car to OBD1 instead of converting the motor to OBD0.
Good Luck and PM or IM me if you have any questons...

Cool,that would suck.

i see no real logical reason there is a downfall to just making the motor non obd just besides you'll have to ditch your ecu and get a pr3 or pw0

there's an excellent mpfi tutorial on crxpower.net in the how to section


i mean either way it's your car but if it was me this is what i'd do
..... pick up a pr3 and convert the motor to obd0

OBD0 TO OBD1

Hello,

If I get the OBD0 to OBD1 Harness Will it just plug up in my DX??

Or DO I still need to modify the harness under the dash???
I have the 4 vtec wires already their!!!

 

[xj0hnx]

It should if that is what they made it for.How do you have the vtec wires,did you run them already?

 

[MaaseyRacer]

that harness you have wires that you may have to extend to run to the VTEC equipment. If i were you i would get that one that you saw on ebay that one already had the extended wire and everything, it looked good and the price was good too.
