HELP! GSR ECU Hardwiring Obd2 shell obd1 engine

[GsR_CiViC]

Here's the deal gentlemen! I've been reading these forums for a little over 3 years and all info was very helpful.
I Havn't been able to locate this info on the forums so maybe you guys can help.

-I have a 1996 Gsr that was stolen last year and completely stripped (lowering shocks and all).
-I Just bought an obd1 b18c1, obd1 ECU (p72)

-Heres the thing: The ecu connectors were cut (they stole them too).... I bought the obd1 connectors to plug right up to the ecu, So now i have to hardwire them in.
a few of the wires match (completely) but more than half are questionable¿

-The b18c1 did not come with an engine harness or dizzy, but i have an obd2 LS harness in storage.

Can i use this harness being that my shock tower plugs should match and swap injector plugs and add VTEC?

- what other modifications would be needed?

-which DiZ-NiZzY should i use?

I'm trying to get everything ready to do this (new head - gasket, water pump, timing, etc...) and i want to tackle the electrical first.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!

That is exactly what i needed. i'm gettng started tomorrow!
-I'm hoping i can trace the wires coming from under the dash to thier respected locations (the ones that are exact same color)?
-any suggestions for them?

THANKS

 

[GsR_CiViC]

Okay,...
Seems that my obd1 plug wires are different colors than you say above....

 

[pooptugboat]

So your repinning up the obd1 ecu plugs with an obd2a wireharness? Let me figure out how to ask this, the wires your "matching these up with" Were they in the car originally or did you get it with the new engine? Why not just buy a new wire harness?

 

[YBLEGAL]

Pooptugboat, because buying a new harness costs money DIY feels better. lol

Think you could go down the list and name off what's not matching up? Or what has matched up so far? You know what you can always do if your unsure is whip out the multimeter and check for continuity between the connector pin in the engine bay and the end of the wire by the ecu.

Just let me know what color wires or what systems' wires are left to be connected, or have already been connected.

 

[GsR_CiViC]

Got a deal on the engine with 120K (did not come with harness or dizzy).. So here's the deal
I work two jobs, So i get to the shop every now and then to Do it so right now im cleaning the interior out and just put new head gasket on the motor, water, pump etc.. (Walls look good!) already compression tested. I sill have to put the cams back in etc Because i want to clean the outside of it to "like new" as well as the block.
I have both helms manuals for obd1 and obd2 teggys AS well as a haynes for 94-00

YBLEGAL - I'm on my way out to work now, i have a list of what started to not match up, it became so many that i went to sleep without finishing with much upsetment <--if thats a word

ill be back a lil later and ill throw it up!.. i know on a plug the injectors were the same

 

[YBLEGAL]

Right on. You should show us some pics of your efforts!

So Far....

HERES WHAT I GOT...SO FAR ANYWAY.... ON MY OBD1 PLUGS.....

A-1,2,3,4 are same...
a5 - Baby bLue
a6 - Orange/black stripe
a7 - green/yellow stripe
a8 - same as a/7 supposedly but NOT THERE
a9 - Green/white striZzZipE
a10 - EmpTiZzZy (empty)
a11 - green/orange stripe
a12 - yellow/green stripe
a13 - green/orange stripe
a14 - Empty
a15 - black with red stripe

THis is all i got to before the sense of worthlesness kicked in. I then took the plugs back to the shop. I wanted to get my notes and diagrams all together and Correct before i whip out that multimeter^_^ I'm still even unsure of what the pins REALLY are but thats what i have the manuals for.. im trying to get the colors to their respective locations on the plug so i know what they are.

*I dd notice while doing this that one of the pins that were empty I think was for VTEC ... Could this mean i have the obd1 NON VTEC PLUGS??

I'll post some pics as soon as i find out how to send them from my phone to email (my phone doesn't have the underscore_)

 

[GsR_CiViC]

Correction!

A4 - I'm pretty sure is EMPTY... i will confirm tomorrow night SORRY!
a5-- and on is accurate..

 

[GsR_CiViC]

*update*
I just took the dashboard and ac/heater boxes out to expose all wires... i did not have this color chart above with me due to neglect. But heres the thing...
-This was my first attempt to even see what i working with. I started off by Plugging in my engine harness to my shock towers. I then took a battery and grounded it to my chassis, after that I wired up a pin to the positive (on the batt).. I had a buddy of mine ground the multimeter, and hold the hot side on one of the wires.. then i went to the engine bay with my "super plug invention" and probed every plug in the harness to try and get a signal...thing is the multimeter is sensitive and i was getting some haywire numbers on multiple wires???

So then I Connected my some of my obd1 plug(wires) to my obd2 chassis wires (the colors that matched up) But there are twins of some colors.. and i dont even know if this is right (even if the wires match)...
I plan to try it again after the plugs are on so I can at least have a platform to work with... I'm just having problems with the internet.. and getting ahold of a printer!!!!

Any suggestions for the best way to do this... Im still getting thise pics ready btw

**one of the wires actually turned my windsheild wipers on** iTs aLivE!

heres the obd1chart to cross reference with the obd2 one above!

This is by direct request from YBLEGAL!
Im getting another shot tomorrow and the next so please give me your 2 cents!!!
p.s Still workin on those pix

 

[GsR_CiViC]

BumP sorry the blue colors mean they are double checked and are obd1PLUG to obd2 Wire Color

The black ones are correct i believe

 

[GsR_CiViC]

UPDATE!! adviCE?

The last week I have spent wiring my obd1 plugs to my obd2 gsr accordingly with both the above manuals and a helm's.

I then took my obd2 LS engine harness.. plugged it up to the shock towers on both sides and connected the black thick wire to the underhood relay fuse box.. And hooked up a battery.. finally got the windows up and played with my winsheild wipers a little..

Then I took my ignition to acc and i heard a few clicks.. BUT NO FUEL. curious to see what would happen, I turned the igniton switch to the start positon and MY MAIN RELAY STARTED WHINING.

went back to the ecu and diagrams and noticed that there are two Green/blue wires coming from under the dash one of which is fuel pump relay the other, sensor ground... I disconnected the two in an attempt to switch them but accidently let one of them touch the ecu bracket (grounded it) and the whining from the relay started.. but then fuel started dumping out of my fuel filter!? at the same time?

I've never noticed this whine in any hondas I've had and im wondering if its normal?

Do i have to have everything connected in order for my fuel pump to engage?

ALSO.. there are four connectors on my pass. side gsr shock tower.. Only three of which connect to the LS... which is the fourth... could that be my knock sensor? it's a two wire plug

I WILL HAVE PIX UP BY MONDAY!

I would like some advice but even if i get none i will still post my progress and hopefully some one will need it.. thanks

 

[monotech]

I would just recommend you connect the factory ecu plugs back into place and color match them for the most part and then use a ecu jumper or even make one. I have a bunch of Obd-2a/b ecu plugs that I use for my conversions so if you need a set pm me, Peace!

 

[GsR_CiViC]

pM SENT!

 

[GsR_CiViC]

570 Views and no oNe Has had a "main relay whining" problem!?

I'm completely stumped and I have A.S.E techs telling me it's normal but I know It's NOT...
any ideas at all are appreciated...
