Honda Civic Swap ( D16Y7 to B18C GSR)
 

Hello everyone! I am currently under taking on a civic swap, let me fill you guys in. I drive a 2000 Honda Civic, because I live in Canada its called the Honda Civic SE, but its pretty much A DX. It has the d16y7.. 1.6L sohc NON vtec. The Engine Iam putting in is the B18c GSR out of a 96 model. Now the company who I bought the engine from said All I needed for the swap was the following :
99-00 SiR rear transmission bracket

99-00 SiR Timing belt side post mount

94-01 GSR lower and upper rad hoses

94-01 GSR throttle cable

OBD2B to OBD2A conversion harness.
I bought all of that and Yes they do come in handy. Now the Problem is that I read somewhere because my Civic is a Non Vtec version, I need the wiring harness From a Civic with a Vtec so the Harness from the GSR will work. Can anyone please msg me back and give me some points or tips. Thank you everybody for your time!

Carlos, i have the exact same car and question about having to use a harness from a vtec civic, just wondering if you had found out if your obd2b worked with the gsr? anybody at all know, i just cant find the answer to this question!

I kept my old harness but I used the ECU that came with the car. I also bought a conversion harness. OBD2B to OBD2A conversion harness

Found it on ebay for cheap too! make sure you check ur alternator fuse I had that problem too. let me know how it goes!

Sorry I meant used the ECU that came with the engine!

so i found out; to save my self adding in new wires, like the knock sensor, vtec silanoid..... i have to buy a 99-00 si/ex wiring harness, which is a d16y8!! then the obd2b to obd2a jumper and ill be golden besides
having to extend a few of the sensor wires and swap them with the sensors from the jdm. i found a site with a awsome material list and plug swap list some dude put together while doing the swap! hope this helps anyone!! the f@ckin time a fella puts in on research is crazy,

anyone else with some helpful hints or tips, problems you've came across, it would be greatly appreciated!!, my swap is going to be a jdm 98+ b18c type r swap into a 00 civic se
