As some of you may know i hydrolocked my gsr and im in the process of swapping it for a JDM GSR . here are some pictures of the damages and the swapping process , theres a lot more pics to come but the new engine isnt here yet so right know im waiting for someone to help me take the old engine out soi can clean the engine bay and all the parts i'll be using on the new engine.

Some pieces of the block that fell to the ground when i took the oil pan out



this is where they fell out of ( very sad )



The big hole in the block



now this is really sad



and this what my engine bay looks like as of now

 

cool. Did you figure out if the new motor is obd2 or obd1?

 

damn that sucks. sucks you cant compressor water unlike gas/mist. whens the new motor come in

 

i have no idea i still need to talk to hmotors and ask them a few questions. but im pretty sure its obd2 and mine is obd1 but since it comes with the harness and ecu its fine , if the new engine is obd1 i'll just use the harness thats in the car and my p28

 

your civic is a 96 or above so its suppose to be obd2. Thats why i asked. I heard from people on here that if i got a 96- up civic i would need obd 2 so i could pass emissions. but who knows.

 

i dont need to pass emissions here so ,my civic is a 00 but my gsr is a 96 with a p28 ecu. so im pretty sure i think its obd1 , is there anyway i can be sure what type of obd i have?

 

Your car is OBD2 and has a OBD2 engine harness, you must be using and OBD2 harness as the OBD1/integra harnesses are two pieces. So it's some modified Civic harness. And you probably have a OBD2-OBD1 jumper harness at the ECU. If your engine is OBD1 then there are probably some extra engine harness connectors just hanging out in your engine bay.

 

yeah there are some connectors that arent really pluged. so what do i do? do i order it obd1 or obd2? the guys at h motors told since its already set up for obd1 i should go with that

 

MXS so you can still pass emissions with a 96-00 shell and a obd1 motor? because i heard that is illegal

 

well heres a pic of my ECU and i think this is a obd2 conversion harness to obd1 , or am i wrong
