hey whats going on i recently came across a 97 type r swap, which is obd2 and right now i have a 90 si that i want to throw it in, i have already swapped the motor once in this car, so i have a obdo to obd1 harness in there. so my first question is can the motor be wired down to obd1, or do i just need to suck it up and by the obdo to obd2 harness. also is there any tips about swapping this motor in, that i should know that might be different from any other motor. any comments big or little would be appreciated thanks people.

 

You can run OBD1 no problem, you are just going to need an OBD1 B-Series manual computer, and an obd2a-obd1 jumper harness (since the new engine is from a 96-98.) If it was from a 99-00 you would need an obd2b-obd1 jumper harness.

 

thanks man, i guess does it make a difference what i run obd1 or 2, i mean is there any perks to one and not the other, i thought it was all computer and emissions.

 

Actually if I'm not mistaken, you gain a few hp by running obd1 compared to obd2, due to less restrictions. Plus you don't get a check engine light if you remove your catalytic converter.

And this is the best price I've been able to find on the harness (including shipping,) and it's where I got mine from. There are cheaper ones on Ebay but they trick you by adding like 20 bucks for shipping. For the record, I tend to stay away from generic ebay parts, but the jumper harnesses are just fine, had mine for over 2 years now.

thanks man for real, just trying to get in the game with everyone else hahahahaha, sick of getting my *** tore off by gay mini vans hahahahahha, i got a 95 dx with a mini me and that just aint cutting it, you know of any decent places to reflash a p28 to run the type r, OR would you even want a p28.

 

i just check your harness and you aint playing thats a decent price. thanks man

 

ok how about this, whats your take on this, what about taking my z6 and dumping the money im gonna throw at the type r into it.

 

Yea turbo it

 

No problem man. You would get a lot more bang for the buck by building a turbo motor and boosting the hell out of it. But I'm partial to DOHC Vtec, there's nothing quite like it. And if you spend the initial money on the DOHC and then, after you save up more money, build and turbo that, you would be making SO much more power. That's what I would do.

 

right on guys, thanks again im sure ill be on here asking more question later hahaha
