hey guys heres updated vid.......http://s339.photobucket.com/albums/n467/cobaltsc1/?action=view¤t=HPIM2733.mp4
we did that all we tried it first with the y7 but it ran like s*** same as it does now so we thought we messed up then used the d16y8.... since we didnt have to convert anything it was all plug and play...... shouldnt have to rewire since using the d16y8 its only 2 wire for the iacv which is what the integra is...ok I just went over your link to jdmuniverse thread and I could be wrong but it sounds to me like he is telling you how to hook up a vtec motor, so using the Y8 would only be helpful if you had to wire up for vtec, since the Y8 harness is already wired for vtec. This is from the tag you gave;
You can go about the wiring 1 of 3 ways:
Option #1:
-Utilize your stock CX/DX/LX Wiring harness
Option #2:
You will need:
-99-00 Civic EX engine harness (DO NOT GET AN AUTO EX HARNESS, ONLY A 5-speed harness)
Option #3:
You will need:
-99-00 Civic Si engine harness
You chose #2 correct? Well read this and tell me if it makes sense to you if wiring for a non vtec motor?
If you do Option #2
-Steps A-D are already integrated into the factory EX harness.
-Steps E-G will still need to be done.
Now take a look at Steps A-D
a) Run a grn/yellow wire from ECU pin B12 to the VTEC solenoid (VTEC B-series only)
b) Run a blue/blk wire from ECU pin C10 to the VTEC pressure switch (VTEC B-series only)
c) Run a red/blue wire from ECU C3 to the Knock sensor (VTEC B-series only)
d) IACV plug will need to be switched from a 3-wire to a 2-wire version and some ECU wires need to be moved around.
-On the "B" ECU plug, remove the blk/blue wire from pin B6 and move it to pin B23
A lot of Vtec wiring going on there for a non vtec motor? Also like UCCRACING stated if you stuck with the stock Y7 harness you would just have to rewire for the IACV, well this is from the same instructions you are using;
-On the same "B" ECU plug, De-pin B15 and wrap with electrical tape, it is no longer needed.
-Either cut off your new B-series harness or find a B-series IACV plug.
-On the civic 3-wire plug, de-pin the orange wire and wrap it up with electrical tape, it is not needed.
-From the 3-wire civic plug, cut+splice the yellow/blk wire onto the grn/blk wire on the new 2-wire plug.
-From the 3-wire civic plug, cut+splice the blk/blue wire onto the blk wire on the new 2-wire plug.
e) Run a wire (think its a pink/blue wire not sure though) from ECU pin B16 to the IAB sensor (GSR only)
Sounds to me like you still have to rewire for Iacv so I could be wrong but it is something to ponder, at least if this was my install this is where I would be heading, you said you have been down with this car for over 2 weeks now, well if I were you I would change out harnesses, what could it hurt? let me know as I too am interested in your build.
yes got iacv cel which is code 14.... not sure why we getting it... we get that code on the obd1 b18b ecu.Oh Yeah,just one more thing, I was going over this post in my head after posting above and did you say you have a check engine light on? Well if you do what is the code, what is the ECU telling you it is?
the y8 iacv plug is right... got no power steering and plugs are all in and we did vac test with vac gauge and it was good.... its right tb due to it was on teg didnt change itOkay one last shot here have you tried looking at the plugs to the iacv and make sure you don't have the wrong plug plugged in there, I know on my Y7 there are two plugs that are exactly the same and can be switched, Make sure the plug on the power steering solenoid is green not grey? just recheck all your plugs and vacuum It sounds like you are almost there just have something off, maybe check to make sure you have the right TB and or TB gasket?
How do you know for sure it is right, not trying to say you don't know what your doing but how do you know for sure, because it fits?the y8 iacv plug is right... got no power steering and plugs are all in and we did vac test with vac gauge and it was good.... its right tb due to it was on teg didnt change it
we followed the steps on the forums... it says that we dont gotta modify it....but never know ill new to hondas my buddy thats helping has done couple swaps.ill point him this way.How do you know for sure it is right, not trying to say you don't know what your doing but how do you know for sure, because it fits?
we running obd1 ecu.its not a ecu problem due to ran it in my friends obd2a integra and we put it in my buddies civic swapped b16a2 and it ran them both fineWhat ECU are you using? Is it an OBD2a or OBD2b?
nope all out of ideas never even looked at it today... just dont know wth is wrong. There is a guy local here with b18b swap into his ek we gonna go check out his wiring if he will let us..Any Updates today bro?
