90 swap,items needed questions

[Culberson]

so i am planning on getting an OBD1 D15B VTEC from a fellow ClubCivic'er for a very nice price to put in my 1990 Civic Dx hatch BUT i have multiple questions haha.

1.my car has a d15b2 OBD0 DPFI motor....can i mock up the MPFI harness with the D15B intake manifold? (can i use the d15b manifold and all its goodness to do the MPFI swap?)

2.will i have to still run the injector resistor box once i convert to obd1? (ive seen diffrent results)

3.also when i get the engine in and start everything what will i need? i know i need a p08 ECU, Jumper harness's from OBD0 to OBD1, OBD1 dizzy....i assume thats it?

4.one more thing my "informant" said its missing the shift linkage out of the tranny...can i use my d15b2 linkage?

i ask all these questions because i have either NOT seen the answer or have seen ALOT of mixed answers,so i ask this just for peace of mind. feel free to add anything you think i might need also cause i wana do it right the first time haha. thank you for looking and i do appologize if this waste's anyones time!

Bump for ya man!!! I know very little about 4th gens, but my friend has a OBD1 b18b1 in his 90' Hatchback sir ( Canada) and when it was swaped he just totally converted the electrical to OBD1 from OBD0... he just swaped the harnesses and put in Integra parts!

It's by cartech it's titled Honda engine swaps. the website is www.cartechbooks.com. The book reference number is z93 and the author is Aaron Bonk let me know if you have trouble finding it

 

[baytownhatch]

Just type in the Honda engine swap part it will bring it up I just checked it's $25

 

[Culberson]

thanks man!

 

[baytownhatch]

Did that look like what you needed

 

[obracer12]

you could always just do a bay harness swap with the motor and retro-fit end plugs where needed.

 

[baytownhatch]

Look up the website dseries.com since your staying with the d15 for now. That's an old motor with alot of miles on it I'm sure. Don't do too much to it if your not changing any internals(cams, forged pistons, rods etc.)

Sorry d-series.org
