now i got avid mounts for my b16 and they suck ass the quality sucks, the urthane bushings were not in all the way and the holes were oval so you had to move the motor around so stay away from them. now i was told you can use stock z6 mounts with the b series motors but idk :? . the sway is real easy it was my first one that i did good luck :thumb:

Not sure what you mean by the obd1 harness not pushing out what you want...

But there is no need to get any other harness than what is on your car right now. You took out a z6 which already means most of your vtec wiring is there for when you add the DOHC VTEC head. OBD2 harness are not set up like our OBD1 parts. Your current harness will plug in and work wonderfully on the B20, unless some wires are ripped/torn and such.

- Wed Aug 18, 2010 6:52 pm #209494 i know i can use my harness just didnt know if i had to change out my wiring harness because my z6 is obd1 plus this is something i wanted to do but ended up crashing as a project , its a future plan i got the same things i need to do the b20 swap but ended up doing the ls swap because i got the motor for cheap from my friend changing out his tranny so i went with what is cheaper , and right now all i need is a fucking tranny and i can get my coupe running , i really wanted to just stay with d16 so it can just be alot easier and forget about but i want to learn how to do a swap and how to do valve adjustments , on my own this site has DIY why not learn and save some money in ur pocket ask stupid question and see where i get to learn what -others do know + the motors out why not do dohc get more power

- Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:07 am #209567 If you wanted to swap harnesses because the motor you were getting is OBD2, then the stock/current harness would work still. The only things that change from OBD1 to 2 is the Dizzy, and alternator.


I did my B swap for the same reason you are. I got it CHEAP. made more sense than getting another D.
