- Fri Sep 02, 2011 8:45 am #270066 Hi, I am relatively new to engine swapping, and I just had some questions.

I have an Obd1 1992 Civic Eg Hatch. I want to swap a 1990 OBD0 b18b1 into my car. I don't know what to do. Should I just buy an OBD0 Wiring harness and figure that out? If so, what all do I need to complete the swap?


OR, Should I just swap the Dizzy, and entire intake manifold and just go OBD1? I am just curious as to what all I'd have to do if I went obd0. I have EVERYTHING. Other than the wiring harness. I have ECU, Dizzy, Intake manifold, and all that. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just don't want to make a mistake.

If your car is a dx your current engine harness will work you will need to swap injectors from your sohc to the ls though , you will also need an obd1 ls ecu and a obd1 ls distributor

Yours is a v grooved belt for the power steering pump and im not quite sure that the high pressure hose will mate to it. being a da/eg ?

Hope this helps
