hey ive just about completed my b16a conversion (out of a jdm xsi) but i have 2 connectors left over that i have no where to plug into.
i have been told that now i have to take off the b16a engine harness and use my b18a one… and wire up the 4 wires for vtec etc…
im not really looking forward to this as it is one hell of a job to swap engine harnesses with the engine already in…
this ever happen to anyone else and what did yous do to get around it ???
heres pics the 2 plugs
cheers
you have round connectors, which means your car is obd0, therefore you didnt get the motor out of an xsi, its a first gen b16a. also you need to use your cars wiring harness and wire the extra vtec and knock wires in.hope that helps man.
so i have to take off the wiring harness of the b18 and use it on the b16… im really not looking forward to swapping that over !! then engine is already in…
and i did get the engine out of an xsi coz i saw the car with my own eyes ?? lol
hmmm
This does not make any sense… Mr. Integra, I suggest you ignore this comment.
You are going to want to use your b18a engine harness. The b16a engine harness is from a rhd car, which means the connections are on the wrong sides. It would have been wise to read the engine swap guide before starting your swap, however its still not too late, so you should go read that before you do any more work (hint, its in the Teg Tips).
im sorry, but i thought all obd0 connectors were the round ivory colors. and xsi tegs were obd1 which equals square gray connectors. new to the obd0 thing, i was always an accord/prelude guy.
man… i didn’t even realize that… then yeah, you can use the jdm wiring harness… (obviously wires need to be added if your car was not originally vtec equipped…but it sounds like you’ve got it all figured out )
mayberry: they made xsi’s in 89-91 as well, so there are both obd0 and obd1 xsi’s.
