I know its going to have to be chipped but what kind should I get? and where can I chip it?
I need cheap to like around $120 at most.

 

y7 obd1?

I thought all y7's were obdII

and personally I dont know of any good companies that "chip" ecus. What are you trying to accomplish?

Y7 is the motor in the 96-00 Civic HX, I believe, it is a SOHC vtec but enviromentally friendly, meaning you get less power, goes down from the 127 of the y8 to 115 I believe. Anyways, If i'm not wrong 96 and up cars are OBD2, So he could go OBD1. I think

 

last time i looked under my hood, my D16Y7 was Non-Vtec and i know its OB2. and its from the 96-00 (i believe) Dx

 

It is an OBD2 non-vtec SOHC engine. I am making a harness to go to OBD1, so that I don't have to be restricted by the second O2 sensor and can change the wiring harness around.

 

You are all correct, my Hayes, pep boys manual, says D16y5 Dx, D16y7 Hx and D16y8 Ex. But with a little research on the web I found out the truth, or what you guys were saying. OK. I'm also Planning on making a harness, I found a Conversion Table that tells you wich pin is which on the conversion. It is on their Website, tech section.

This might help you, not sure if you already have this. I looked everywhere and the cheapest already made conversion harness was about $185.00.

 

d16y8: ex d16y7: lx;dx d16y5: hx


the d16y7 is garbage....why would you put money into it?
