i'm swapping my boys type r motor into his 96 ek hatch..its a jdm type r motor obd2....i was wondering..if you guys know how to do the wiring?...would i just take out the civics whole wiring harness from engine to ecu?..and install the type r's wiring harness from engine to ecu..i read a little about it..on hybrid honda ...but kind of confused...or do i just use the stock civic wiring harness and add vtec wires?...if anybody knows...help me out...i know it needs a 99 civic rear engine mount..just need help with the wiring..thanks!..

what year is the B18C1?

 

i'm not exactly sure..but its from hondamotorsonline...i'm guessing 96 and up..they said its 0bd2...

 

wireing is going to suck to get done right. you have top rewire the IACV and wire for the knock sensor, vtec, and the 2nd o2 has to be behind the car to be emmitions compliant. you will need to get the exaust redone with the cat after the firewall and you will need an A/C mount from either a del sol VTEC or a 99+ civic with the DOHC, same with the rear t bracket. You will need shift linkages and axels and im. shaft and throttle cable.

 

thanks for the reply..but didn't help me out to much..but we don't really care bout emmisions here...they don't check that stuff in Michigan...but thanks..

 

well the ECU will throw a code without that second O2 and put it in "safe mode" IE no reving past 4000 RPM.
