OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

ive searched this alot, found alot about obd0 > obd1 but nothing on this...

im not going to buy the harness for this... if i change all the sensors and hardwire them into my Z6 harness will this work?... i want to keep the car obd1... or whatever is easiest... i need some opions on this... im buying the y7 tomarrow, and getting it sunday... need info asap...

-thanks..

(ps. im downgrading cause my engine is shot and i need something to drive!... plus i have an almost complete turbo kit that is perfect for this)

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

slap on a D15B7/D15B8 dizzy and run a PO6 ecu and be done.........

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

does this still include hardwiring and swapping all the sensors?... (im new to obd2)

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

there is no wiring to be done...just get the right ecu, injectors, and dizzy

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

which ecu , dizzy, and injectors?.... i want to run this engine as an obd 1... should i swap sensors if i dont get this things...

- thanks :8

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

obd1 non-vtec ecu and dizzy and obd1 injectors....just take the dizzy and intake mani off the old motor (esp since the y7 one blows donkey dick)

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

oh alright.. that seems simple enough.. so i can even use my z6 injectors with z6 manifold?... if i understood that right.. thats awsome...

u said use non-vtec dizzy and then u said the one off the old motor... my old motor is a d16z6... so i would need a diferent one correct?

thanks alot!

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

when i did this exact swap i used a non-vtec obd1 dizzy...but i dont know if the z6 one wold work im no swap master, bolt it up if it fits and try it or wait for another response

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

hmmn.. ok.. i read up on this on another site... it said i can use my entire z6 fuel rail... but im still debating whether or not i can use the p28 ecu and dizzzy

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

Posted after Bone already told you:

Which works great until you slap the turbo stuff on there. If you treat the Y7 like a B7 you'll feed it too much ignition timing.

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

and same goes for the b8?... cause i have an ecu avaible to me from a 95' CX, not sure if thats the 7 or 8.. im gonna check right now

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

Yeah, ECUs from engines that make 20 hp less are a real bright idea. Make sure you spray on it, too.

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

right now i just want it to run... i need a car... when its driving ill worry about what ecu and stuff to get for when i go FI

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

CX ECU might run okay at real low rpm aka limping along, but they're set up for 190cc injectors instead of the normal 240cc so I doubt it.

Best route is to buy a P06, get the P05 chipped, or buy an already chipped ECU with the correct (stock) program for your engine... since Y7 is not OBD1, P06 will do you fine, but if you spray/boost/etc you REALLY need to address ignition timing.

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

That would dump in a lot more fuel than needed with 240s and the P05.

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

Get a P06, swap internals from the Z6 into the y7 dist. Just pull all the stuff off your old engine and swap it onto the y7. No wiring has to be done if your swap the dist internals. Everything will bolt right in and no modding needed. No need to repin it or anything like that.

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

alright thanks alot for the help guys, ill be swapping this in tomarrow night after i pick it up... (and yea thats my girl there leaning on my car) ;D

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

Does it matter if the engine came out of a 1997, obd1/obd2 car ?

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

UPDATE!*

- i picked up the engine and ist not what i expected,,,, but better
its a Y7 block, with a Z6 head, and Y8 intake manifold, also header and adjustable cam gear... the kid tuned it with emanage when it was in his civic and he dyno'd it and gave me the sheet... he put out 120 hp @ 4500 rpm to the wheels and 109 tq... so this engine will work with my ditsy and ecu.., its pretty solid as well ....basically i worried for nothing ::)

thanks anyways!

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

ill upload them on monday,

hey should i keep the y8 manifold on there? or is my z6 better flowing?

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

Splitting hairs

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

.. does that mean not much of a difference?

Re: OBD2 Y7 engine into EG
 

WELP... its in.. and it runs... its quick too.. it impressed the hell out of me...

i cant get it to idle right.. i put the z6 TB on the y8 manifold that it has, and it helped... it has trouble starting/ starting and staying running after it sits for awhile... just takes a couple minutes till it heats up then it just idles high but runs great.
