Z6 in a EF..Wiring questions
Im getting ready to swap a Z6 into my EF hatch. It came DPFI,but I have already converted to MPFI. The jumper harness for the ECu was a no brainer, but I need to know where to send my harness off to to get mine Z6 ready. I am pretty sure I will have to use my factory harness, I just need to find out who can swap the OBD1 plugs on to my OBD0 harness. I was going to do it myself, but ---- it, I want it done right the first time, I dont feel like screwing with. I check a lot of sites, but none are offering this anymore, all I see is OBD ECU conversion harnesses.
EDIT, well, Can I use my stock harness and just wire in vtec? I was under the assumption that OBD0 Plugs were different from ODB1 plugs, so they wounld fit on the harness.

Re: Z6 in a EF..Wiring questions
Damn! dude wanted 300 for a SI-Z6 harness. ---- that. I think I may just run obd0 and say ---- vtec. I forgot I had a A6 dizzy, I found it in my garage today. A while back when my ZC ran, I was working on some conversion ---- to eliminate the external CPS by using a A6 dizzy and rewiring it with the square plug, which I did, leaving the two wires for the CPS un pinned to be used in another connetcor with the two wires coming out the ECU.
Sooo what I did was use a male end to the external CPS from a 88 teg for the wires coming out the ECU for the CPS, I used the female plug off the External CPS itself on the CPS wires coming out the A6 dizzy. Ironically they were the exact same style pine so it pluged in perfect.i will take pics tomorrow. Hopefully we will be putting the Z6 in this week, We will see what happens on OBD0 land. I spent All today redoing my harness after work. I redid my MPFI, resoldered everything, replaced my fucked up "B" plug on the ECU. those pins are easy as hell to undo now, I wish I knew what the ---- I was doing the first time....I might have been able to pull some passes out the DOHC before it blew up. Live and learn, I have learned alot working on the EF and ------- around here. Plus it helps when you do this everyday and not just with Hondas.

Re: Z6 in a EF..Wiring questions
cant swap sensors from my ZC (same ---- as A6) to my Z6? were gonna try it today. If you are willing to send the PR4 out first I will trade, I gotta have this thing up asap, I need a ECU to run this bitch. There are NO junk Si's or LX sedans to pull PM6's from around here, and the one D16A1 Integra I saw in the yard was already raped. LMK asap cause I would be more than happy to trade.
