B16 in a 99 EK

[civic8891]

I wanna put a b16 in a ek. What b16 motor should I use? do i need the b16 engine harness or can I use my stock one? Can I get a OBD0 engine I put it in my car? Thanks

[civic8891]

Also if I get an OBD 1 b16 engine, can I run a 99 civic si ecu or do I have to use the OBD 1 b16 ecu?

you can run any year motor. you use your stock engine harness. you need a obd1 or obd2 dizzy, injectors, ecu. and your good.

i run any year motor, do I need the ecu from the same year? or can I MISMATCH?

[NHSwaps13203]

what year is your car

[Alpinestar03]

Since your car is a 99, your obd2. You can use any obd2 ecus. Id stay away from the integra gsr ecu, slightly diffrent maps and some have immobilizers that are a PITA. You can mis-match years, as long as its close to your year. Use an ecu from a usdm 99-00 civic SI or from a usdm 96+ del sol SI vtec both had b16's.

The thing with obd2 ecus, there is no real good way to tap into the stock ecu and tune it.. You have to get a obd1 ecu like a p28 or p72 and use a 0bd1 -> Obd2 ecu jumper harness.

you'll also have to do a lil mod to your stock engine harness if you were to use it...making it non vtec to vtec...quite simple if you look it up... or you can use stock b16 or civic ex engine harness..those are plug and play and require no modification.

ff-sqaud.com good info for wiring.

And if you do, do a b16 swap then your stock mounts are fine but for any b18 swap into a civic requires a bracket you can find the part number if you look up all the info you need.

theres more stuff to but if you serious about it ask questions

for a b16, i can use my stock d16z motor mounts?

[civic8891]

also for a ls swap i only need the rear bracket?

[Herminshs]

As long as the LS is from 96 or better.

BTW, I have 2 b16 ECU's from 99 SI for sale, cheap, $50

You want 50 each? where are you located? im interest in the ecus.

wrong
1999-2000 = obd 2b
1996-1998 = obd 2a
totally different plugs

your best bet is to get a stock 1999-2000 SI ecu since the motor is stock, but all obd 2 motors have a seperate crank sensor on the oil pump opposed to obd 1 which has it built into the distributer, and obd 2 ecus also look for the secondary o2 sensor in the cat. Something to think about

also the dizzy plugs are differant if you were to use a sohc harness with a dohc dizzy..easy fix though..i have a dizzy plugg diagram if anyone needs it

do a gsr swap
