    d15b7 swap to d16y4 eg help me!

    we've just started doing an engine swap, from a d15b7 to the d16y4. we thought that everything matched up and bolted straight on, but once we put the engine in the engine bay, we realised that all the wiring for the d16 comes up to the passenger side cause its an ek engine, and in eg's, the wiring comes up to the drivers side. what can we do to hook everything up?

    Use the EG engine harness. But some of the plugs will be different depending on what year D16Y4 you have.

    From memory the plugs are different on Distributor, injectors, alternator and the IAT sensor plug is in a different location

    You can either convert your motor to OBD1 by swapping the above over from your D15B7 or change over the connectors to suit.

    Make sure you use d15b Intake manifold on the Y4

    d16y4 Mani doesnt have IACV
