Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[stevo716]

i pretty much threw in a b18c2, with a ys1 cable gearbox, used my loom obd0 n added the vtec wire

ah that might be ur prob. that wire dont exist,
b18c2 is obd1 as well i believe depedning on yr of engine
but yeh it goes back to ecu, then out to fans. so ull need the obd1 loom i believe, unless u can get them to turn on another way
research how obd0 turned em on and run it that way??

[stevo716]

theres a switch on back of the block for a obd0 that turns on the fans too, so the plug is there
if u ran that to the thermostat housing shud work. itll prob be diff outlet though

[espionage85]

ok, so how does this work?
could i have plugged in something in the wrong place?
what are the 2 plugs that connect to the radiator fan?

[stevo716]

far as i read from googling
the fan swithc for the obd0 is on theback of the block
There should be 2 plug in there
oil pressure and fanswitch
so u shud have one dangling
is there a wire plugged into the thermostat?

from wat i found ppl had to extend the fan switch cable to reach the thermostat

[espionage85]

ok, so my obd0 harness should have the plugs that i need to plug into the fanswitch on the b18c2 motor..
maybe i plugged it into the oil preasure?
man this is really frustrating me lol
im scared to drive the car now, since it overheated on me..

and you are the king of googling lol
i cant find s#it

[stevo716]

type in fan switch obd0
and read around
im pretty sure its at back of block
but i cud be wrong
i got obd1 engine so yeh

[espionage85]

ok, cheers for that..
ill keep you updated on how i go.. might head out now n have a quick look..

[espionage85]

ok, i just had a quick look.
my b18a1 whick i took out has 2 plug looking things next to the oil filter
1 has 1 pin thing coming out of it
and the other is slighly bigger with 1 pin coming out..
i looked at the loom that i received with the motor i purchased, and it looks like he modified it with plugs?

im gon look at my loom that in the car in a minute and see if i can find the switches i need,
i hope its still there, hanging somewhere lmao

that is what i see on my b18a1

i have a feeling the b18c2 will look different

[espionage85]

STEVO716!!!!! you are the man...
you lead me on the right track.
i just finished, my obd0 loom had the wires for the fanswitch, as shown on the link above.
so i extended the wires, and found the right plug of my other loom, and put it all together and onto the new fan switch which sits next to the thermostat on the b18c2.
going to run it through the loom neatly next week when i convert to obd1 and put in a new computer..

thanks heaps for that bro, appreciate it

[espionage85]
