Civic EG B16A4 dilemma

[vyrus]

Car originally came with D15b vtec which is obd1.
Car currently has D16 wiring harness converted to OBD2 (im not sure if its even done right).

ok so the civic is an import

far out that is one hell of a combination u have there

JDM car with D16 wiring harness running a JDM B16 variant with a modern USDM ECU

not suprised that you are having conflicts

[vyrus]

^ Tell me about it
I can revert back to the OBD1 D15 vtec wiring harness and the original P08 ecu. Would you advise me converting the b16 to OBD1 ?
And what exactly will I need to change besides the wiring and ecu ?

[TheSaint]

it depends on whats in the car already - if most of it is OBD1 i would convert - but if the majority of parts you have is OBD2 i would go that

OBD2 is better and easier for tuning - and i would recommend staying with whatever the engine comes with

do you still have the vtec d15?

Yes I still have the vtec d15. OBD2 is better for tuning ? I thought it was the other way around :S

how much for the D15? or just the head?

Sounds like you got some wiring issue. Its best to get someone who knows what they are doing with wiring to have a look at it. What area are you from?
