b16a1 swap question

[BLU CIVIC]

got my chipped p28 and ecu jumper harness today...ordered the Rywire obd-o to obd-2 distributor harness and going to get the 4-wire o2 sensor...i hope that's it

[FrodoGT]

What basemap did they put on the p28? Do you plan on a tune? Before you go and get a 4 wire o2 I suggest just buying a wideband. One with 5v and 1v outputs (most of them) and use that as your narrowband so that you can monitor your AFR at all times. After that, welcome to being fully tunable bud! Next steps are an ostrich and hulog...then your ready for boost :P

[FrodoGT]

If your ok with a soldering iron i have been looking at this as a low cost wideband www.14point7.com But the innovate lc1 is good too, or a plx. My aem came with the gauge but only has one output so I still run my narrowband.

[BLU CIVIC]

all of that is foreign to me for the moment

but good news...4 wire o2 sensor is still attached

he put a B16b basemap one it...VTEC engages @4800 RPM and rev limit @8500RPM and disabled the speed limiter

he called to see what basemap i wanted but could reach me, it isn't like i could tell him anyway...i just set foot into the world of Vtec and tuning

[FrodoGT]

Umm.. afaik there is no b16b basemap. its like the y8, obd2 and therefore runs on an entirely different system.

[BLU CIVIC]

well, started yesterday evening, in the rain...should finish today hopefully as long as my distributor harness comes in

[BLU CIVIC]

no distributor harness...darn you Rywire but the only thing that's left is wiring...and trying to use the OBD-2 injectors

Damn... that looks so clean w/ the red valve cover in your bay... You gonna re-do the logo on the top of the timing cover?

[BLU CIVIC]

probably

[Christ]

Pry have to do it in black then, right? I dunno dude, I hope everything goes great for you and nothing happens to your ride, but you accepted a huge risk when you put that motor in your bay.. There are alot of fuckers out there that would wrong a Honda just to turn a buck, and fuck the guy that put his life into building it up...

Good Luck.. Looks great.

i was pretty much a spectator during the whole process...i just watched, tried to help, and just held the flashlight...cost me $20 and McDonald's food to get the swap done

about 2-3 people in the area know what my actual engine is and this is the only site where i have it posted...since everyone knew i was getting a B16...i posted this

LMAO. Good Job. Now you're at least a lil safer.. don't show off your engine too much though, someone will notice what you've got, even though it's quite possible to paint a valve cover or stick a new (CTR) one on... they'll still see.

I"m thinking about building one more D-series engine... since I'm getting rid of the ZC, I'm thinking about building a SOHC Vtec... CRX HF (D15B8) block w/ D16 crank (you can make it work with machining) and Z6 head... with a combo like that, and the resultant compression from any piston/rod combo I've looked at, it's a good thing D-series parts are cheap, this thing might blow up a couple times. Another reason I still haven't been really working on going B-series lol.

BTW, if you paid for it and you were there to learn something from the install, you can still say you did it.

[BLU CIVIC]

yeah, everyone that's helped me has been real cool...posting threads for me to ask questions so i won't draw any attention...but now i need to find OBD-2 injector clips, knock sensor, and a couple other things

[Christ]

Are you using the stock ECU or the OBD-1 P28 you had?

If you're using and OBD-1 ECU, don't worry about using the OBD-2 injectors... you can steal the OBD-1 injectors from the B18 you pulled and insert them.

That will get you running for less money... and since you've already spent a hefty sum on the motor and suspension, I'm sure you'd like to find something "free" lol.
