    if you could combine p06 timing with p75 fuel i think it would work pretty well. But it doesnt really matter if your running Crome Pro with autocorrect :-)

    Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    I was looking thrugh my pictures and found this diagram I had made for ericw to try and troubleshoot a problem he was having. Its basicly a quick diagram of the wiring for the obd1 distributor when wired into the accord harness.








    Rudelude Please compare to your notes and if evrything is ok you can add it to your original post.






    These next couple of pictures are for the vss issue. If you do not get a cel dont worry about it. but if you do you must use the speed pulser output from behind the gauge cluster to the ecu vss input. You must use the speed pulser instead of the stock accord vss signal. Once you swap the speed pulser output to the vss wire behind the gauge sluster you must get a 6k resistor to wire in to get the correct polarity vss signal.


    Anyway heres a couple of pics that will ease the install.

    Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    Did anyone ever figure out if a EF Civic DX or Si conversion harness was used? They are both a bit different.

    I'm going to guess the Si.

    Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    there is no dx conversion harness per say. they are all for mpfi (si) if you have a dx, you have to convert to mpfi first (4 injectors) then use the conversion harness. you can get the harness for cheap off ebay, like $50 but the connectores that go into the ecu are real cheap and chew up easly. if you dont plan on removing your ecu alot they will be fine. or you can always depin it and put on the factory connectors you cut out of another car.


    on a side not, anyone who needs a modified obd1 ecu hit me up, i got them by the boatloads, chipping them daily

    Unhappy Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    I have a question about the "redrilling cam key alters your fire order" (or at least the order the plug wires go onto the dizzy).

    It's my understanding that when you redrill the key, it lines up so that distributor points to cable 1 while the engine is at #1 TDC. If the dizzy's rotor still spins the same direction, and starts out at the same spot, how can the other 3 cylinders not also be in line?

    I plan to take my dizzy and stake the base next to the shaft that holds the cam key, at the existing holes in the key, which basically marks where the pin should be when the the engine is at #1 TDC. Then, mount the dizzy, turn the engine until it's at #1 TDC, pull the dizzy out, and stake the key next to the two stakes I made before. The stakes on the key represent where the pin that holds the key on should be at #1 TDC, and when the key is mounted with the pin at that position, distributor and engine should hit cylinders at the same time, plus or minus a few degrees to adjust for by rotating the dizzy a little bit.

    If there is something wrong with this line of reasoning, would someone please point it out and explain to me how I'm wrong?

    Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    the 4th gens firing order is different than ours. Thats why you have to get the cam key redrilled.

    Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    The firing order isn't different. You just can't mount the 4th gen distributor in its TDC position on the A20 with out interference issues. That is why the cam key must be re-drilled. So that TDC on the motor matches TDC on the distributor in its mounted position.

    Re: DEFINITIVE GUIDE: OBD1 Conversion

    Concerning guaynabo89's diagram above, I have a quick question about the cable that goes from our distributor to the left plug on the coil. That particular stretch carries the two wires that go on the small plug in the new dizzy, the blue tach wire and the black/yellow coil positive. It also carries a third wire, which I'm not sure of and didn't have my manual with me to see what it is.
    This third wire is all black I believe, and connected to the casing of our old dizzy unshielded, as if it were a ground. However, following the other end, it goes past the coil, through the radio condenser (fancy square capacitor) and then dives underneath the fusebox.
    Generally anything coming from the fusebox is positive (you can get ground almost anywhere in a car), but it appears to ground the dizzy. My final answer (in the form of a question) is does this wire represent any of the wires in the diagram, and if so, which one? I'm hoping for the green coil negative.

    I thought that sounded weird. A) I've been told all hondas in this class fire 1342, and B)if swapping the wires fixed it, what if someone's rotation wasn't anywhere near 90 degrees (or multiple thereof). I guess all will be settled when I get my key back from the drill press.
    Speaking of which, does someone know offhand, on the stock dizzy, when at #1 TDC, which piston is the rotor pointing at? I know our timing is supposed to 25-15 (I'm guessing, I could be 10 - 20 off) degrees BTDC, but that's not the same piston?! We want to fire near BDC (not BTDC, bottom dead center), surely time from spark to peak ignition pressure isn't over 90 degrees?!

    I'd like to think everyone who pitches into to these documents, especially with the pretty Paint/Gimp diagrams.

My final answer (in the form of a question) is does this wire represent any of the wires in the diagram, and if so, which one? I'm hoping for the green coil negative.
    Since I no longer have radio condenser, and I didn't go look at the car, I'm looking at the diagram in the Honda manual. The negative wire for the radio noise condenser attaches to a screw on the ignitor for a ground and the positive side connects to the black/yellow wire(s). The radio noise condenser/wires are not used in the OBD1 swap. If i remember right the obd1 ignitor has one built in.

    The black/yellow wires attach to the coil positive and the green wire from the ignitor in the distributor is the negative coil wire.


    I'll go look at the car later to verify all of this but it may be hard since I'm not running the stock ignitor either since I'm using the msd system and used an ignitor bypass which I built.

    Coil Diagram

    Terminal A comes from the ignition switch (positive), so I assume that "Coil Negative" is terminal D?
    And then I suppose terminal C is coil positive?

    Is the heater circuit on your 4-wire o2 sensor bad, or did you hook up to one of the existing 1-wire sensors?

    I guess its easy. I used Boomslang MPFI OBD0 to OBD1 conversion harness.
    I used this pinout to double check everything on it http://carotman.no-ip.com:8888/perso...0A3pinout.html

    D21 ->C14 - Sensor Ground (SG1)
    D22 ->C12 - Sensor Ground (SG2)

    The pinouts in bold are the ones you have to rearrange. Underneath them in bold i show how boomslang ran them which is wrong and needs to be arranged like the top one.

    I/H/E, B16 mani, delta 272, OBD1....etc

    Would SCSI cables be an option if you wanted to make custom ecu connections? I have a few old printer ones laying around, and they are about 4' to 6' long.

    Re: obd-1 conversion

    what gauge wires should be used for the 3 you have to add. crank position(2) and ignitor.

    can all 3 be ran in a strand shielded together, or should the 2 crank wires be shielded and the 3rd be separate?

    Re: obd-1 conversion

    Better safe them sorry I would say shield them. As far as size go's they use a 16g or 18g stock I think. So I wouldn't go bigger then 14g I think that would be over kill.

    For my shielded wire I went to lowes, got the 4wire shielded bundle, and used that. I think its like 16g wire.

    Re: obd-1 conversion

    This is for Code 17 or VSS signal.don't know if it works for everybody but it worked for me on my 86. I swap the little white box from a 89 cluster to my 86 cluster.the only difference between the little boxes was the 89 has one single wire coming off of it that the 86 did not have. I give the credit to Rendon L-xi

    Re: obd-1 conversion

    A closer look at the Distributor wiring. Left side is A21 B15 and B16 will be your shielded wire.the green wire under A21 is for external coil distributor only. And the four wires on the right side of the connector you just match the four colors up
