1989 Accord Coupe OBd1 (102k...)

[ShyBoyCA6]

Well as some you know i own 2 accord coupes. I've been working on the Black car on and off but since i have more time now and some money to do tiny things here and there. I finally decided to go OBD1 on the car since im doing the wiring work and wanna get'er done. Here are some Pics of the car in it's current state and slowly coming along.

"Wiring tuck"







I know it dont look like much but heres a better view of the whole thing.


It dont look like i did anything lol well with the AC still intact which i plan on keeping thats the best i can do at this point till i go OBD1 ...

Let me know what you think fellas...

[ShyBoyCA6]

Ignore the chick that idk how the fuck it got there.

[AccordB20A]

Lol!

looks good i reckon.

These engine bays really arent meant for that great of a tuck. Too many vac lines and hoses run all over the place in a random fashion. It looks good for whats been done. Short of eliminating everything but the heater these engines always look cluttered

i have a question: when you go obd1. i know that you need a O2 Sensor on the downpipe. But will this require 3 O2 sensors or just 2? i have a dc header on the car and not sure how it would work. lol since rendon went turbo and Roach when turbo i dont know what to block or which number to run it in if i need all 3 sensors.

[gfrg88]

Should just need two... I have none..

[ShyBoyCA6]

Should just need two... I have none..

How is that? and how is the car running? any pics? im curious and wanna be sure how it goes lol i know its gonna need a tune after im done with it.

I would assume you don't use one of the two from the top. So you would just have the new one you added at the down pipe and one of the two from above. Put i'm not completely sure on that.

i was thinking that but then comes this: would i have to block 4 to1 O2 Sensor or 2 to 3 O2 sensor?

I came up with this answer maybe block sensor 2 to 3 and put it on the down pipe?

[elpuma]

From what i was just reading on team integra obdI only uses one o2 sensor which would go at the down pipe. So i guess the other two you would not need and could simply block them.

it can be done

[ShyBoyCA6]

Also mine is Auto so maybe thats why it don't look as good... that will be coming out since i don't like driving auto so 5spd is gonna be here soon probably in November with a better tuck.

I only used a single o2 sensor when I swapped to obd1. A 4 wire one from either a civic or accord(1990+), I can't remember because I was searching for the one that connected to my harness correctly.

do you have a pic for reference well the connector for the o2 ? and when you swapped did you put it on the down pipe roach?

It sure is looking good. I want to see more updates on it.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Update:
I got the broken header bolt off and DC header is now on . Also Cleaned up the Dizzy and Thermostat Housing since it was rusted inside so it shines like a mofo and ill be replacing all sensors on it and be picking up a NEW radiator for it and start hooking up the Cooling system. Gonna buy some Slim Radiator fans and use the old fan connectors and splice them to make them OEM. Also will be getting a Quick Release Steering wheel for it and a couple of Gauges for temp,volts and fuel Pressure Gauge. Lots of stuff coming very soon. once im done with this car im gonna tear down Rhonda and will await the same process.
this guy is gonna be busy and showing some love to the car.
