Turbo Vic's 3g OBD-0 B18A Swap Thread

[SQ is the SQUAD]

the other project car is on the back burner until i get my garage up and running. but for now i wanted to get another 3g for a daily driver when i dont have the kids with me. i found a pretty clean 89 LX-I coupe. hopefully if all goes well i can pick it up tomorrow. over the week i found a 90 integra parts car that ran good that i was able to salvage the complete OBD-0 swap from. paid $300 for the car, took the swap out, and junked the shell and got $150 back, not bad. i want to run this set up OBD-0 so i can get some practice doing some tuning on turbo edit. i do have another b20b P8r setup that i am building for an OBD-1 E85 setup. i will convert over to hydro transmission and all.

here are some pics for the mean time

Looks like a fun project, I'd personally upgrade to obd1. Does the ecu plug directly into the harness under the drivers seat?

[obd0driver]

I'm with Legend_master on the obd1 swap. I think he be should be find with the ecu most obd0 plugs are the same. he may have to re-pin hes plugs on the cars end of things. but will out soon. keep us posted

[SQ is the SQUAD]

like i said, when my b20bb motor is done ill upgrade the system to my obd1 set up. as o right now, i dont have the distributor, and i dont plan on buying one. yes the ecu is a direct plug in, there are just a few things that need to be addressed just like in the ond1 swap like ckp wires icm, iac ficv wiring. i actually have a spare lxi wire harness, i am going to make a tuck harness, eliminate some stuff and add the wires needed for the regular type distributor.

legend, are you on FB?

[Legend_master]

Just seems like a lot of work to eventually upgrade to obd1. Either way, I'd be interested to see a b18 swapped with obd1. Yes I'm on Facebook, but I don't go to the 3geez page often.

Messy running a B18c obd1 swap in he's now https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...Honda-s-B-swap. SQ you should talk to him. Ive talked in person about the swap cuz he tryed a b20 obd0 swap and it didn't workout so he went with the obd1 B18c. and hes car has been run fine every since.

[Legend_master]

i want my own tow truck!

[obdriver6]

Monterey green coupe with the center taillight in one piece. I call that a good buy! lol Other than rust in the back and broken rear view mirror, body looks pretty good.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i have the rear mirror. i part with the rust looks like its replaceable. i am going to repaint the whole car another green anyways. i have the mirror in the garage. i already have an extra set of rear disc brakes. 1" master cylinder and brake booster, cross drilled rotors, stainless brake lines, armrest with cup holder. trying to find a red coupe to take all of the black interior from.


yeah, having your own tow truck comes in handy. i love it.

[AccordB20A]

decent sized truck too (Y)

[2ndGenGuy]

Looks like a fun little project! Keep up the updates! I'm jealous that you have your own tow truck!

Hey Victor, glad to see you're still at it! It's too bad your original hatch never made it out.

It's been sitting in a box for the last 3-4yrs and the box isn't really accessible for pics. I can tell you the outside is pretty much mint. I did cut some of the underside webbing though.
