BAREFOOT i need you....98 civic b18b swap wiring help

[dallasb84]

well i got the whole swap in today. and pulled the d series out.

its a 98 civic non vetec ex 5 speed. and i installed a b18b in.

most of the plugs are going in problem is that some reach and some dont......so. heres my little problem. when i removed all the plugs from the d series i didnt pay attention to what i was taking off and so forth so now im a bit lost.

you gave me a link to the 98 integra owners manual in pdf format for my tranny rebuild but i think tomorrow i might need the civics too. so i can identify all those pesky plugs.

i need to hit this beotch from both holes so if you could get me that info id be most grateful.


for anyone thats familiar with this swap please chime in any do's, donts, advice, and so forth. i wanna wrap this part of the job up tommorrow......


why didnt honda put the b18 in the civic..... it looks so nice.

the swap is pretty straight forward.
also what do i do about the lack of a knock sensor on the b18?u will be using the b18b ecu so the knock sensor will not be used.

the wires that dont reach. will need to be extended. cut, add wire, solder, and then heat shrink.

i think barefoot should start charging $1 for each inquiry

got the motor to run but the ecu was blinkin cel like crazy...... my internet was down at the most critical time so i had no access to anything online....

i got mad plugs mixed up lol :) but ill get em straight hopefully. i searched earlier this evening for a wiring diagram with color codes but came up with nothin. imagine that. so i pressed forward....

right now i got the motor running on the d series ecu until i get all the plugs figured out. i dont want to damage the ls ecu. i lengthened most of the plug wires so i can reach just about anywhere in the engine bay if need be so its kinda a mess. its fuked up how so many of the plugs match different sensors.

:) im content so far but i really need to find the right wiring diagram for the non vtec d16.

so far so goodie

thats what im hoping.... im running into another issue for the ckf sensor..... from what ive read the ckf sensor fix doesnt work and will still throw a code.....secondly i dont like the idea of bypassing the sensor alltogether.....

what i did was spliced the two wire to the three wire......

blue (ground to ecu) to blue red

white to white red

black to brown and to metal shielding jacket......

hopefully it works..... ive been looking for a splice how to but came up short again.
