i had a b18a1 in my civic and now swapping the j-spec gen2 b16a i came across a few problems.my b18a1 had 3 sensors on the back of the block.the b16a has only 2(one being a knock sensor) what and how am i suppose to work this out ? my car is mpfi and still running obd-0 ecu's.i have searched and still no info on this.any help is appreciated.:goodjob: i honestly have no clue where to go and the sensor ordeal is the only thing stopping my swap from going in.

convert it to obd0 and disable the knock when you have a chip burned. if you want i have an obd0 dizzy for b16

well we have a obd-0 vtec ecu w/knock.but thats not the problem.and how much for your distributor ?.. the b18a1 has 3 sensors 2 of them the b16a does not have on the block.there is a spot for one and i was told the other sensor is on the thermostat housing.still need some help.

make me an offer and we can go from there on the dizzy. as far as the sesnors, one is for the fans (on mine which was obd0 and i converted to obd1) that isnt as big a deal bc you can wire around that or you can extend the wire and connector to it, if you want to go this route i have an obd1 connector for it and i need an obd0 connector. umm ill try and remember what the others were.
