How to do obd2a to obd1 conversion.+update.

[@Commentbelow12]

The speed at which u complete work mindboggling. Thumbs up

[@JamesDguy]

Now that i look back at it im just as shocked!

[@mattmac30]

I use the same obd2 to obd1 conversion piece. I actually am using a stock obd2b harness.. converted all the plugs to obd1.. then had to modify that harness for the h22a1 engine when I got that. Turned out great. Good note is to make sure that conversion piece is plugged in snugged. My first start up didn’t happen because it wasn’t plugged in tight enough.

[@JamesDguy]

Yea for sure. Thought I mentioned that in the video to make sure its fully connected. I might have failed to mention it Idk but deff good advice.

[@tammutab6110]

I have caprice 1994 obd1 12 pin connector i tried to scan with bluetooth i used obd2 to obd1 adapter but i doesn work how does work? is there way to convert obd1 to obd2 other than using obd2 to obd1 adaper thanks

[@mohammadqadri5065]

hey man a small question, will the obd1 ecu work with the obd2 distributor

[@yuphengvang1254]

And the engine harness you're using is all obd2 correct? No swapping harness or anything? I've got a b16a2 obd2 and i'm trying to convert it to a obd1 ecu but my question is .... - do i need to convert the dizzy from obd2 to obd1 IF I do convert the ecu to obd1?

[@gameing4life639]

Did you figure it out?

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

I have a 00 with obd2b to obd1 jumper with a chipped p28 as well. Nice upgrade bro!

[@JamesDguy]

My lord it made a huge difference. Like I felt like a p05 8 valve engine and now it feels how it should.

[@chrisfitzgerald2524]

Where did you get the ecu from?

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

@@chrisfitzgerald2524 92-95 ex models manual preferred but I believe any obd1 board can be converted to vtec and manual as well to suit your needs.

[@noizyvoid5320]

I've got a an 00 as well and was wondering if all I need is the harness and the p28? Do I need to do anything else or is it kinda just plug and play

[@eiserquintero1580]

Hello friend, interesting your video. my case is as follows, my car is a Honda Civic 96 with engine d16y8 ... we have changed the engine for a d15z8 and has the same distributor of the previous engine (obd2a connector) ... with the ecu obd2a the car fails like in your video ... with the ecu obd1 the car does not turn on. the wiring of the car is obd2a ... will you tell me where I have the problem?

[@maurofaria4087]

maybe its a obd2b instead.

[@Diablos809]

those headers are beautiful holy hell

[@dumbarian9265]

It’s Been 5 years and this video I still helpfull

[@NorimitsuKagehiraMaik]

Why does the P3X has 2 Connectors? U have got like 4. Why does the D14A3 has only have 2 Connectors? Does the Conversion jumper even work on a D14A3? Someone that can explain me?

[@tnbjune5177]

Can this be done with an automatic ? Got a 98 civic ex

[@joaquinn627]

I put a jumper harness on a 97 Honda Civic stick shift, now one plug is not connecting at all. Space left has pins to connect did I buy the wrong one? Which one was supposed to be left off in video? Mine is the second big one

[@sullysellsslabs3127]

Hey I have a 97 integra ls but I have a b16a swap so it’s a obd2 to obd1 and a cel popped up and the obd2 scanner obvisouly isn’t scanning it, how do I find the code

[@miguelchilpa2065]

What can be the issue if im not getting any 12 volt on the system..gsr 1995

[@danyyson]

Moore I have a 98 EX D16Y8 which ecu should I run ?

[@YhormTheSmall]

Should I get a p72 for my h22a4 swapped 98 integra? And get hondata 300 for it for the best tuning capabilities

[@YhormTheSmall]

The engine is obd2 so all I need is the harness to plug in the obd1 p72 ecu right?

[@foxisretrofitting4556]

Is there any way you can do this and keep the auto trans?

[@adorno1010]

I wonder what the idle issue was? Cause when I did mine I had no idle issues except for the iacv but that was simple

[@JamesDguy]

Idk I know mechanically the engine has no vac leaks or issues but ecu swap and bam its gone. Lol

[@MyLooneyBin]

I have a non vtec '94 Accord (F22) automatic, can I use a P28? what should I look for, what ECU can I pop in there - I thought I heard you say I could put the P28 in??

[@FroztiProductions]

Wait so if I want a chipped obd1 ecu for my 97 civic I just need this jumper? I thought you had to convert all the leads on the harness going out to each connector.

[@JamesDguy]

FroztiProductions u only need the obd2 to obd1 ecu harness and ecu. UNLESS you install a obd1 engine with odd1 distributor in the car. If ur keeping the stock engine that came in the car then u just need the harness adapter and the ecu.

[@vincentbillionaire]

Moore Motorsports James Dguy hey so I took my 5 speed four cylinder engine out of my 1995 Honda Accord and put it in a 1996 Honda Accord bought the obd2 to obd1 jumper harness and plugged in the the obd1 computer out of my 1995 but the car isn’t starting...it’s starting with the automatic computer tho....how can I fix this ?

[@Schmegil]

@@JamesDguy thank u Jesus Christ I was fixing to abandon ship on my y8 lmfao!

[@Editzbybrian]

How would you pass inspection like this. I basically have the same thing just on a b16 jdm swap and was also Manual swapped but I can’t pass inspection in NY?

[@QQTrick1QQ]

Good deal on the cam upgrade, maybe it's just the audio but sounds like the lifters are a bit noisy. Timing chain, belt or gears while you're in there?

[@JamesDguy]

Its the transmission. Making noise I have a spare if it blows but engine itself sounds great but the phone audio makes it sound way worse than normal. Its hardly noticeable in person. Idk why its like that lol

[@slimelines4394]

Bro did you have to convert the y8 dizzy or did the ecu jumper harness take care of that without having to mess with the dizzy plug when going from obd2a to obd1

[@JamesDguy]

As long as you use a y7 or y8 dizzy you will be fine. Nothing needs done unless you are using a z6 engine then you will need a Z6 dizzy and dizzy conversion harness otherwise all other D swaps can use the y7 or y8 dizzy. Hope that helps

[@user-hh4hc2lt6e]

Please help bro... So your idle would jump?? Mine jumps when the engine is warm, it goes like that, from like 1500-1600/1700.... no clue what it is. And also if I’d keep it revved at 2k it will actually jump up and down from 1500-2000 by itself as long as my foot is on the gas, almost sounds like a rotary or something

[@JamesDguy]

Sounds like a air idle control valve/Vacuum leak or low coolant. Check them first but if that don't work then check dizzy i replaced mine with one from my parts bin and it fixed my issue. There is also a OBD2 wiring pin that needs done if it was auto but you might have to google the obd2-obd1 conversion issues. Its been awhile since i did this exact fix.

[@rickyjohnson974]

what ecu is a 37820-p0j-L11 🤔 new to Honda's and need some help with it

Will this work the same for the zc motor? And will I have problems with inspections? Also if u lived near me I’d give you a d16 motor for free lol runs good. Just don’t need it

[@JamesDguy]

Wow I could use a spare. And Idk if it would pass inspection we dont have them down here but im pretty sure u could tune a chipped ecu to run good enough to pass inspection.

If I'm putting a 94' gsr motor in my 00' gsr car, what all do I need to swap over and what all do I need to keep? Any info helps!

[@JamesDguy]

Jake Cartwright 00 gsr what though? Civic or integra? I would assume you need the obd2b harness and 94 ecu obd1.

[@fullcoverage5305]

Integra

[@fullcoverage5305]

That's all I will need though?

[@JamesDguy]

Jake Cartwright the engine and engine harness for the 99 civic as well. Mounts and so on. If it has a obd2 distributor you will need a obd2-obd1 distributor conversion harness as well

[@fullcoverage5305]

So take my stock 00' gsr out of my integra, replace it with the 94' gsr motor, and all I will have to switch is a conversion harness for my distributer from obd2-obd1? And ecu from obd2-obd1?
