just to start off. i did search. and only found things about motor swaps and obd0-obd1.
i own a 92 rs that is running great and just needs alot of body work done to it. but i found a 91 ls that im thinking about purchasing that has a blown motor. (or so we think, said ~1000$ to fix) and what i was thinking about doing is swapping my motor into that car and making it my dd and building my current integra on the side. (its my first car and i dont want to get rid of it)
would i have to do a obd0-obd1 swap? if i do, what would be the easiest way to do it. im good with wiring. so my thought was either. replacing connectors and just redoing the whole wiring. OR just pulling the harness from the current teg and puting it in the new one. and would swapping the harness still make it so the power options work? like my sunroof and power windows/locks?
whites the current
blues the (hopefully) new one
Ob1 to obdo step down harness annd possibly switch ecu’s
You don’t need to swap obd systems. Just swap the motor and use stuff from the 91(injectors, exhaust manifold, o2 sensor, etc). Its pretty much plug and play.
If you want to change obd systems you can do what cream said or swap the entire harness like I did (i swapped motors and obd systems with an auto to manual swap here) its not that bad if your good with wiring. And yes powet accessories can be swapped over. I didn’t have power locks on my car so I switched the doors so I could have them.
actually, I just noticed the 92 is an rs. The easiest way to switch obd and keep the power accessories would be to go the way Cream1316 said, or keep it obd0.
If you swapped harnesses you would need to rewire the doors and sunroof separately
so, all i need to do is pull my 92 motor out, take intake manifold, exhaust manifold, injectors, distributor, and swap the 91 parts onto that motor? and ill be good. without messing with the wiring or anything? if im missing something that i also need to swap. PLEASE inform me.
and would i be able to use an itr header?
Intake manifolds are the same. Use the obd0 injectors, and distributor, and exhaust manifold. Your also gonna need to extend the wires for the radiator fan switch, 90-91 has it beside the alternator, 92-93 has it on the thermostat housing.
The itr header can be used with a little modification.
