OBD1 or OBD2?

[Vtechno]

with my f20b swap (possible h22), should i keep it obd1 or convert too obd2?

my reasoning for keeping it obd 1 is thats what my car is stock and replacement parts should be easier too find.

my reasoning for converting is too beter suit the motor, pretaining too the f20's FULLL swap, that is. itd just be easier too use the injectors, ac, dizzy, and suchforth. BUT i cant use the powersteering.

just give me yalls thoughts and opinions on what you have chosen, or would chose.

bare with me, i decided too post this before i forgot while i was detailing my eg sedan and doing laundry. ive been up for 26 hours now and am feeling the full effects of lack of food and sleep.......ill take care of that tomorrow, lol.

wtf i wasnt notified about the responses, lol.

thanks for your opinions guys, but please state your reasoning. its kind of the the concept of "give a man a fish, he eats for a day. teach a man too fish, he east for life".

shoud i look for the 92-96 motors or 97+?

obd1

i didnt see your sig at first, lol. did you chose obd1 for tuning purposes? i was about too convert my ef hatch too obd for that reason, but got traded for a clean ass eg....that im trying too trade for a cb7 or as a downpayment.

im running an OBDII h22a

but why though?
WHY WHY WHY!!!! lol.

[m-tec93accord]

OBDII has more tuning constraints

ive read they have more control and interfere w/any altering of the maps(fuel and ignition)

but why though?
WHY WHY WHY!!!! lol.

coz the engine im running came from a BB6 prelude.

so are a few of my buddies running F20Bs.

Did you convert the engine to OBD1, or did you convert the car to OBD2?

[d112crzy]

If you run an OBD2 engine in an OBD1 car, and keep it OBD2, it's a pain in the ass.

You have to run a lot of other sensors, along with the obd2 ecu, which you will have to get a separate harness for it.

OBD1 makes things easier. You don't need an extra harness, just plug up an obd1 ecu for that engine. Or, plug up a chipped ecu.

Also, you cannot tune OBD2, unless you have super deep pockets.

[deevergote]

There are no chipped ECUs in OBD2... not like we know, anyway. The best bet for OBD2 is a full standalone... and many of those will cost more than the engine you're tuning! For a pro racer, they're great. For a hobbyist, totally unnecessary... unless you can afford such expensive toys (and most that can don't tune old Accords!)

Did you convert the engine to OBD1, or did you convert the car to OBD2?

car to OBD2

took the whole wire harness from the halfcut, and the wiring dude did his magic.

[deevergote]

Wow. Cool!

[blizzard335]

Wow. Cool!

thats how we do it over here.

easy peasy lemon squeezy. no need to find OBD1 injektorz or stuff

just take the whole harness from the donor cut and transplant

surgical precision.
