I'm pretty sure they are...

so you'd be in for some soldering or just use OBD1 injectors.

Also you'll have to extend a couple wires, the IAT sensor is located in a differnet place on OBD2 motors.

Also not sure about the alternator, I think you'd need an OBD1 one on your y8

- Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:30 pm #25419 you don't need a conversion harness. see Greasedmonkey's reply on page 1. You should use your old engine harness from your D15b7 and put it on your D16y8, then use your OBD1 dizzy. Then just run the 2 wires to ECU and the ground for vtec, 3 wires total. the info is on page 1. P28 is in the Ex and Si models. be sure you get one from a car that has the same tranny as yours (manual or auto).
