Also remember guys when doing k swaps stick with certain years 02-04 are k pro compatible, 05-06 can't be mixed with 02-04 with out issues. 05-06 can be tuned with ktuner but kpro is much nicer to have. also any engine harness will work as long as its 02-04 MANUAL harness. 02-05 ep3 civic si's can be used as well. rsx base ecu with immobilizers will throw codes for intake manifold functions. 02-05 ep3s don't have that issue, so their another good option. even a base k20a3 would rock out in our cars. My 96 civic hatchback with k24a4 and ep3 5 speed header, intake, exhaust, and a hondata reflash for the ep3 rolls out very nicely.

I recently acquired a 1987 civic wagon. I've decided to do a d16y8 with ex hydro transmission. I saw several companies making carb manifolds for the newer vtec motors, whether it be bike carbs or dcoe weber's. I went head and ordered hasports 84-87 civic d hydro mounts. To start off i started looking into the wiring differences of the oem harness. I wanted to start with the distributor. If any of you guys by chance know what all the wires from the factory coil on carb car are i can fill in the blanks. I know everything about the obd2a distributor. 

 

 

Obd2a distributor d16y8                                                                        

 

ckp position + light blue

ckp position -  white

 

cyp position + yellow

cyp position -  black 

 

tdc sensor + green

tdc sensor -  red

 

rpm signal : dark blue

ign output : black/yellow

 

stock wiring 87 carb car coil passenger fender

 

thin black/yellow- to distributor from bottom coil plug- funcition guess? ignition? 

blue to distributor from bottom coil plug??function??

thin black grounds to housing

 

thick black/yellow to top coil plug- back to wire harness

blue to top coil plug back to wire harness

 

theres a few more wires in the area that have a junction relay and a green plug that goes back into the engine harness. these above wires are the main concern for function of the distributor. does anyone know thes wires functions or have a lead on a wiring diagram? I assume with the d16y8 distributor most will be deleted or not used as there isn't any use from modern position sensors.

 

I have tons of old single cam parts laying around is the largest reason for my choice, most junk yards around here wanted between 550-860 for a ew that hasnt run in years. 

 

 

Hi guys its been sometime since i been here. on fb last night i found out the forum still existed. Most of you guys talked to me when i was doing the h2b swap in my 87 hatchback. The car is long gone, but i still have the swap. My cancer has been in remission for good while now, i did have a surgery that they removed lower lobe of my left lung. Its nice to see things are still about.

 

I now have a 87 fwd wagon, i have two d15a1 engines here, i was wondering what all are you guys doing in ways of higher compression, different carbs other then the 32/36 Weber, last i remembered headers were none existent  and i know cheddas has a flange to use to weld up your own header. I know colt use to make cams, is anyone still making cams? I'm looking at hopping up this old girl as much as i can. cars in great shape. Tell me what you guys are running, have or want? I'd like to catch up and see how everyone's builds and cars are doing.
