Ecu Diefferences

[tommi]

hi i would like to know why obdo ecu will not work with a h22
is there a way to convert the obdo to a obd1 (pretty sure there is a way) as im told
p.s. anyone in the midwest that did there own swap?
since my accord is a 90 the ecu's are different then the 92-93 ecu which makes the swap more difficult? what are my problems here?
or am i just making things too complicated for myself???

There is no OBD-0 ECU for the H22A. The H22 didn't come out till 1992 in Japan and 1993 in the US both being released with an OBD-1 ECU. Why would you want to run an OBD-0 ECU anyway? There is so much potential now with OBD-1 it would be rediculous to do anything else.

no what i was saying was that i currently run a (odbo) right now in my accord since it is a 90 accord and not as up to date as the 92-93 ecu's (obd1) which i will need to swap out for a obd1???
or will the obdo work with the h22 swap? **i need help**

90 accords arent OBD0... they are OBD1 along with the rest of the 4th gen accords. so if you drop the motor in, but use the entire accord wiring harness with the H22 ECU at the other end of it, itll work perfect

[tommi]

so mike where am i getting this obdo from is that the older gen accords or is it non existant?
so we all are runninig obd1 ecus?
and does your vtec run right now?
what are the four vetec wires needed to run vtec?

if you wanna talk to me via im then i will talk to your futher on there if you want.

OBD0 is the older gen accords... we all have (slash had) f22's, which are OBD1. and yes my vtec is working, life sucked when it didnt... haha...

http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...&threadid=5423 check out that thread, it covers just about everything u need to know (plus more) for doing the H22 swap... im going out for the day in a few minutes so i cant get you on AIM... send me an IM and we can talk later. my SN is cp****

[tommi]

and this guy that im paying to do the swap is saying something about a computer behind the gauge cluster he said would have to take out to put something in it?
does our axle and spindle work with the 22?

[tommi]

yea because this guy says to use the accord harness too.
and he says the vtec won't be working with out a vtec controller or what not did you use one or what did you do mike?

sounds like this guy doesnt really know what hes doing, at least for getting the h22 to work... print out and show that thread to him (the swap FAQ by bustedLX)... if you run the extra wires for vtec, u dont need a controller.

theres not even a computer behind the gauge cluster, so who knows wtf hes talking about there.

and yeah you use the accord axles/hubs/everything. its all covered in that thread

[tommi]

thanks mike you have cleared up quite a few of my questions today thanks again.
gee too bad you live sooo far away you look like you could do alot with swapping i coulda did this on my own and saved alot of money if i had someone like you around to help me(but i guess that couldn't possibly happen).lol
and yea that faq sheet will help alot.
