Vtec My Mini ! Obd2B ?

Hello there .
I am restoring my classic mini and have just installed a role cage . I have now decided with the extra weight i will need extra power so im am considering taking the VTEC route .
Going to use an allspeed subframe and want to use a b16a2 engine .

I haave been offerd a b16a2 engine from a 1999 civic , Its come with the gearbox and loom ecu ect.
It also is a OBD2B . Will this make things tricky when wiring it up because of the imobiliser ?
Can anyone give me more detail on this ?
cheers
Eddy

Hello,

Sounds like a good plan, always nice to see another honda transplant. As for the loom it all depends on what you want to do, buy a kit or build your own. i'm not clued up on the OBD variants however I didnt have a clue about mine (OBD1 1998) and i striped and rebuilt my loom and just recently started the engine with it and trust me if i can do it then anyone can.

Heres a few links:

Have you considered using an odb1 to obd2 jumper harness to run an obd1 ECU without immobilzer? These jumper harmesses usually go for about 60-80USD and will allow you to run your obd2 setup on a much more user friendly obd1 computer.

I have just picked up a 1999 civic wiring harness for my vtec swap and will be using a jumper as well. Honda-tech.com is a great place for engine swap info. Good luck with yours! :)
