VX engine swap

[maxxgraphix]

I'm getting closer to completing my swap. I have a 95 VX and a JDM D15B1 Vtech. It has a 1 wire O2.
I need to know how to wire the O2 and V-Tech to the P08 ECU.
It seems I'm missing a little of the harness. I have a section of the V-Tech connectors, but the other end has been cut off. There is an extra 5 wire plug from the chasis. Could this be it?

Schematics? Does Hanyes have em?

I'm swapping in a D15B1 into a 95VX. It has the single wire O2 and 1 stage V-Tech. I'm using the P08 ECU. Everything should hook right up, just about.
My problem is that some of the V-Tech wires are gone. I have the section for the solenoids, but where does this connect into the chasis wires? There is a 5 wire plug left over. Could this be the V-Tech?

its vtec not v-tech, and jdm engines dont have a number at the end, if it was jdm it would simply be a d15b, b16a, b18c, etc.

On that same note, the D15B1 is a USDM, non-VTEC engine, and a pretty craptastic one at that. It's the same engine as the dual-point injected D15B2 found in '88-91 Civic DX, LX, ect., but with an even milder cam, a restrictor plate, a reduced redline and a close-coupled catalyst. It can be found in the '88-91 Civic STD hatchback spitting out a whopping 70 hp.

OK, sorry, it's NOT a D15B1, just a D15B VTEC. Not sure where I got the "1".

I found a wiring diagram for VTEC, seems you only need 3 wires.
Blk is ground from the oil switch.
Blue - Oil switch to ECU
Orange - VTEC Solenoid to ECU

Should match up with the VX harness right?

Now I have to find which wire of 5 O2 for a single wire O2.

I don't think you want to convert to a single wire though, I believe that is only for the obd0 Hondas. You want to convert to the traditional obd1 4-wire o2 sensor I believe.

The '92-95 Civic CX uses a 1-wire O2 IIRC. But yeah, OBD-1 setups generally use 4 wire sensors.

[maxxgraphix]

A 1 wire O2 produces a voltage signal to the ECU. This is the way they all work anyway. If it has 4 wires, that's just a heater circuit to bring the sensor up to temp faster. End result is the same. The 5 wire has an additional sensor for lean burn that would be out of range of the traditional O2.

This D15B is a 1 wire O2. I'm not sure if a P08 ECU would even use the 4 wire. I'd be wasting my $.

THe JDM d15b vtec uses a 1 wire o2 sensor in conjuction with the P08 ecu. YOu can use a 4 wire 02 sensor but the other 3 wires are useless. The USDM p28 needs a 4 wire 02.

[GasSavers_TomO]

And just as a side note, a four wire O2 will heat up faster and allow the engine to obtain better FE. There are kits out there to run the heater portion of the 4 wire O2 if you don't want to run the Chipped P28 ECU.
