h22 swap into 96 Del Sol questions

[Robert Adams]

Hi Guys,

I have a 1996 Del Sol Si and I’ve decided that I want to go h2b. I’ve never swapped a car before but am confident/determined, and it’s not a daily driver or anything like that so it can take months to complete if need be. On to the questions:

1. I want to make the swap as painless as possible, so is getting an obd2 engine and using the stock prelude ecu the best way to go? I’m never going to modify the engine past a few bolt on’s so I’m not worried about the fact that obd2 is harder to tune
2. If i were to go obd1, is a jumper harness and a custom engine harness from rywire really that easy, as in buy both, plug in and drive away?

any suggestions appreciated! (except “go b series, it’s easier)

there are several ways to do this from OBD 1 or a chipped ECU but you are looking at A LOT of modification to the car to make thins work correctly, custom mount kit, wiring harness ETC. Not usually the first swap for someone who has not done it before. Might help to have a friend that has done this before.
