[bratch_vti]

hey guys, dnt know if this is the right place 2post this thread but here goes

just looking for a bit of info, i have a 1999 civic 1.6 b16a2 and was looking too fit yamaha r1 carbs to it, just wanting to know if anyone would know where i could get a wiring kit to run into my ecu to run the carbs and get them set up

any info would be great thanks

Ok I'm a bit confused, are your running individual carberuaters or are you runnig ITB's (individual throtle bodies)?

Carbs aren't run by a computer, so no.

I believe the R1 is fuel injected though.

this is a link to a set a was looking at for my civic, will need modifying but that can be done

Individual throttle bodies is one thing, switching a fuel injected engine to carbs is a whole other story.

You're going to need to trick the ecu into thinking all the fuel injected stuff is not only still there, but working, despite it being neither of those things.

PS> I don't think those would be big enough to work but that's beside the fact. Need something from at least a liter bike if you have any hopes of making your b16 actually run.

would it be easier to use ITB's then?
would i have to change my ecu to run this and wot about sensors and stuff?
will i run my standard injecrors or run the bike injectors?
sori for all the questions but im just a bit confused
thanks again

ITBs will be easier to hook up... get some honda 929rr or simular ITBs off a newer honda bike... they are the easiest to wire up.

if you get the 929 ones, the bike injectors flow the same CC as the car injectors, so you could use either.

dont get me wrong though.... they arent exactly "easy" to just make and toss on. they require tuning, wiring and fabrication to get them to work right.
