AH!
So here is the unfortunate situation. Urgh!
I blew the motor in my 97 hatch about 2 weeks ago and since that was my daily I have been trying frantically to get a motor ASAP! I didn't want the stock D series anymore so I decided to go with a relativley inexpensive LS motor B18B. Well I bought the motor but it is JDM B18B. I knew it was a JDM motor when I purchased it but didn't thik there would be to much of a problem.
I read up a little bit about swaping this JDM B18B into my hatch. I know I can convert my car to OBD1; thats not a problem.
The problem is that since it is a JDM motor and will be going into my USDM hatch, I have learned that the harness might not reach. Are the plugs the same shape to where they will just plug into each other regaurdless of the required wiring?
HOW can I get around this. Are there any parts that would help me out? What is the usual procedure with swaping a jdm motor into a usdm car??? I should know this. I have swapped many usdm motors before but never a JDM one....I don't have my motor yet (it is still on its way here)
so I don't know exactly what the harness looks like.
I need to get this motor swapped ASAP. I serched through some things for a good amount of time and could not find exactly what I was looking for.
I work 3 jobs and am having to drive my parents 5 series around too and from work everyday (which they hate) and I need my hatch back!!!
Please help!
I am really hoping I didn't screw myself over.
All input is very much appreciated!
Thank you so much in advance!
(I will continue searching in the mean time)
