What are the differences between the two. and if i have an obd 2 car and motor. what all do i need to do to get it to perform as an obd1 or does it even matter???

also for a freind, he has an obd2 car and an obd1 motor. how would he get it to hook up and run on his car???

 

OBD, or On Board Diagnostics, is a system that monitors the car's sensors to detect when there may be a possible malfunction. It's good if you have a stock engine and tells you when your engine isn't running right. That said, when you start modifyng engine components with the aim of making more power, the OBD system may not take kindly to some things, and will light up that nice check engine light that we all love so much. OBD II is a more stringent version of OBD, and monitors more sensors and has more control over the engine than OBD-I does. The performance-minded induvidual prefers OBD-I or non-OBD because they leave more options for tuning. If your car is OBD-II, and you want to run OBD-I, you can get a conversion harness that will let you run an OBD-I ECM, and you won't have the additional constraints of an OBD-II ECM. If your car is OBD-II and you have an OBD-I engine, you need to convert to an OBD-I ECM. Or, you can convert the engine to OBD-II(emissions equipment, etc) and run an OBD-II ECM.

 

you are a big big piece of SH#T ~!~!~! you really know alot of thingSs ~!~! and it hate it cos i don't understand and jealous of your technical knowledge :fawk: better tell me how or where you learn them ~!~!~!~! you big piece of holy Sh#t :slap: :bigok: :bowdown: :beer: :beer: :beer: Tell me pleAsE ~!~! i wanna be as knowledgable as you all

 

what ever you do....dont put an OBD1 motor in your car..its a pain in the ass...and not worth the effort...just get a Skunk2 conversion harness that just converts the harness at the ECU...much easier..and you can have use of an OBD1 ecu...

 

Thank you kindly, for all your help guys.
