Go to Phearable.net. You need to get an OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harness. I got one from there when I ordered a P28 chipped ECU. Their conversion harness's are good quality and if I recall it was like $75 and made it to me within a week.

No he doesn't need a jumper or conversion harness. You need t put your obd1 distriutor, injectors, wiring harness and alternator all put on your new motor. Its as simple as that.

So basically, pull old blown up motor, take alternator, distributor and injectors off of it. Put those items onto your new engine. Put new engine in car, hook everything up and drive it

Yes its as simple as that, why are you wondering about the distributor fitment, they are the same exact heads. Your obd1 motor was either stamped pr4 or p75, which is the same as the obd2 motors. Your distributor will bolt right up with no issues

Do you have a 93 LS or GSR? If its an LS the only wiring youll need to do is add vtec in. I wouldn't run a p28, they don't look for a knock sensor and they don't look for the secondary butterflies. Run an obd1 P72 (GSR ecu) or if you must run a p28 have it chipped to run like a stock GSR, xenocron and phearable.net both offer chipping services.

Even if he has the p28 chipped it wont operate the secondary butterflies. p72 is the only one that has the hardware to do it.

what about intake manifold...they seem different...because my 93 has the base map by the firewall and the 99 ls motor has it on the manifold..so i dont know which one to use if the obd 1 of the old motor or the manifold of the 99 ls motor.

You mean Map sensor? You can use either one and just leave the other unplugged. I would use the one on the firewall. There is a company called KMS that sells MAP sensor block off plates to go on the throttle body. You take you the Map sensor off, bolt the block off plate on and it looks alot cleaner.

And yeah you are right about the p28 not having the secondaries either.
