96-98 civic ecu wiring for 3 wire to 2 wire conversion.
Texas Honda Channel I’m doing this exact swap and needed to know do I use my auto Ecu or to I get an manual one. Also can I get a parts list that’s exactly needed for this?
@@delontachristian8125 I know you asked James, but I looked into doing the same thing and from what I can find is you can do it with OBD1 ECUs by removing 2 resistors but not OBD2. There are tons of manual ECUs on Ebay, I picked one up last week and hope to do the swap myself real soon
Texas Honda Channel Hey !! I did the same exact swap and for some reason my car won’t start. My manual starter was tested 100% good, and I just don’t know why my car won’t start. The battery is also good. Do you know any reason of why my car would not Start/crank up ?
@@anthonydavisjr9385 did you put the ground wire on you gearbox an grounded it on you chassis
Hey Texas Honda channel did U use the automatic t bracket? U didn’t swap it in the video
When he said I'm always out here by myself with no one to help I felt that..
I did an entire swap. by my self... took me 1.5 years
U done to help me bro ?
@@KeepinItReal890 😳😳😳
@@KeepinItReal890 how much did it all come out to? $$$
I did my swap by myself except for some help here and there from one or two people. It’s taken me 2 2-1/2 months to get it to where I’m at now. Just gotta finish wiring.
I can officially say I did it. 98 hatch dx, kept the oem ecu and iacv, car runs, shifts, and idles perfectly. Thanks a lot🤘
that’s crazy man, good job 🎉 how long did it take you and how much experience did you have?
hey for the wiring with the old automatic shifter the two thicker wires do you just run them together then tape them off?
and did you do anything with the wires and plugs on the clutch pedal?
This is a LONG video and i will watch EVERY minute of it. Very informative so far and detailed AF. Great job as always!
Thank you for the support as always!
@Corey D.f s 9
This deserves waayyyyyyyyy more views man, you're direct, concise, and very informative without alot of crappy filler or stupid loud music.
Great video
Absolutely agree! Could not have said it better!
This is one of the most detailed videos I've ever seen for car content on TH-cam bro, thanks and God bless you for your dedication
Thank you for making this video ! I’ll be doing this later on.
No problem! It was a lot of work to put together, It know its longer but i squeezed 8 hours of content into 37 mins
Alot of other TH-camrs would just do it the easy way not you you do it for the people like us cheers to you ✌️✌️
Phantom The Phantom I love my subscribers and I want them to enjoy my content even if I gotta go the long route to do it.
On a serious not everyone hating on Honda’s and there owners but they be actually working in there own shit swapping and building motors .alot of respect for this guy
don’t know how many times i came back to look at this video to finish my swap thank you for the guide
what dedication. He broke his phone because of the video, but continues going. what a guy
O I’m doin it this week don’t care how cold it is soo tired of letting the car do all the work thanks for the video
How did it go?
I’ve been watching videos and working on Hondas for years …n this is most certainly the most descriptive auto to manual info ever for this chassis
This video is a Year old and it’s still helping us out. I’m a Mustang Foxbody guy but need a good daily driver that’s good on gas so I bought a 98 Honda Civic with the D16y8 and a auto.
Was wanting to do a B series swap but seen a video on the turbo D16 and now leaning towards this with a 5spd.
Guy makes it look easy. Lol it took me like 4 hours to have my manual trans out and about 5 or 6 hours getting my new manual trans in with un doing everything and replacing it back into it
I forgot to leave a comment thanking you!
I did it last year and this vid was INVALUABLE to guide me through it. Many hours spent scrubbing through this video trying to pick up tips and tricks on how to do it while I was in the middle of it.
Dont think I coulda done it without ya man so thank you so much, the car is a blast to drive now!
If only you didn't live all the way in Texas, I'd be more than happy to help out. I want to start making videos on my cars, but man filming the video, editing the video, and doing the work by yourself is no joke. You're inspiring! Keep up your endless efforts brother! Respect
Xenoflexor Pro Thanks I appreciate it. It is a lot more work than most people realize it is but some people do know the efforts I go through and you seem to be one of them. 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video, very informative.
I've only driven classic cars 1974 and under now I have gotten an addiction to late 90s hondas.....they're fun little go karts
No problem. They really are like gokarts lol
I am getting ready to do a auto to manual. This was very very helpful
Man. I know this video is a bit old but you saved me with the wiring bit around 25 minutes.
Bought someone else’s unfinished project. Originally a 97 ek coupe ex auto. When i purchased it has a b series manual, jdm h22a, and a couple ecu’s to choose from.
I got the car to turn on by jumping the starter manually, but couldnt figure out the ignition / clutch safety switches / etc.
You are awesome. Thank you! It fixed my ignition immediately!!!!!!
with the wiring on the actual clutch pedal do you have to do anything with those ?
The wires on my car on the clutch pedal were all cut and going nowhere. Hope that helps!
Just following his instructions made the car work like it should in my opinion
@@hellostirfry77 just to make sure, so you did not wire up the plugs on the clutch pedal you just left them going no where?
Nope, did not wire clutch plugs up
Just want to say thanks buddy I appreciate you. I’ve successfully done my manual swap because my of this video !!! Kudos to you 🙏🏽‼️
I followed this video step by step and got it done! Thanks
I want to do this for my 2000 auto hatch but I’m scared I’m going to mess it up
@@jaywtdasedan bro same but some guy is selling everything i need for 200$ so ima have to man up and do it😭
@@jaredmartinez4440 remember yt makes everything look so easy stg just make sure you do it right and pay attention ‼️
Picked up a automatic 98ek a couple months ago (d16y7). In the process of getting my head around everything I'll need to do a manual swap on it, and then picking up all the pieces little by little. Atm most I've done is doing a deep clean on the interior and putting some new wheels on it so I can enjoy it in the meantime while I pick up the parts. Thinking I'll pick up a second D series engine to put in so I can clean it up and do all the seals and head gasket while its out to make sure it is all good.
Really appreciate the video man. Considering to buy an automatic civic to swap and heavily considering it now. Keep up the good work
Kevin Gajraj Thanks I try to provide clear instructions and some times I leave things out but I try to interact with people just Incase they have a question
Just bought a 97 civic lx with a d series in it and I've already had to replace thermostat timing belt air filter and new head gasket, I wanna have fun with this car so I'm gonna manual swap it hoping that brings out a lil umph.
I was gonna pay someone to do it for me but after I watched you did it step by step man you made my whole year I’m gonna get everything I sent you get and do it thanks so much
All I got to say IS THANKKKKK YOUUUUU MY GAWDD THANK YOU I BEEN SEARCHING FOR HONDA VIDEOS FOR 3 days to figure out how to fix my car u gave me everything and almost everything I can think of to fix my car now 🫶🏽 just subscribed new to yo channel love to see more content 💯
I will be auto to manual swapping one of my next projects because its getting hard to find manual shells.
The auto cars are usually in better shape because they haven't been modded and beaten to death. I grabbed a 95 dx with 99,000 miles. Bone stock and literally old lady driven. Lol
Yes mine was auto and it was in mint shape. Did the swap and it was the best decision. Was tired of the auto tranny falling into false neutral alot!
New to project cars and this will be super valuable for when I have to do this
OMG thanks for this video I really appreciate it there's not videos out there that go through the steps as thoroughly as you did thank you so much
Thats way easier than I thought it was gonna a be. Thank you for the video! Going to buy an auto civic tomorrow to put my drive train in tomorrow!
Hey howd it go
@@Tyschnei a heard of pigs ran out in front of me doing 75 and totaled the car 2 weeks after I was done...
@@aaronsprojects9622 sorry for your loss man, quick question though as i cant figure this out. Did you need to buy the manual trans mounts ? I have all the trans brackets but plan to use auto mounts.
@Tyschnei I feel like I had to swap the mounts, but I can remember much. A lot of beer was drank, and a lot has gone on in my life since then. I wish I had an answer, but I would bet that you need the manual mounts. There are definitely a lot of sources on this topic though. A little bit of googling and I bet you find the answer.
@@aaronsprojects9622 tried google but info is conflicting, thanks anyway man. Wish you the best
22:42 had me rolling lol just casually talking about the shifter and "ooooh a quarter" lol nice work man!
Wow i just watched your whole video and u covered every lil detail man ... ive been looking at alot of videos but they did not show step by step like you did ... awesome video .. keep up the good work
I think I can do it to my 97 automatic civic, I have a donor car for all the parts I need.thanks brother you really inspire me to do it.
Let me know how it goes
Hey just dropping by to say thanks for the detailed video and links i was able to complete my swap today!!
Man I been waiting for this to drop on the channel great work I bet the civic is funny to drive now I can't wait to see the finished product
Jonathan tube I miss having a manual civic I much prefer them. Also it’s coming along but I can’t wait till I’m finished as well!
Just began doing this very swap on my sons '00 Civic Hatch. Absolutely the best video I've found. Thank you.🙏👊
Bro love your channel! I’ll move to Texas just to see how you do things live
I don't even have a civic and I watched the whole thing
I'm so glad there is informational videos like this. Your a blessing bro! I have a d16y8 auto that is horrible on take off. I found a d16y8 manual at the salvage that has everything to get it done but the ecu. I'm sure you need a d16y8 5 speed vtec ecu right? Or is there a certain ecu you need?
SAVAGE WARRIORZZ I failed to mention the ecu aspect I’m terribly sorry. The manual ecu is a must. You have to do some wiring at the ecu Connector but it’s really easy. I actually did another video where I mentioned it in a update video. You can google image search 96-98 auto to manual ecu wiring or 99-00 auto to manual ecu wiring and they have pictures of how to do it.
@@TexasHondaChannel Thank you so much dang I'm sorry about the hour! Just got off work! I'm right over here in oklahoma lol. I like your channel you do amazing work! I really so appreciate it thank you so much.
Love the detail in this video bro, awesome coverage, just wish you would have built the D15B7 instead of the D16. Super underdog status that would have been. Funny @ 22:43 I saw the quarter and said the same thing at the exact same time you did. 😂
Too bad you don't get paid enough to do this full time. I know I'd do it.
Tony Ventura I’m only 1000 hours away from getting monetized on this channel. Once that happens I will be making money on this channel and my other one
@@TexasHondaChannel 1000 hrs of footage time? That's good then. Are you going to do a mini me swap? That would be nice to see in full detail.
Tony Ventura I didn’t record the mini me swap. I just got it done like 30 mins ago. I actually thought about recording it but didn’t wanna do another video. I’m tired af
@@TexasHondaChannel I believe you, doing the removal and installation by yourself takes more energy than people think, especially when it's all in your driveway.
Thanks for sharing! Really glad to see that the swap is a direct bolt in for the 6th gen unlike the 5th gen. I just bought a super clean 1997 Civic for really cheap because it needs a head gasket and has 353,000 miles. I'm definitely going to swap it to a 5 speed when the auto dies or possibly sooner. What a shame modern cars don't last like these!
just got an auto 4 door ‘00 civic def gonna use this ‼️
This video is a really good reference just make sure when you go to delete the auto shifter guard under the car that you drill the welds and grind it off all around it otherwise you’ll be fighting to get it off
@@noahbell7297 yeah fr, other than switching pedals that was the most annoying part of the swap trying to cut that shit out
Wow very clear explanations. Good work👍🏻
Bro tbh wish I seen your channel earlier
You’re so helpful men makes my jobs so Easier
Thank You
More Honda Civics video
Hey great video, can i ask do you need to change ecu as well?
Im hella glad i came across this video. Imma see is can do the plug to remove stuck key Good video Boss!
You’re a blessing for making this video. Thank you soooo much dude
Legend, thank you from Belfast Ireland
Man start following today was looking at the auto to manual conversion here where I’m at on texas isn’t that much information thanks!
You are doing awesome
Keep up the good vlogs
Joe’s Life Thanks will do!
You are awesome dude! More power to you! I've been looking for a detailed video on how to do the manual swap. Thank you so much!
5:56 he mutes the sound to no blow our ear drums out , thanks for looking out
BRO!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME and SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE!
God Bless You!!☝
hey there, I watched this whole video. I'm appreciative for the tutorial on if i was to do this myself on my 2000 civic lx. Right now i'm completely broke, i bought the car from someone who didn't tell my it was having transmission issues. i havent yet changed the transmission fluid filter. it hesitates shifting 3rd to 4th and also on a side not the gear shifter is hard to shift progressively and sometimes it feels almost normal then goes back to being too hard moving from park to reverse. all the gears work and its a decent car but i dont want it to suddenly crap out it would be a waste. so theres almost 200k on it now. i think swapping it to manual would be far better instead of just getting another automatic transmission for it...
Thank you for making such a clear video.
No problem. I did forget to mention the ecu wiring but they have decent write ups if you type "96 civic auto to manual ecu wiring" Or whatever year your car is.
@@TexasHondaChannel yeah I saw you talk about it in another video and sweet thanks
Man, you're an absolute fucking legend. Thank you so much for this. I'll be watching this many times as I plan my swap.
Love your work bro. Piece of advice, remove your rings while working.
Great video man thank you! Quick question tho why do you have to run a manual air idle control valve couldn’t you just use the auto intake with the air idle control on the throttle body?
Thanks for this video, I use it for reference for my 1998 Honda Civic project and helps me a lot. Thank you
@Texas Honda Channel dude this video is excellent. I’ve thought of doing an auto to stick swap on my EK but wouldn’t even know how to begin doing so. After watching this video I would def take the task on myself though I’m lazy and would rather pay someone else to do the work lol. Excellent video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How much would u charge to do the swap? And I can help... What part of TX your from?
I subbed .... Came over from your other channel ... great job
maldo72 Thanks! Welcome!
Bro! This video was amazing! I’m new to the car life lol. I just got a 99 Honda Civic DX hatchback. I want to do a swap as well. Is there anyway you could put up a list of all the parts you needed? I know you went over everything and the video was very detailed. I just want to make sure I have all I need before I even attempt this lol
Watch the video and make the list
Read fool
wow your video is literally the most detailed and most easiest one to follow instructions i definitely subbed and liked your video,also i have a 96 hatch dx is there anything different or specific i need to get for my model?
Glad I found you vid, I will tackle this exact same project here soon. Thank you very much. SUBSCRIBED!
I like the informative video, I'm doing a swap myself and when I've put the MT in, I dont know what to do with the old coolant lines that the auto had. So should I just cut them and put a stopper?
I just let them be open or just loop them.
That's what I did I just looped them.
What’s up, this video was very informative. I have a 93” 4.0L 6 inline grand cherokee that I got for free that’s an automatic trans. So basically to do a swap i just gotta drop the auto trans and replace with the manual trans? Plus everything else going on in the video
Deedra Fabella As for anything other than a Honda I have no idea but the same concept should apply to anything. As long as the holes are for the manual parts are there it should work.
I'm watching this before doing a 97 prelude. Assuming its the same basic steps similar sort of parts etc. mainly so I have something to base off how difficult/easy it is
I’ve seen a prelude swap guide before too
Not trying to be sarcastic or anything, just letting you know.
I was going to ask when you install the clutch pedal what wire do you need to plug with the clutch pedal and also what was the size for copper line to run the line for slave cylinder and how big of the dimmer does it has to be able for the fluid to pass through?
So informational and helpful for my swap thanks for this sick video 🔥🔥🔥
Bro excellent video mad props
Mitchell Savage thank you
how did you make it to not have a check engine light on?
Ok so I have everything put back together. Everything is d16y8. I wired the iacv and the reverse lights. But I thought it could start even if I have auto ecu? And one more thing the wire connections to the shifting solenoids are empty now.
SAVAGE WARRIORZZ there is no shift solenoids on a manual transmission. You shift it with the shifter and you can run it on the auto ecu I was but it didn’t run the best. I left a few things out I’m sorry about that I just had to edit 3 videos on this day and I have no help with these it’s just me doing all the recording editing and work so I get a bit overwhelmed some times.
@@TexasHondaChannel I'm learning from your channel. Yeah I hooked and put everything back together but when I turn the key to start it wont click over. I was maybe thinking the starter? I pulled everything from the salvage yard. And my d4 on my gauge cluster keeps blinking. You have a email where I can reach you? Your a huge help to me.
Did you jump the park/neutral saggy switch when you pulled the shifter? If it’s unhooked it won’t crank and usually when d4 flashes it means it detects a tranny issue
Do you happen to have a video on how to do the wiring for the clutch pedal that's all I'm needing to finish my build thanks by the way for this video it was very helpful I'm hoping to finish her by tomorrow for my birthday
Matthw Dehoyos You can run the 2 wires from the clutch pedal to the 2 big wires at that connector in the center console area. It don’t matter which wire goes to which as long as both of them are connected to them 2 wires. Hope that helps
@@TexasHondaChannel the clutch pedal has 4 wires coming out of it do you have to connect the pink and black ones as well or just the blue and black ones
"I never have any help I'm always out here alone" 😔then in the next screen when it's driving you have a passenger 😔 typical lol thanks a million man. I legit screen shot and wrote notes for ever step of this process lmao
Thx for the vid. Did you have to change the ecu?
Hey brotha, This video was invaluable to me when I did my swap, but what did you do about the gaping hole where the shifter is? The manual boot (not shifter boot, but a dust/debris boot that goes on the tunnel. ) will not fit over the hole lol.
Hey, great video!
I have a question just like everyone else..
98 honda hatch, d16y7 that I'm swapping to a manual and also swapping the intake. Does the the iacv 3 to 2 wire prevent me from having to block of the IACV? Also can I still use the y8 TB? Ive been all over google for weeks.
Thanks for any input!
I like when you were installing the "bitch pin" and said ok you're gonna just get it started a little bit...then it cuts out then BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!! HAHAHA
I did everything you did , but i didn’t get the manual intake manifold , tried turning it on and it just cranked and it didn’t turn on.. :/ is it because I need the manual manifold? Or could it be a different issue?
Hey did you figure it out?
@@brandonnunez5170 yes
@@B20_zo what was the problem?
Hey man, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. Any input on cruise control functionality?
So I followed these instructions to the letter in my D16Y7 civic hatch, and now the car won't start. I don't have my reverse lights wired in but I ran the two thicker wires together as well as the two wires to have my key come out. I didn't do the AICV stuff because I'm just trying to get the car running. I also have a manual ecu, can you help me? The car gets power.
@Y Lorenzo it was a ground issue, make sure your grounds are clean
Great video , is it the same procedure for a 94 civic , it has the D15B7 auto , which is the best manual tranny that fits to that engine ? Thanks hope you can help !!
Im gona do one this year ... cant wait.
Super excite tomorrow i can finnaly do the swap all thanks to you man
Been waiting for this 🤘🏽
Nacho Hope it’s informative enough
On point man 👌
Thanks Buddy - I like your work... have a project from auto to manual conversion
Great video bro going to make a couple videos of me swapping mine
Damn son I used to live in Copperas Cove Texas, I'd recognize my hooning street anywhere 😎. Could've used your help with my 99' Ek coupe lmao. Badass civic build though, I appreciate the video.
Great video.
I need to send that thing out to you next week. Ill just link you to the video I found on the install. This car is coming along nicely. There are a couple things that didn't come with it. That you may need as well, but they are only $5 the downside is the only place I found them by themselves ships from china. I can link you to them as well.
sinformant For sure 😎 I will do a personal install video for you. I don’t wanna show EVERYONE how I hook it up. Then anyone could disarm it haha
@@TexasHondaChannel lol I think it may be more than you think it is😉 you could always do an install video and leave out steps lol
Great job. I'm currently doing a swap myself. Only difference is the auto tranny was a cvt type tranny. Can I use a regular manual tranny upper bracket or do I have to modify the bracket for it to work?.
great video bro, can i do this on a Ek 3 honda Civic ?
Like the video man 👍, At the moment, I've just finished doing a conversation myself with the help of your guide but for some reason, my civic is idling at like 100 rpm. I'm just wondering what might be the cause. I made sure to properly convert the 3 point wire to a 2 and have it connected to the iac valve. What might be other thing to look out for, for the idle issue I might be having?
Yonatan Cervantes Maybe see if your 2 wires are backwards on the air idle control valve. There is another step I failed to mention in the video but if you go to google and type in the search “96-00 civic auto to manual swap wiring ” click on the images and find the images of the ecu connector and verify you did that stuff. Sorry I failed to put that info in there :/
Where was this when I needed it!? 😂😂 I damn near lost my mind.
love the channel, just added the subscription... any experience with nissan sr20 de auto to manual swap? Its a 2000 infiniti g20 with the touring package cuz i believe it makes a difference if its a T... any info would be appreciated.
I’ve been looking online for about an hour now. @ 17:40 the t bracket looks off? I’m sure the transmission is supposed to go in between the space of the t bracket. I’m sure you need the Manual t-bracket because it looks very weird to me.
Much appreciated. Great informations and details 👍🏽
Nice job bro . I got one question pls .
Did you change ecu or u running with the stock automatic ecu??;
reading and says auto ecu works
