    if the a24a is from a car that has a different mount design, such as an EG or EK, then it will not work without custom mounts.


    if it were my car, i would just put my original tranny on the new motor.

    In so few words. Search user wago_dan he's the only one I know that has done this. But can't remember if it was in his build thread, or another thread where he talked about it. Just search his posts...

    I spoke with boomslang today, and they said they don't make a conversion harness for an auto? wtf.... i'm ready to buy everything but just don't what to buy, well at least i know now to get the p28 for auto!! i have the obd1 engine harness, just need the ecu conversion harness and resistor box ( which one)?

    Boom slang said it depends what auto trans i use? please help someone.

    I think Sharb is hinting at something, What is it boy? Timmy fell down the well? :lol:

    I did search for wago dans and i also chatted with him on pm, but this was a while ago when i wasn't ready, now he's in japan, and he doesn't mention what trans he used......Help dammit or just give me a dam link!! forum's have become no help the only help you get is SEARCH
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Ease up, man, we just don't know.
    Nobody I know has kept an auto. As Charb said, dan comes to mind. Your questions have been answered, I think:

    Use the p28 ECU for your OBD1 sOHC VTEC.

    Keep the OE trans.

    I don't want to belittle the tech knowledge on here, but maybe ask on dseries.org or hondaswap? Or find a 5speed!

    Thanks for your honesty, that's worth alot.
  • wago_danwago_dan Wagonist
    I did research, research and more research.
    Also in our pm's you did not mention that it was a zc...
    In all honesty all I did was take basic wiring theory, pinouts of the p28 and stock ecu and connected the dots. It was very easy. Everything I had hard copy is in storage somewhere. Wish I could be of more help, but even the wagon is state side.

    Please do post what you find and how you fix it. Add to the knowledge base, and next time we get this question we can point to your car.

    Good luck!

    Really your leaving our "Comfy" area of knowledge so I agree with sharing the knowledge as you go so we can learn a little. I was debating building an auto but haven't had a chance yet.
  • BoricuaBoricua Band Wagon
    ok everything is a go except for the trans part, i kept the oe trans which is obdo, but i'm running the p28 ecu and it doesn't shift...... so how and in the heck does a obd1 ecu control and obdo transmission.... im about to go insane HELP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
