Newly converted D15 EK to B16 problems.

[Gregconboy158]

Hi all, just converted a D15 EK to a B16 out of another EK. All went well apart from a few problems.

Firstly it hits the rev limit at something like 7,200, not the 8k it should be. Can anyone shed any light on why this could be? The EML light is on and also the ABS light is also. Unsure on why though.

Next the gearbox ratios seem stupidly short compared to the D15 gearbox? It will do 40mph in first up the the limiter (7,200) And then in 2nd hits the limiter at 55mph? How does that work? Surely something wrong with that. I've watched some video's on Youtube of EK's that are B16'd and they are a lot longer than this. Anyone know why this could be?

I got all the gear out of a running Civic (heard running, didn't drive it)
What I got was:
Engine
Gearbox
Driveshafts
ECU
Engine loom
Gearlinkages.

All of this was from the same car. I'm now wondering if I needed the interior loom out of the donor car? People have said I didn't but not sure now having these problems :/

If anyone could shed some light that would be great.

Cheers, Greg.

You do not need a dash loom from the donor car for ek swaps ,55MPH sound about right at 7200rpms ,At 8000rpm's in 2nd it should do around 60mph ,for the problem with the low rev limit I can not help you there ,i have never heard of that problem

Anyone else? It's got fault codes: 20 & 54. Not sure what these are.

Code 20 corresponds to ELD problem.

It seems to be a "ghost" error code you have with JDM ECU on EUDM cars or with chipped ECU if not disabled in the tuning software.

Is the donator JDM? Your ECU is chipped ?

ECU isn't chipped as far as i'm aware. It's a P2T ECU.
