OBD1 OEM ECU connectors

Post by hondaNickx »

Ok so i found out what connectors honda uses ,and i found several ecu connectors too with pins and everything.So i decided to give it a try and i ordered a few to see if they would fit.OBD1 uses 22 ,26 and 16 pin connectors .Today the connectors arrived...

OEM ECU connectors with pins that have pre tin on them.

Test fitting on my Obd1 ecu

Result 2 connectors fit ,the 26pin connector is a little to wide and doesn't fit.

I'm going to look around again and see if they have a different style 26pins connector.They also sell Ecu Female connectors so you actually could make a conversion harness.
This will be very helpfull for people doing there own OBD1 conversion or making custom conversion harnesses.
I'll keep you guys updated on this if i found a complete set that fits .
I'm going to redo my D14 engine wire harness with these connectors cause it's a more solid connection and oem ofcourse.

Ps: Honda Connectors are made by Amp, a division of Tyco Electronics. The connectors are called Multilock Hybrid 040/070 and are available in multiple configurations.

In the meanwhile i have found the right 26 pin connector .I'm going to get me a complete set before giving this website away.Cause everything will be sold out maybe and i end up having nothing.So i will give it out don't worry ,i'm not even sure the new 26pin connector will fit ,so be patient... ;) The 3 connectors and all the pins cost $14.80 ,shipping to Belgium was like $25 lol :lol: Ow yeah i also found a Connector Cap for these connectors (basicly an Ecu inside cap).The D14 pre facelift uses a 22 and 26 pins connector and those caps were sold out a while ago but today they are back in stock so i'm going to order some of those too.This would be great to make a conversion harness for a Pre facelift D14 8-)

Very good research Nick!

I once contacted sales points of Tyco or whatever it was called a few years ago. Unfortunately I ended up getting salesmen on the phone which only wanted to sell bulk amounts... this is way better!

Anybody interested in producing harnesses? Doing this commercially requires a lot of time to construct the bastards. I once tried doing junkyard harnesses, made a few dozen, but getting a descent price for the hours of work in it is difficult...

damn that site is like a heaven for the do-it-yourself-harness makers.

i bought 2 ecu's p3x and p06 for 30 euro's
and with an angle grinder i have grinded the connector out of the p3x ecu (little rude, but effective:P)

but is it smarter to buy al the connector's (included the p3x inside ecu connector) and pins and fix it the "professional" way?

or can i just cut of the wires and connectors of an old engine harness and solder those wires to the p3x connector i have grinded out of the old ecu?
"some have dreams, mine is reality :P"
