Rywire USDM Prelude to OBD2 8-Pin Distributor Adapter - 1996+ Prelude Distributor Swap (Dis-Prelude-2-2-8pin)

Rywire Dis-Prelude-2-2-8pin converts the distributor and coil plugs of a 1996-and-later USDM Prelude distributor to match the 1996-2001 OBD2 8-position distributor plug. A jumper is included for converting from an external coil to the internal-coil distributor.

Why This Distributor Adapter for Your Honda Swap

The Rywire Dis-Prelude-2-2-8pin is a distributor adapter that converts the distributor and coil plugs of a 1996-and-later USDM Prelude distributor to the 1996-2001 OBD2 8-position plug.

• Versus cutting and splicing the factory plug: This Prelude distributor adapter plugs in between the factory distributor plug and the distributor, so the chassis harness stays uncut and the change is reversible.
• Versus hunting down a matching-era distributor: This Prelude distributor adapter lets you run the Prelude distributor instead of finding an 8-pin distributor to match the chassis harness.
• Coil and computer notes: This Prelude distributor adapter includes a fuse jumper for external-to-internal coil conversion. USA OBD2 computers can set a cam sensor code; Rywire recommends a Japanese-market or OBD1 computer.

Best for: A 1996-2001 Honda with the OBD2 8-position distributor plug running a 1996-and-later USDM Prelude distributor (not 1998-and-later Accords).

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Accord?

No. Rywire states it does not fit 1998-and-later Accords.

Will my computer set a code?

Some computers, mainly USA OBD2 units, can set a cam sensor code because the Prelude distributor uses a different trigger wheel. Rywire recommends a Japanese-market or OBD1 computer for this conversion.

I am going from an external coil to the internal-coil distributor. What do I do?

Use the supplied fuse jumper to bridge the two heavy-gauge wires on the external coil connector. Email service@tunedbyshawn.com with your engine, chassis and ECU before ordering if you are unsure which configuration you need.

Will a Prelude distributor work in my OBD2 Honda without a code?

The Rywire Prelude to OBD2 8-pin adapter plugs it in, but some computers, mainly USA OBD2 units, can set a cam sensor code. Rywire recommends a Japanese-market or OBD1 computer.
