i am aware of the harness on the ecu.

but that does not alter the fact that there is a lot of rewiring to be done on the engine harness.

i ahve done multiple mixed obd swaps as well as several auto to 5 spd conversions.

the obd conversion process is always a pain in the ass even knowing exactly what needs to be done. alaso dont forget about wiring in the injector resistor box (thats always fun to try and explain how to accomplish to a first time swapper).

since the car is not yet purchase or obtained, i am suggesting an easier alternative than spending the extra money to get parts into a more valuable car.

overall it would be easier, cheaper and faser to go find a 95 5 spd accord....the car is cheaper since its older, but there are still a lot of great looking ones out there, the car will already be 5 spd and obd1. for a first time hybrid swap manual to auto AND obd2 to obd1 is a LOT to bite off.
