96 Civic Hatch DX swapping to b17, need wiring info
Hi. I was hoping I can get pointed in the right direction. I am swapping a b17 into my 96 hatch, and I need some help. I already have the mechanical parts squared away (mounts, ECU and jumper harness, axles, shift linkage) and whatever else parts I need. All I need help with is how to wire and what to extend to make it work with my wiring harness from the civic. Anyone know or remember that hybrid website from back in the day?? Or is there another website with the same info?? Thanks everyone.
Would also help to know what OBD you are planning on running and what ECU. There are several different routes to the swap you are doing and I need more info 
edit: I had forgotten that the b17a was OBD-1 if I remember correctly. If so than it is a really straight forward swap. Your stock harness will plug into the proper corrosponding locations. You will need to pin out the wires for VTEC from the ecu harness to the engine bay, but thats a no brainer.
