Well guys I just completed about half of my swap today. Ran into a couple of problems though.

First> the wonderful wiring harness is giving us a hard time. Its JDM and needs to be converted to LHD. Ok well as we are extending some of the connections we noticed another connector (round end...green/black) that just doesn't seem to plug in anywere. Everything needed in order for the engine to function is acounted for. Can anybody tell me what this might be?? :naughty:

Again my car is a 98 and we are modifying a 99 B16B wiring harness.

Second> my installer failed to notice the importance of a 99-00 sir or 94-00 crv mount. So like I explained to him at the start of this venture we will have to get one. Duh!!! Anyway if we have to order one from honda how much might the mount run me?Hopefully we will be able to pick one up at a junkyard but.....???

Any help one these matters will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Matt

Oh and I should have my pics up by the end of the week if all goes well.:thumbup:

 

Congrats dude.

Post a pic of that plug too.

I'm not sure how much that mount will be, but I assume $100+.

 

right on bro!! Thanks for the help I will grab a pic of the plug tomorrow for you. I hope you can help man cause we looked around for about an hour and couldn't come up with anything. Cool thats not too bad a price. Now I just have to play the waiting game

 

I hear ya. We will have the same plugs since we have Bseries motors so I should be able to find it if you have a pic of the plug in relation to the harness.

 

That is much appriciated my friend. This is why I love this sight. helpful people who have helpfull solutions! I just put the post up and I was actually waiting for you West to come on. I've only been waiting about 10 min and hear you are...lol

Sounds like a plan. I will have a pic for you tomorrow for sure. Don't think I can discribe it any better without.

 

ummm thats this site!!!!!

 

Use your ex wiring harness, i used a d series vtec harness on my swap. It was all just plug and play.

 

I aim to please.

I don't have any experience with using the civic harnesses because I had to go from OBD1 to OBD2 on the motor and I had a harness with the engine.

 

Well all things considered IMO its easier to use the new wiring harness if it comes in good condition. I would rather just reroute it and then connect right up rather then moding the connectors to fit the new ecu. Thanks though TXhatch

 

umm. you can use your stock ex engine harness and it will be ALL plug and play. your stock harness should plug into all the sensors on your b16b motor, except for the primary 02 sensor, which needs to be extended to reach under the motor. you dont need to mod any connectors on your ex harness to plug into the b16b
