you just plug your stock DX harness onto all the nice matching plugs on the b18c. You then pin the ecu harness with the four extra wires you need, run them through the firewall and solder them to the connectors you harvested off the JDM harness for all things VTEC and a Knock sensor. Throw the rest of the JDM harness away, or keep for spare plugs.
