Default 92-95 b16 swap

I am swapping in a b16a2 engine into a 92-95 civic ex. I dont have the ex harness.
I have a jdm b16 (obd1) harness. I want to connect my 0bd2 engine harness into my 0bd1 car. Thanks for the help!

leave the stock civic harness in the car. get yourself a P30 or chipped P28(to run B16). and an OBD1 B series dizzy. plug and play. the CKF will not be used though , which is fine. you dont need the OBD2 harness to do this swap. nor do you want the car to be OBD2 for that matter.

dont matter what harness you have , matters what ecu is on the other end of it. OBD1 is better than OBD2 yes. if your car works good itsfast , and you got no codes , and dont plan on going boost , than leave it as it is. dont fix it if it aint broken , lol.

i dont know if its fast.......how would i go about that? j/k

actaully i have seen videos of other obd b16 (jdm) and the vtec snaps hard or harder than mine. i think its because i have a p73 ecu rather than a p30

your running a B16A with a P73? lol. no wonder. your vtec prolly aint kicking in till 6000. i think its 6000 for ITR. in order to run a P30 youd need to convert to OBD1. im wondering after thinking for a sec , what ecu did delsol VTEC's run in 96-97? cause other than that , there is no 96-98 VTEC ecu for B16 USDM cars i dont think. goes right from OBD1 , to OBD2B?
