I'm swapping a JDM B18C into my 96 hatch.

I found out i can use the 96-98 DX/CX/LX harness, then wire the VTEC, Knock Sensor, and IAB.

Or i could use the EX harness and only have to wire the IAB.

But what about the HX harness? Anyone got any clues on what needs to be wired to use that harness?

Get your hands on a EX wiring harness. I did the same damn thing but like and idiot now I have to swap the engine harne with the engine in the car. I left the engine harness of the JDM B18C. Ill be doing the swap of harnesses in like 2 weeks.

hx harness will work as well.

I know the HX has VTEC, so that means i shoudn't have to worry about wiring it up. Are the EX and HX the same wiring harness because of the e-vtec? I heard there is more O2 sensors on the HX. Will this cause problems during my swap?

I bounced the product numbers on hondaautomotiveparts.com and the HX and EX have different numbers.

HX: 20394
EX: 20395
DX,CX: 20388

Any info on the differences between the EX and HX harness?

the harnesses are differant because the hx uses a 5wire o2. you cant use the 5wire harness, but you can run your own o2 wires. honestly an ex harness is the best idea unless you have an HX harness sitting there.
