are you going to use the D16Y8 vtec head??
You won't need another harness, just wire up vtec and knock sensor(I believe the Y8 had a knock sensor)
Ah, you're swapping in the long block. Yes, everything will plug and play, you can run without vtec hooked up, you'll be throwing a code. I'm not sure of the OBD2 SOHC vtec ecu off hand...

Re: 98 ex motor in EK need help!!!!!! (zeroracerh)
there are a few subtle variations between the dx and ex
I believe the 96-98 are obd2 and the 99 and 00 are obd2.5
u should be able to just run your vtec wiring into the new ecu and add a few things like evap canister w/ plug etc

yep, get a EX ECU, same year as your car. 96-98 uses connectors A,B,D and 99-00 uses A,B,C. The only difference should be your harness is missing the 2 plugs for the VTEC unit.

Get an ex ecu!!! 
We have been telling you this stuff for a while now. What are you going to do about the APC coilovers and all of your suspension bushing you messed up by having your car soooo low. Not being a dick or anything I am just asking a question. How much did u get the motor for?

They were Sprint springs, I am NOT trying to be a dick, Its your car, I dont care what you do with it, and I DONT care if it is JDM or not as long as it works well than I am all for it. How many ex ecu's did you think there was in 98?

I have the ECU you need, its a P2P, I'll sell it for 100$.
Also a vtec solenoid is like 200$ from honda I think, and you can probably find one online for 50$
