Nothing changes with the OBDI JDM P72. Just wire knock and the IAB's if you want them.

It would probably be a lot easier (and definately cheaper) to pick up a used '96 - '01 GS-R engine harness. It obviously plugs into the engine, but it also plugs into the civic harness at the shock tower plugs.

are you sure that an obd2 engine harness will plug on the obd1 tower harness?? I always thought they were different.

Yes

Nope

Note that this only works with a '92 - '95 civic and '94 - '95 integra. If you have anything else the '96 - '01 integra harness wont plug in. If you want some proof check out B18C5-EH2's hatch, '92 hatch, with an OBD2 ITR engine and harness.

well that's a good thing to know I wasn't saying anything about it, I was just saying that I thought they were different, but you learn something new everyday..

Nope, so long as you're using an OBD1 ECU.

Edit, forgot to add this so i'll add it now.

You will have at least one plug not plugged in, don't worry about. plug the purge solenoid plug into the IAB solenoid and move pin A20 to A17 at the ECU for functioning IABs (secondary butterflies)
