d16z6 into EK chassis
I have a d16z6 into an EK Chassis but no wiring harness from any engine. Which harness do I use since I cannot use z6 harness? Can I get a new y8 harness and use it?

Re: d16z6 into EK chassis
List your year/make/model. I see you are in Germany so we really need to know what engine it is as well. You can use a Y8 harness (with some modifications) but what ECU will you be running?

Re: d16z6 into EK chassis
1994 del sol d16z6 with p28 ecu into 1999 civic ek. I found a 1999 d16y8 engine harness and bought obd1 adapter for ecu, injector and dizzy adapters. I hope this will work. It is hard for me to get parts here.

Here in Germany it is 700 euro for a new OEM y8 harness but I find online rywire harness for 634 USD including dizzy and injector adapters

Re: d16z6 into EK chassis
Here's some of the mods to the Y8 harness you'll have to make:
-intake air temp sensor will have to either be used in your intake arm somewhere or use and OBD1 plug and convert the Y8 plug to the OBD1 style
-alternator won't plug up. If you have the civics alternator use that otherwise you'll need to rewire the plug or use an adapter harness
-you'll have some left over plugs as well. Evap purge near the fuel rail, CKF sensor by the crank pulley, knock sensor on the back of the block. You can ignore these as the OBD1 ECU won't look for them.

Re: d16z6 into EK chassis
I'm doing this swap as well. I'm using a 96-98 ex obd2a wiring harness, obd2a alterntor because it plugs right up, as well as an obd2a distributor; changed the injector clips as well. I have the jumper harness from obd2a to obd1 (using the p28 ecu). Is there anything else I need to get or maybe I have missed?

Re: d16z6 into EK chassis
Can I just splice the wires or can anyone give me some pointers to fix the issue properly? I haven't started the swap yet because I wanted to get everything else together first.

Re: d16z6 into EK chassis
For reference I did this swap: 95 d16z6 into a 99 EK hatch. In my case since I had a y7 harness I used a obd1 jumper for a p28 ecu, used y8 injectors so no mod to harness, used y7 alternator so no plug mod, switched to a 2 wire iacv plug on harness which was the most complicated part (not hard at all). Used EK driver side mount as eg mount slight difference. Trimmed timing cover so it fit right for most part. Rest of it was all plug and play.
