engine wire harness help
I have a 96 civic with a jdm b16 second gen...
the wire harness was messed up so I bought a z6 engine wire harness cuz I was told it would work...
but I went to plug it up to the shock tower connectors and they don't match at all...
will this harness even work?? the car is obd2 and the engine wire harness is obd1

Have to use the harness that came in the 96-98 Civic either for the Y7 or Y8. Either harness will require some modification but the Y8 harness will require the least. 92-95 aren't compatible at all. Which ECU will you be using?

Re: engine wire harness help
OK then get a 96-98 EX harness. Most will plug and play. Check here for the additional wiring:
