Is it just sitting there in the engine bay now? Is it that you're needing the next steps? GSR into 92-00 - https://honda-tech.com/forums/hybrid-engine-swaps-18/definitive-guide-gsr-eg-swap-2976738/ http://web.archive.org/web/201102210...cswap/swap.php

It's much easier to use the harness for the gsr.. then you aren't running into issues with the distributor, injectors, or alternator... you can always use your z6 harness to make it mostly plug and play, but you'll still have knock sensor, secondary o2 sensor, alternator distributor wiring, and vtec to worry about (basically everything that's different between obd1 and obd2)

I thought you were supposed to use the harness for the car and that Integra harnesses were two piece and Civics were one. Mind you, I'm not a swap expert so this may be all wrong.

You can use the civic harness... some plugs may be on the body harness but all connectors minus obd2 components would be there... but like I said to use the z6 harness youd either have to hard wire the dizzy (schematics are every where) or build a jumper harness, use an obd2 alternator plug, worry about wiring the secondary o2 sensor for obd2...I always keep as much obd1 as possible for my eg (b16a2 swap) the main thing to remember is if you are converting an obd2 motor to run with obd 1 settings use obd1 injectors... there's a lot to it and if you have any questions just PM me

Use the harness and everything on the motor/tranny that comes with the GSR motor, whether it's OBD1 or OBD2. You HAVE TO get a Del Sol DOHC VTEC shift linkage. No other types will work correctly. Integras and Civic (d-series) WILL NOT WORK. Run a P72 or chipped P28 ecu and make sure to run your VTEC wires from engine <---> ecu.

Just re read... with the del sol si, he had a z6 so he should be good on vtec wiring...
