Default Re: 97 wiring harness for b20 ?

First off is the B20B, is it USDM, what ECU, and if so does it come with a wiring harness?

If its a USDM B20B:
-use the engine harness it comes with and the B20B or OBD2 B18B USDM ECU
-wire up the secondary 02 to the ECU

If its a JDM B20B using a USDM ECU:
-use your engine harness with the following modifications - 3 to 2 wire IACV conversion, extend secondary 02, either convert your IAT plug to round style or place your factory IAT into your intake arm, bypass CKF (crank fluctuation sensor)

If its a JDM B20B using a JDM OBD2 ECU:
-use your engine harness with the following modifications - 3 to 2 wire IACV conversion, either convert your IAT plug to round style or place your factory IAT into your intake arm (this ECU will however not connect to an OBD2 emissions scanner if your state has those)

The forum has a FAQs sticky (see link in my signature). Read threads there to answer most of your questions.

Same as this If its a JDM B20B using a JDM OBD2 ECU:
-use your engine harness with the following modifications - 3 to 2 wire IACV conversion, either convert your IAT plug to round style or place your factory IAT into your intake arm (this ECU will however not connect to an OBD2 emissions scanner if your state has those)

Will plug and play as long as your distributor has the same connectors
