The secondary 02 is in the cabin harness that runs to the catalytic location under the car. However if he was using an OBD1 ECU it won't look for one and generally you can leave it in the same place as long as the header lines up to the stock exhaust.

Why would he need to extend it, when his ex model already has the o2 in the cat converter?

Primary O2 needs to be extended. Not secondary.

OP....take it to a shop if you're uncomfortable with wiring.

For it to run, you'll need to rewire the distributor or get a distributor jumper. You'll also need to lengthen the primary O2 wires. The rest plugs in. You don't re-pin sandwich harnesses. The whole point of them is to be plug and play. But.....they're very fragile. So don't yank on the wires.

Youll need an OBD2A to OBD2B ECU adapter

That looks like the CKF, you'll have to bypass it.

If you can get the color code of those wires from each plug, but the 3 pin wire near the alternator could be the crank sensor plug, the 2 pin looks like the oil pressure sensor plug for the vtec solenoid, but since jdm motors don't have that and only have the vtec solenoid you might need to ground it.

Ok had the plug next to the cap is. Colored black / blue with black ?



N yes the plug under the manifold is for the crank sensor. So do I just clip it off and hide it.

Also do I do the ckf bypass on my ex harness?
I'm ordering a jumper on Monday hope there's a sale lol
Or do I do it on the jumper cuz I am running it into a 99-00 si ecu.
I kno I still need to tap splice my wires to make my o2 that goes to the catalytic converter.
I my question is I'm doing all this tapping n splicing on my ex harness correct???
N just plug that into the jumper. Then to the ecu ???

Thanks guys.

Yes bypass the CKF
.:FFS TechNet : CKF Bypass Trick :.

Pressure switch bypass, tap b12 with c10 On your jumper side harness


Wire up secondary 02
.:FFS TechNet:. » ECU & WIRING » OBD2 2nd 02 Sensor Wiring

Then use your ECU jumper

Your ex model should already have the secondary o2 sensor there, that is why I keep telling you its not needed. As someone stated you might be confusing the primary o2 as the secondary o2, that needs to be extended behind the engine.

For any b-series the primary sits behind the engine, for the D-series the primary sits in front of the engine.

Yeah you'll basically plug your harness into the adapter and then plug that into the si ECU
