OBD1 gsr into 00 Civic EX
Sorry, swap noob here... turned a wrench before, but never done anything this big. I've read the FAQs and done some searching, but haven't seen anything that answers my specific questions.
I'm considering buying an OBD1 gsr swap for my 00 OBD2 Civic EX. It's coming with an OBD1 gsr ECU. Do I just need a jumper harness to plug the ECU into my stock wiring, or is there something more involved?
Comes with the engine harness, but I'm thinking for some reason that the 00 has a 1 piece harness and the gsr has a 2 piece of which I would get the engine half... so do I use my entire civic harness with an ECU jumper and just repin the distributor... or what?
Also, he says the swap is for an EG... Are the mounts, axles etc the same on an EJ? I'm trying to figure out if there's anything else I need to get.
Thanks!

not sure on rthe harness but, you will need the jumper harness to run the obd1 ecu i believe. and yes all the mounts/axels all that stuff is interchangeable from eh to an ej. GL

I always thought an 00EX was an EJ...
Bumpy for a little more info on the wiring. Surely someone's done this swap before.

Mounts from an Integra won't work and neither will the harness.
Re use your OEM harness from your car.
99-00 Civic Si driver side cast iron bracket that goes on block
99-00 Civic Si rear "L" bracket that goes on the back of the engine
Integra torque mounts (passenger side and AC) will work but you need a P7J CRV or Del Slo VTEC AC bracket so you can bolt your D series compressor back up.
All other mounts (passenger side upper trans, rear rubber mount, driver side body mounted) from the D series will work.
