your D15B7 harness will work fine, you may need to lengthen a few wires to reach certain sensors but thats it. I sincerly hope you're mating that engine to a manual tranny though.

The OBD2 LS harness should actually plug right in at the shock tower plugs, so that you don't have to wire anything, the only thing i don't know is if the automatic transmission wiring will cause a problem, shouldn't from what i can see. Forgot the engine was OBD2 the first time i posted, you need to change distributor plug, injector clips and the alternator or alternator plug, whichever is more convientent. Now that I realize its OBD2 though I'd jsut use the OBD2 LS harness, like i said it plugs in at the should tower plugs and you don't have to wire anything.

the obd2 wires plug in only on the right shock tower plugs(wires which go to the chassis).on the left side(ecu side) though there r only 3 plugs and the ls harness has 4 plugs so do i just leave the ones that dont plug in?if i use the ls harness i dont have to change the dizzy plugs or anything rite?

If its a '95 then its an OBD1. If it is OBD2 then its a '96 or newer.

i thought for integras 94-01 is obd 2.it must be obd2 since i got it from a 95 auto integra.i dont think a guy would swap in a motor and hook it up with a auto tranny lol.

Nope, '92 - '95 integra's are OBD1 (yes i'm aware that crosses two generations of integra's) '96 - '01 are OBD2. There were lots of automatic LS integras in '94 - '95, OBD 1 or 2 has nothing to do with it being automatic or not.
