Re: swapping a y8 into ek 4door lx 98
i personally do not like the y8. due to oiling issues. but anyway... an obd2 vtec harness worked on an ls? ls is non vtec. but idk. might work. plug the engine harness into the main harness... dadada into ecu. it should drop right in. i may have misunderstood you on the harness thing tho... just get a y8 engine harness. should be cheap. did i answer your question?

since the harness is obd2... as is the y8. plug and play on the sensors. when you get it in and if you have wiring problems... just go get one off of a y8.

as far as wiring the knock sensor... just run a pin to the ecu...see the diagram for pin location... then get the connector that plugs into the knock sensor location (below the intake manifold on the back of the block) run the wire... DO NOT take my word for it unless someone else on here backs me up. do research about it.
