Default What to convert on engine harness?

I'm about to swap in a obd2 b18b in my 98 EK. The thing is, the car had a obd1 b16 in it before. The engine harness is still there and it was just wired for vtec. What I need to know now is what I have to do to the existing harness in order for me to run the b18b.

well the harness is an obd2 engine harness. It was just made to fit all the obd1 plugs. I was wondering what I need to change back to obd2 to work on the LS

Just reuse all the stuff from your old setup. No need to convert anything over.

Do you still have your engine harness? Just pick up an engine harness for your car and get a jumper harness. Then you could use everything on the motor.
