So what if its not VTEC... all you have to do is run the 3 or 4 wires for the VTEC Activation man... hell, aren't the EK's already wired for VTEC?

if your DX is 92 and up, then use the DX harness and run a few wires...

You don't have to re-do the whole harness, you may have to lengthen a few of the sensors but nothing is changed really just because its from a RHD vehicle.

i am using a 94 CX harness in my 1994 CX with a B18C1. All i added was 3 wires. 1) knock sensor. 2)VTEC solenoid. 3) VTEC pressure switch.

I am using a Skunk2 manifold so i didn't have to add the wires for the secondaries.

Automatic wiring harnesses work too, they just have extra plugs for the solenoids.
