Default installing engine!

Well I just completed a mild rebuild and am kind of up in the air about what I should do for my harness. The guy who helped my do the swap originally modified my f22 harness for my H22. But IMO he did a hack job. I really wanna clean it up so should I try to fix this harness or start fresh.

I would like to just buy an H22 harness but can't seem to find one anywhere. Are they pretty tought to find? If so should I maybe get another F22 or H23 and start over with it?

By the way this is for an ODB1 setup.

Thanks

I searched all over HT. Never thought to look on ebay though. That is for a 96 accord. It is prolly for an F22 I would prefer an H22 if that is what I need to do. Thanks though.

The only difference between these harnesses is the lack of a few sensors (IAB, KS, VTEC if non VTEC F22) and maybe the length of wires maybe not sufficient to plug the existing sensors. But it's not the problem.

Do you think I can fix his hack job without hurting the integrity of the harness?

Or do you think it would be easier and better to start over?

i vouch for pullig^^

well, if you've really got the cash and want it to look super nice, you could always just get one from the dealer.......but if i remember correctly you'll end up paying around 700 bucks or so for it.

If I did have $700 I wouldn't be spending it on a harness.

92 Honda Prelude S - The swap was already in the car, but the wireing is crap. Very messy! It was the F22 harness modified to work on the H22. I am just wanting to clean it up.

ive seen some bad stuff happen when ppl try to mod a Fseries harness for an h22. if u can get an h23 harness, it would just take two wires to the ecu to get it perfect (also another wire from the engine to some ground as well)

you may need the chassis side of the harness as well to do this but im not sure.

Can anyone verify this? I have my stock ecu to firewall harness from the original F22. Is it the same as the H23 models?
