Default EG b18b1 swap wiring problems

Ive searched around and I cant really find the answer for this, i got an obd1 b18b1 im putting into a 94 civic coupe, it had a d16y8 swap when I got it, but I dropped that out and sold it in favor of this DOHC, but anyways I can't figure out the wiring. I have harness I bought but it doesnt really match up at all on the wires.

I have 3 plugs on the drivers side, one of those has 4 wires just for the injectors, and the integra harness won't plug into this. I can post pictures if necessary but maybe I'm just missing something really easy.

Thanks

D16y8 is obd2. So the chassis harness is prob obd2 now. Switch the chassis harness to the stock obd1 and it's plug and chug. Simple

if you're putting a b18b1 into a 92-95 civic, just use the b18b1 engine harness and plug it into your 92-95 civic chassis harness, and no wiring is required

He has a d16y8 so it's converted to obd2. He needs to change the chassis harness back over to obd1 then it's simple

Chassis harness would never have been swapped, I can almost guarantee you.

I doubt its converted to OBD2 that would require more than just the harness as the OBD2 Civic harness is one piece and the OBD1's are two piece.
