I need some help. I've searched about 5 forums now and can't find any detailed instructions or pictures on how to do this. I own a '96 civic dx hatch and am going to swap in a B16A2. I know I have to add wires to my dx harness such as knock sensor, vtec wiring, etc. The questions are: How many wires and specifically which wires do I need to add? How do I do it? Are there any websites that go step by step on how to do it for an EK (most are for eg's)? If I get a fully intact and uncut B16A2 harness, can I just pull the pins out of the plugs along with the wiring from the B16A2 harness, and pin it into the dx harness? Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

knock sensor is one wire which goes to D3..

vtec solenoid is a4, and vtec oil pressure is d6 and ground (grn/wht wire at firewall)

that is all you will need to add.

you just simple add a line of wire from the vtec solenoid, oil presure and knock sensor and wire that directly to the pin-outs they need to go to.

and you may just use the b16 harness, plug that into where the firewall is, then wire vtec and knock sensor to the ecu directly.

I don't think those pinouts are correct. I quick looked at a manual at Autozone and here's what I found:

* Vtec ground-------------------------------- ground at firewall (green/white)
* Vtec solenoid------------------------------ A8 (green/yellow)
* Vtec oil pressure (pressure switch)------ C15 (blue/black)
* Knock sensor------------------------------ D6 (red/blue)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Trey, on your website it says that one may have problems wiring a '99-'00 B16A2 into a '96 EK. Could you go more in depth with that? How hard is it really to put a '99-'00 B16A2 into a '96 EK wiring wise? Any info would be helpful.
