Yes, you can swap harnesses no problem. Just have to get your hands behind the intake manifold.

car is a 2000 civic ex
OBD 1 gsr motor
we did use a OBD2 99si harness but wiring got all messed up.

So what we are thinking about doing is simply just swaping the old OBD 1 harness back on to the motor.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The OBD1 Integra harness will not work at all in a 2000 EX. You need to use a 1 piece 99-00 Civic harness for plug and play or a 96-98 with an OBD2B adapter harness. The Integra harness is a 2 piece design and won't work, not even close so don't waste your time.

with the OBD1 engine harness you will need the whole sub harness from inside the car(which runs to the guages, relays, tailights, fuel pump, etc

Just get a good UNCUT 99 SI harness and start over. Or use the EX harness.

then no matter what, you need to run the OBD1 ECU to get rid of the crank angle

I would just an uncut EX or Si engine harness, and adapt it to the GSR engine. You can convert the GSR motor to OBD2 by getting an OBD2 oil pump with the CKF sensor on there.

I would recommend just converting to OBD1 and convert the OBD1 distributor to the OBD2 plug with the diagram I sent you via IM (assuming this is pennie's car?)

Use that with an OBD2a &gt; OBD1 jumper harness and an OBD1 P72 ECU.
