man things still dont make sense to me...
your saying to leave the obd2 harness on the engine and use that, but if the obd2 harness is one piece and an obd1 harness is 2 piece, how the hell is that supposed to work..??

Okay yeah just drop the motor in! Leave the harness thats on the motor. 94 civic is a 2 piece harness like an integra. Just plug it in. You may need to add some wires/switch pin config. That all depends on what ecu you wanna use.

Re: (Cuda)
If you want to change the 99 GSR motor to OBD1 you will need the following :
~ Injectors
~ Dizzy
~ Alt.
~Engine harness , if you dont have an OBD1 engine harness
The 99 GSR engine harness will plug into the car harness ( on the shock towers ), I did this on my 92 hatch. But I opted to convert everthing over to OBD1, was just easier that way and didn't have to change/de-pin any wires. Only had to run 1 wire , because im using an OBD1 P72 , so I had to run a wire for the knock sensor, but that was it.

I have a 92 hatch. W/ a 98 GSR swap I just dropped the motor w/ the 98 harness- 98 eveything. Switched a few wires around on the Passanger side shock tower harness. DONE. A chipped p28 makes it easier. That means less wires to switch.
Why switch the harness to obd1? That means you gotta find a new distrib. and alternator?

Re: (HAPRECYCLING)
It was just easier that way, and I had the stuff readily available to me.. To make things painless , thats the way I would do it, convert everything over to OBD1 .

OBD1 doesn't use the crank angle sensor.
other than that you'e spot on, OBD2 harness on OBD2 engine, plugs into the OBD1 shock towr harness of the OBD1 civic.
add the wire for the IAB from the shock tower plugs to the ECU and you should be done. (privided you're going to run your P28 chipped with P72 maps, if you want to use a P72 then you need to run the knock sensor wire as well.)
I run almost the exact setup daily with no problems. (sensor wise it's the same as an OBD2 car with an OBD2-OBD1 jumper and OBD1 ECU)

all right everyone!! thaks so much for the help..
it seems to me that all i really need to do is drop everything in as normal and just use a chipped p28, cuz thats what i have..
would i still need to rewire or would the p28 take care of that..??

"add the wire for the IAB from the shock tower plugs to the ECU and you should be done. (privided you're going to run your P28 chipped with P72 maps)."
chipped P28 means you dont worry about knock sensor wire.. but the above listed wire will still have to be ran from the shock tower connection point to the ecu plug. (search and you can find pin out locations)
