Default Wiring Harness Problem...

Howzit everyone?? I hope someone out there can help me out here...Here is my situation...

I have a 92 DX hatch and I'm attempting to swap in a 00 USDM b18c5...the problem that I've come across right now is what kind of wiring harness to use...I have 3 wiring harnesses to choose from right now...I have...

1) 92 DX civic engine wiring harness
2) 00 ITR engine wiring harness
3) 99 civic Si engine wiring harness

My cousin suggested that I use my DX harness and just add 4 wires for the VTEC, but the injector plugs on the DX harness do not match the injectors on the ITR swap...
Then my friend suggested that I just use the ITR harness...but the injector plugs on the ITR harness are have been snipped off ...
Then I have the Si harness...
I was thinking that I could just snipp off the injector plugs on the Si harness and apply them to the ITR harness...but im not sure if that would work...
OR...I was thinkin of using the Si harness...
So anyways...there is my problem...I hope someone out there can point me in the right direction...
ooo and another thing if this helps any.... just for all yalls information...I'm planning to run a chipped p28 ecu...

AGAIN...thanks for all yalls help...i really appreciate it...

either the 92 DX or ITR harness will plug into your car. The Si harness will not, canibalize it for the parts you need

ok thanks...that helps a little...but im still stuck...

The injector plugs on the DX harness DO NOT match to the injectors on the injector on the ITR swap...

AND...

The Injector plugs on the ITR harness have been snipped off...

If I were to transfer the injector plugs from the Si harness to the ITS harness...do you think that would work??

Also...can u please explain why the Si harness would NOT work at all in the first place??

If I were to take the Injector plugs off a 99 Si engine wiring harness and apply them to a 00 ITR engine harness (thas has no injector plugs - They've been cut off ) That should work right?? the plugs from both harnesses are indenticle correct???

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

try it and see?... just take your si harness and try the plugs out.. if they fit, you're good.. as far as what to use, ive always used the stock harness that the car came with and added what i need.. distributor plug.. fuel injectors.. anything else thats different, and then add vtec seperately on top of whatever else you change.

you buy the b18c5 legit and the injector plugs were cut off? kill somebody.. cuz my guess is you spent a pretty penny for em.. especially if your si injector plugs dont work.. if its not legit... well i'll leave that up to you heh but i wouldnt be too mad with a b18c5 in my garage either way..

hope that helped just never worked on obd2 engine swaps until recently.. b20vtec into 88 crx auto.. wewp..

sorry i couldnt give more precise info..
