Need help with wiring harness for a b18b swap
I'm putting a jdm b18b in my eg hatch and i'm not 100% sure how or where the harness is supposed to go. I have the right harness for the b18b but i want to make sure it's in there right so i don't mess anything up when i drop the motor in. Pictures, diagrams, or links to diagrams would be MUCH appreciated.

Re: Need help with wiring harness for a b18b swap
Are trying to use the JFK b18b harness? It's made for right hand drive so the shock tower harnesses are on opposite sides. Reuse your stock harness as long as the engine is OBD1 and your model is DX/EX/SI itll be plug and play otherwise youll have to convert a few plugs over. Or u can use a 92-95 LS integra harness.

Lol, other things on your mind?
'94 - '95 will work, '92 - '93 is OBD1 but the harness is physically different. Is the B18B OBD1 or OBD2? If its OBD2 get a '96 - '01 Integra harness.

I know it's a ls harness but i'm not sure what year. I have everything hooked up right on the motor but there are still some extra wire clips that i'm getting paranoid about D=

Re: Need help with wiring harness for a b18b swap
Okay, so it's OBD1. but do you know anything about the extra plugs? There's a couple plugs with the same clips and I'm not sure where they're all supposed to go. I can post pics if that'll help, or if there's an article about wiring up a b18, i couldn't find one =/

Re: Need help with wiring harness for a b18b swap
I know the one on the right is the ground wire, but that's one of them
Two plugs hanging by the tranny, not sure where they go either
White plug by the alternator, still can't find out where this goes
If anyone knows where or what these plugs are plz help!

Fanswitch on thermostat housing
Left is reverse light switch
right looks like one wire O2 connector but the LS integra has a 4 wire
Looks like intake air temperature sensor which is on the front of the LS engine (pictured on 4th intake runner, black connector)

Re: Need help with wiring harness for a b18b swap
I got them all except for the white plug. My intake has a map sensor and two other plugs on the very back of it, i don't have one by the 4th intake runner. It's the last thing i gotta do on the swap and I'm so paranoid D=

if you don't have an IAT sensor in the manfold you'll have to add it to the intake arm. Generally its easiest to use a '96 -'00 Civic IAT sensor and plug when doing this.

Connect them all to the bolt on the thermostat housing... there is no particular order.
