99 B16B (CTR) Engine / 96-98 EX Engine Harness / into 96 EK Hatch Swap Question

I have a 99 B16B (CTR) engine with a 96-98 EX (D16Y8) Engine harness with a OBDIIa Spoon Sports ECU. Am I going to run into any problems? This is all going into a 96 Honda Civic DX. I am mainly concerned with wiring problems!!!

use the harness on your car, add the vtec wire and knock sensor wire, move the idle control valve wire(stock dx 3 wires, b series 2 wires). there will work the best.

pretty much plug n play.. need to extend a few wires for the VTEC connections.. that should be it.. I have the same exact motor and harness in my 98 htbk.. or as noted you can do as Spoon EK9 suggested and sell the EX HARNESS for $200 bucks
