I HAVE A 97 CX WITH 95 GSR MOTOR

MOTOR IS ALREADY HUNG IN CAR, HAD TO PURCHASE A 99-00 B SERIES REAR MOUNT (IS THAT RIGHT?)

PURCHASED OBD2A TO OBD1 WIRE CONVERSION HARNESS FROM BLOWN90HATCH (THANKS A LOT BRO!)

FROM WHAT I KNOW NOW I NEED TO CONVERT ALL THE WIRING ON THE MOTOR TO A 96-97 GSR WIRING LOOM. ALSO THE INJECTORS OR WHAT NOT.

WHAT WILL WORK SO I CAN GET THIS GOING? I SEARCHED UNDER SOME DIFFERENT KEYWORDS AND COULDNT GET ANY GOOD INFO. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED A MILLION TIMES ON THIS BOARD SO I AM SORRY FOR THE REPETITIVENESS. ALSO I HAVE CAPS LOCK ON SINCE I AM AT WORK...SORRY FOR THE SENSITIVE READERS OUT THERE!

 

WILL A 99 EX ENGINE WIRE LOOM WORK?

 

BUMP

First, please hit your caps lock button.

The 99 ex loom will not work. '99 is OBD2B while your '97 is OBD2A.
Reuse your stock cx harness.
You will need to switch the following to obd1 plugs: Injectors, distributor, and alternator.
Then you will need to run wires for the vtec solenoid, vtec oil pressure switch, knock sensor and intake air bypass.

 

SORRY FOR THE CAPS (AT WORK AND WE HAVE CAPS "LOCKED" SO I CANT TURN THEM OFF)

THE STOCK CX HARNESS WAS NOT THERE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR WITHOUT MOTOR IN IT

 

Oh, I see.

Well, the easiest thing to do is to get a '96-'98 ex harness.
It is already wired for vtec, but you will still have to change the plugs and run the wires for the IAB. I'm not sure wether or not the obd2 ex civics had knock sensors or not. Maybe someone else can confirm that.

 

WELL I WAS ABLE TO FIND A 96 EX ENGINE HARNESS. FOR AN AUTOMATIC THOUGH, I THINK I WILL HAVE A PLUG THAT WILL BE HANGING FOR THAT NOT IN USE.

THANKS FOR THE HELP Y0!

 

interesting

take it to someone who knows what they are doing

 

IT IS AT MY LOCAL SPEED SHOP RIGHT NOW. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH WAS TRYING TO FIND A HARNESS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR WITHOUT A MOTOR. THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY LYING AROUND SO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I COULD USE OR SOMETHING THAT IS COMPATIBLE, WITHOUT HAVING TO CALL THEM A 1000 TIMES.

I GUESS I JUST TRYING TO GAIN MY OWN KNOWLEDGE SINCE I AM NOT PHYSICALLY DOING ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING EVERYTHING AND HAVE CAME UP WITH A LOT OF INFO THAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK ON BEFORE. I KNOW (SLAP TO THE BACK OF MY HEAD)
