I am doing a b16a (obd2) swap into a 1996 civic hx coupe w/chipped P28 from hondata and the obd1-obd2 adaptor. I'm looking at trading my hx harness for a 99-00 SI harness. Will this ease some of my wiring concerns, or should i stick with the hx harness and do the necessary plug conversions?

Also I'm doing a auto to manual conversion, since my HX was an auto, will this add to my wiring task??

Stick with the HX harness. The 99-00 harness won't work without extensive repinning of some interior wires.

 

I wouldn't have to do any extra wiring for the auto to manual conversion other than the usual vtec, knock sensor......etc??

 

No, the pinout locations of the interior are different between 96-98 and 99-00. The plug is the same, the pinouts different.

 

I'll stick with the HX harness. I saw a post on honda-tech saying that I will need the rear engine mount from an SI, is this true or will my Hx mount work? we have the engine in, but only had time to put 2 mounts in.
