ok I swapped in a z6 a long *** time ago and it still dosent run right...more than liekly electrical....I have 1 bawic question....Can I swap out ALL the wiring from under my dash and the engine harness and use an eg harness? Ive got a p28 and d16z6, so can I just use the wiring from a car that has a z6??? what kinda complications will I run to? anything will help.

It's best to modify ONLY your stock engine harness and run the extra wires you need to the ECU.
Give Rywire a call and they'll help you sort it out.

 

I actually just Im'ed you....I guess I'll give him a call, I dont have any stock harness now though, I gave them to the guy who built my plug and play haress. Its been plug and **** for the last 7 months.

 

if you decide to change it all out it wouldn't be a problem. just make sure you have everything. fuse box under dash and in engine bay, engine harness and inside cab harness

 

so I would need to undetrhood fuse box from the eg?

 

The problem with using the eg harness is that your interior plugs wont match anything. Things like cluster, heater, ac, stuff like that... Your better off getting a fresh matching harness, and converting that.

the thing is ive already got converted harneses and im still not running right, I guess thers a chance theres a defection in them its just im having trouble swalloing the idea of buying the same **** twice...

 

if you really want to do that, it's probably easier to swap the whole EG dash & fuse boxes, etc in than it will be to rewire your dash to match teh EG plugs.

 

I'm contemplating the same thing, except using a 94+ Integra as the donor. Swap over the engine the dash and all the wiring with it. Since I'd have the car itself I could also rewire the Integra plugs to the Civic, that way stuff like headlights and all that would be able to plug in to the Integra system.

 

All I can say is that if you want it done right, do a mpfi swap CORRECTLY

 

dropped is correct man. I hate messing with 40+ wires. I'd rather pay someone to modify a stock one, than to do 40 wires on my own.

If you know what you are doing. i say great for you man. best of luck to you.

 

what you guys are missin is that ive ALREADY paid to have my stock harness modfied and ive already payed for an obd0-1 conversion harness, this is plan B...

then it wasnt done right the first time, get it fixed.

thats a very bad plan B.

your making triple the extra work, and it still wont run right when your done.

get the helms for the Z6 and see where the wires go from the ecu with a Digital Multi Meter from Sears for like 20$

set the meter to beep when you touch the two terminals (red and black) together.

put one terminal at the ECU pin, then the other under the hood where the wire should be going, and the meter will beep to confirm it. if it doesnt beep, leave it hooked up to the wire under the hood, and check all the ecu pins until you hear it beep. then youll find where the wire is crossed.

its time consuming but it really isnt that hard man. rewiring your entire car over to EG wiring would be the worst thing you could possibly do.

it would take you weeks to get all the interior stuff working again, like climate controls, heater core, radio, speakers, cluster, clutch switch, main relay, rear lights (brakes, reverse and parking) fuel pump and sending unit, the wires that go up to the roof if you have one.

why kill yourself with all that? find the problem with your existing wiring.

 

me and the shop has already checkd for crosses exactgly how you said...still nothing.
