Your stock harness was cut, or the harness that came with the motor was cut? Just transfer over your crx si engine harness to the b16a everything will plug right in. And use the plugs of the "jdm" harness for vtec selenoid, oil pressuree switch, knock sensor and secondary o2. Its very simple, you dont need to buy a kit, but you can buy a subharness from hasport if you dont know how to cut and solder wires.

No, attach your stock si harness to the B16 engine and make another small harness for the additional wires that you'll need. Take the cut harness that came with your swap and pull out the wires you need for the VTEC system and run them directly to the ecu.

to make it run with a obd0 computer all you have to run is 4 wires that go directly from the computer to the 4 different sensors. If you are going obd1 use blown90hatch's conversion harness and follow the steps he gives you.

If you are running OBD 1 and already have the S2 OBD 0-1 conversion harness all you should have to do is take your stock engine harness and modify the plugs that go into the engine. Somebody else did my engine harness, but I think plugs like the dizzy, alternator, fuel injectors (I think) will need to be changed out on your stock engine harness for the plugs that go into your B16. Then you can make up a seperate VTEC subharness out of some spare wiring, you just need the plugs that go into your VTEC solenoid and I think the VTEC oil pressure sensor and two others which I forget.

Just ask around either on http://www.rywire.com or IM Blown90Hatch and tell them you need a VTEC subharness and you need them to modify your stock CRX Si engine harness so it can plug into your new B16 motor (engine side) and to your Skunk2 OBD conversion harness (ECU side).
