hey guys ill hopefully be swapping in a z6 into my '91 hatch std and was wondering what all needs to be done as far as wiring... ive heard of a few companies that sell the modified harnesses but was wondering if it is easy enough for me to do it myself... are the harnesses worth the money? this is my first swap so im not too knowledgable on this subject... is there a harness that i can buy that will take care of all the wiring work for me? how much are they? who makes the cheapest and/or best harness? thanks a lot for the info

You have to convert your harness to mpfi,obd1,and add the wires for vtec..

Rywire.com can build you a harness if you cant do that **** yourself....

 

yeah but dont i need to send them my harness and some other stuff too? i dont have any of that stuff and do their harnesses have everything i need? thanks

yeah i read that but i wasnt sure if that was neccesary or not... i dont have an si harness nor do i know of any places around here that carry them... is there any place where i can just send money and get the harness i need?

what about http://www.jkobd.com/0to1.htm ? it doesnt say on there that i need to send any harnesses... would this harness be the one i need?

You dont have to have an si harness..It says send in a si harness or buy the parts he needs to do the harness..Which is right on his site as an option..And his dx to obd1vtec harness includes the obd0-obd1 conversion harness from jkobd..

Look right here http://rywire.com/dxtodvtec.shtml

 

ok i didnt understand that when i read it... so it would be $300 plus the $65 for all of the parts that he needs? damn i thought that a harness was going to be around $150 or something... lol guess i need to start scrounging some money... so are there any harnesses around that are cheaper? thanks for being so patient with me
-Josh

 

Actually his stuff seems to be the cheapest online..And you can get everthing from one place..

You can always build your own if you're broke..All you really need is some wire,oem clips,some wire looms,and a guide to go by..

 

yeah thanks anyways but that seems a lil too complicated for my first swap... want to keep it as simple as possible... lol... are there very many people that sell the harnesses after they swap to a completly different motor? where would be a good place to look? ebay? thanks

Sometimes you get lucky ..Check out Urbanracer.com,Hondaclassifieds.com,thepartstrader .com,and here..

 

actually its kind of straight forward, its 300 dollars total, i would get this if i was attempting this swap because this would make it easier than anything. all u need is a ecu from a 92-95 p28. and ur good too go
