the ecu conversion harness is around $100 and money well spent, you don't even want to try to make that or hack up your ECU wiring.
The VTEC subharness and O2 wiring you can do yourself, just need to solder wires is all.

he's giving you an engine harness or a ECU jumper???

You do not want to use the engine harness that came with the z6, it wouldn't work on an OBD0 car.

Yes, dont try and use a z6 harness, its WAY too much work, and you might not ever get it right man.

Trust me, i do honda wiring for a living....

dizzy harness (not necessary if you;re lazy to repin wires), obd0-obd1 jumper/conversion harness, VTEC sub harness (not necessary) PM Nikozai, he's the only one I know who carries complete harnesses for these kind of swaps.

You can't re-pin the 2-pin round connector at the distributor, you would have to cut and solder.

We do sell complete OBD1 conversions instead of all the pieces.

And if you want it done right, you can even send us your harness and we'll pin on everything you need. Plus we cut and crimp factory honda pins on those connections that the pins change on like that 2-pin dizzy plug.

Damn can't you guys just keep it tech and not use this as a personal "buy my parts" commercial place?

Don't forget Boomslang, you don't have to fix them, that is what is running in my 13.2 second ef hatch.

You want to use the wiring harnesses from your car dude.
