After weeks of lookin for a Si engine and body harness, I'm Finally scoring a Si engine harness for my Botched MPFI swap. It's off a Civic Hatch.

Now.........I heard off of ef-honda.com that I would have to have a hatch body harness in the 1st place, not a CRX Si body harness. Some guy posted up and said he did the same thing and said a hatch body harness from a 90-91 is the only one that would work. Then they said that I'd have to get a Hatch Engine harness from those years too.

Is there any truth to these comments??? Or can I "Mix-and-Match" harness'....

i.e.- Get a Civic engine harness and a CRX Body Harness? or Vice Versa(sp?)

and how about the years? Do they have to corespond? I heard anything from 88 is no good cause there's a bunch of crap different on those years, but how about 89-91? or soes a 91 engine harness need to be connected to a 91 body harness?

 

Jesus........all the Honda Nuts on this site and no-one can give me an answer???

 

if you use the si engine harness i beleive you have to also need to use the body harness from si..........why dont you just send your dx harness to rywire and have them "convert" it correctly?

 

Yea.....I knew that....hence the need for a Si Body Harness......

And can you just plug a rywire harness into a DX body harness or do you still have to do all the wiring from the ECU and stuff?? If that was the case then I'd have gotten one a long time ago.

 

Nevermind........just checked out the site and you still have to do the pin swapping at the ECU. I'd rather just replace both harness' with Si harness' than do that crap again. It seems simple enough but it wasn't happening for us. I don't know If I have the only DX in existance where the wire colors aren't what the instructions say or what?

 

i think it would be more trouble trying to swap the body harness then just repin the ecu i wish you the best of luck on whatever way you go with

 

Yea, but what are my other options?? We already went that route with the Pins and such and it's not running right? Where do I go from here? I have a chance to Score a 91 Hatch Si for like $500 so depending on how nice it is I might just put my motor in that and part out my car or something....We'll See....
