i just recently put a 98 itr swap in my 97 ex coupe.i was told to use my stock harness which i did.it starts up but some plugs dont fit and too short? does anything have a clue on what i should do? there is a sensor..maybe knock sensor with 2 green wires on the front of the trans i dontknow what to do with and the same style lookin plug in the backof he block by the oil filter. i extended the wire by the intake manifold.anything else that im missin??? help im doin all this by myself, noone to look off of or give me info. i dont want a single check engine light.the motor in the car i pulled it outa didnt have a CEL and my car didnt have a CEL previously of this swap..so help me clear this up

 

pics would be awesome!

 

not for vtec bc i have a ex harness i need for the sensors and other stuff

 

i searched? come on

 

I have a swap in my ek also that I am doing. There is the vtec soleniod, vtec oil pressure, and o2 sensor that you have to extend.

 

thats werid because i've also did a swap into my ek and i didnt have any problem w/ tryin to extend anything of the matter....everything plug'd right up! the only thing is that i have like 5 extra plugs that were not needed....

 

yah i didnt have to extend my vtec wires it seemed..but i hate obd2! hah pics please!

 

where are the pics???????

itr generally an easy swap, espically becasue its a itr. no seconderies to wire up. but every thing should plug right into the factory ex harness, you will have a extra 3 wire plug somewhere under the i.m./ kinda by the alternator......this is for the crank position sensor on the single cam......now if your jus throwin the type r swap in it will be fine, but in order to make it run on a u.s spec ob2 ecu, to pass emissions(dont kno if this applies to you) you would have to convert the civic 3 wire ckp to a 2 wire for the b-series, you would also have to buy a b -series ckp sensor to do this, or you could custom fab the d16 ckp sensor to the b-series, its really no that hard. the two green wires comin outta the tranny should be for your reverse sensor, that to should plug right in off the stock harness. same with vtec/knock/everything else. the only thing you should extend the iat wire from the sensor on the civic intake, move it to the #2 runner on the i.m. where the itr one is located.......hope this helps

 

also, like i said if your runnin on a stock jdm ecu it should run without a cel......but if your on a u.s. spec ecu....you got some stuff to go around. the jdm itr ecu looks for a knock signal, but not vtec pressure. if your on a us ecu, it will most likely look for knock.vtec pressure, crank postion sensor. its a lot more stuff to deal with.

 

weird, you have all the parts from an ITR on your car, and a full itr shell for sale oh well pictures of the shell?

 

the shell is sold
