Modifying the DX harness so it will run the LS is much simpler than swaping out the DX harness for the LS harness into your car.

Most of the wiring is done. You have to change some wires around because you are going from sohc to dohc. I'm not sure which sensor you need to change the wiring for. I think it might be the tdc sensor or the crank position sensor, not sure.

As long as its a 90-91 b18a its plug and play as far as wiring..If its a 92-93 then you have to either convert the motor to pre-obd or convert the car to obd1..
