I wanted to know if the jdm and usdm b16 are the same motors for the most part. I want to swap a b16 in and i've heard the harness is different on the jdm (backwards) because its right handed drive. But will the parts i find for the b16 fit on the usdm. Are the parts the same? Basically is usdm in my car easier than jdm? my car is a 94 civic ex. I just dont want to have to extend wires and stuff.

 

The harness is backwards, but a us harness wil work fine. You can use the EX harness. The motors for the most part are the same.

Should use the harness that comes with the b16 cus my harnes is f*ed up?

 

Also this is going to be really hard to explain so bare with me. There is the part of the harness tht goes through the fire wall. One part on each side i believe. Could i unplug the ends but still have the wires through the firewal and hook up the b16 harness to those? I know its hard to understand but at least i know what im taling about lol. I'll try one more time to explain. The wires come out about 3 inches from the fire wall then they plug in. If i were to leave that three inches or so would the b16 harness plug into that? also on the right hand side of the car the wires run through the firewall to plug into the ECU. would my ex wires plug into the b16 ECU? You may have to read this a few times lol. But bare with me. Im new at this stuff lol.

 

if you use the JDM wire harness you will have to extend the wires. for a pnp i would say use the del so DOHC wire harness
