Im puttin a b16 into an 88 si crx shell. The 90 si engine harness has a round 8 wire plug , while the 88 si body harness has rectangle 6 wire plug and then a 2 wire plug closer to the headlights. The pic is pretty explanatory. I thought about just matching up the colors but theyre different. Also the small 2 wire plug has a brown and bule wire, while the 6 wire rectangle plug also has brown and blue wires. Has anyone ran into this issue or have a wiring diagram I can check out. wat is that round plug for anyways?

 

u need an 88 engine harness

 

the 2-wire plug is the service connector for timing adjustments. FYI

wow. youre a real genious. how bout you go find me one . thanks

 

The wires that make it a 8 pin connector are for the fast idle valve... 1 wire is blue, the other is blk/yellow... eliminate those, and match the rest of the wires... You should be good... I THINK thats the only difference... I have never tried this on a car however to verify(weird I know!)

i can get u a 88 engine harness for cheap just let me know

 

If you gimme the exact wire colors, I'm holding both of your engine wiring diagrams in my hand. I'm pretty sure ryan is right though. Although on your car there is a dashpot control solenoid setup, and the wires to that are somewhere...

 

the wires dave speaks of are on the firewall, not on the eng harness

 

Thanks bud, and your s2k cluster converter should be here soon.

good thinkin.. 88 does NOT have a fast idle valve.. match up the wires and give her a go.

 

the wires are different colors though. :/ on the female and male end.

ill take a pic of the plugs and get the colors.

 

here they are guys, i may be pickin up an 88 harness in a bit . but help me out if i should need to rewire this muggg

 

I did something similar to what your currently doing. I have a 88std model and I put a 90 civic Si wiring harness in the car, but the entire wiring harness from headlight to tailight. A lot of the plugs you can just repin them.

 

yea but i would need to know what to repin , I did get an 88 harness though. now it wont start. i think its a bad fuel pump
