I'm rebuilding a 2000 ITR and trying to put it back as close as possible to stock. I just purchased an engine harness from a USDM 97 ITR. I looked up the part #'s on barancoacuraparts.com and I noticed that there are two different part #'s, one for the 97 engine harness and one for the 00 harness:

32110-P73-A01 - 1997
32110-P73-A02 - 2000

Does anyone know what differences there are between the 2? will the 97 harness plug into the shock tower plugs on the 00 ITR?

 

no one knows what the differences are (if any)?

 

No idea really, but the ECU in 97 is ODB2A and the 00 is ODB2B, so Im guessing a lot of the wiring is different.

 

actually, the engine harness ends at the shock towers, and doesn't go all the way to the ECU.

i know that you can take most any 94-01 Integra motor swap into a 92-95 EG civic and that the integra engine harness will plug right into the EG shock tower plugs. what i'm wondering is if the same is true for 97 ITR vs 00 ITR engine harnesses into an 00 ITR chassis.

 

the only difference that I know for sure is the lack of tach wire from the distributor to the driver's shock tower in the 00-01.
the 00-01 gets the tach signal for the cluster from the ECU.

 

thanks for that. anything else?

 

From my experience you run into nothing but trouble if you don't use the same harness that the car came with down to year model and trim....

Even swapping a b16 into a civic you would still use the civic harness, not the b16's.

Let me know if that needs clarifying, I don't know exactly how to word this.

 

the difference between a US 97-98 itr motor harness and 2000-2001 US itr motor harness is mainly the fact that the 2000-2001 does not have a tach wire which can be added but also the fact the the plug for the purge solinoid at the back of the firewall is also different. 97-98 harnesses have the tach wire and a circular purge solinoid harness plug.

thanks man. so i can integrate the purge solenoid plug from a 00 harness and I should be good to go.

 

yeah just change the plug.
