well it will bolt right up but the ports on the intake are smaller on the 5th gen accord heads as the 4th heads but it will still work. But the water pipe under the egr valve is different it is not as big and it is moved over to the sideif you get the 97 accord im gasket it should work if you bolt down tight

no you dont need the harness as you only need to wire in the vtec switch and pressure sensor in to the ecu
