Got my 98dx that I'm getting ready to swap in a '00 d16y8 and so I bought a 98ex ecu and a 98 ex wiring harness. (BTW, I am using a 98 ex intake manifold) ANyway, how hard is it going to be to install this new wiring harness?

 

It's not that hard. Put the harness on the motor OUTSIDE of the car and it will save you a lot of time and hassle. Oh, and it will be that much easier if you have a helms manual.

 

Its quite easy. Shouldnt be any extending or anything...

Why would I need a Helms manual?

ALso, since the '00 d16y8 going in is going to be converted to 96-98 specs via intake manifold swap, should I maybe just keep the d16y7 wiring harness and add vtec with the two wires?

 

a little more help.
