the engine harness is pretty much the same I belive with the addition of the v-tec wires in the F22B1 engine harness. I'm not completely sure though.

I'm also pretty sure you would need the F22B2 ECU as well.

I sent you a PM, you won't be able to respond to the PM so if you're interested, just send me an email to the email I listed in the PM.

If you have a pop-up blocker on then you probably won't see it. Just go to your profile in the upper right of the site, then click on Instant Message History. You'll find it in there.

I'd recommend using the F22b2 ECU with the motor, just because it's a SOHC whereas the F22b1 is DOHC with vtec. If you try to keep the same ECU it's definitely going to throw some CELs because of the vtec not being hooked up, best case scenario.

The F22B1 is not a DOHC VTEC, its a SOHC VTEC

the H22 is a DOHC VTEC

but yes you would want to use the F22B2 ECU as it would be better able to run that engine.
