So if this motor is OBD1 does that mean it's from a 94+ teg?

What do I need to modify the OBD1 Integra harness to fit my stock DX harness?

Someone already told you, use the stock factory engine wiring harness, plug it up, add the extra wires that you need to make it work right.

What you <U>want</U> is to hear somebody tell you to just swap around a couple wires and then motor off into automotive bliss.

What you <U>need</U> to do is to contact the guys at Rywire and tell them what you have. Then follow what they recommend. It may just be an OBD1 to OBD0 loom or a conversion of your existing loom. They do this for a living.

Here is what you do:
1) Remove OBD-1 Engine Harness
2) Put on OBD-0 Engine harness
3) Wire up stock OBD-0 harness for MPFI
4) Convert OBD-0 MPFI --&gt; OBD-1 MPFI with a jumper

ORRRRR

1) Leave OBD-1 Engine Harness
2) Spend the next year of your life trying to match it up to the shock tower

dude you have to convert your car to multi point first before you would have your b18 running. you have to use some of the clips form your obd1 harness like the distributor clips, and thats about it i think and you would need a obd1 conversion harness. try using this link it will help you a lot.

wow... guy... if you have a DX then you have to convert your originall harness to dpfi (dual point fuel injection) and then use that harness to plug and play with your b18a1 swap... if you are using the wire harness from the engine its a no go. you need the wire harness that goes with the car (NOT THE ENGINE) or you could convert to obd1 now... and AGAIN consult with rywire they are awesome

Yeah, I shot rywire an email. The only reason i'm not splicing wires right now for the MPFI, is because I dont have the correct ECU. and all of the write ups i've found for MPFI are for using PM6, PG7 or PM7 ecus. and from what i've heard.. I need a PR4 ECU for the B18a1 motor.

You should check the boomslang web site http://www.boomslang.com I think and look for the install instructions they have all the pins and wire colors where you need to modify it tells you how to change dpfi to mpfi and how to wire up the dizzy I suggest getting a jumper from them cause they have an extra harness that hooks up all the extra things that your harness don't have so there's no repinning at the ecu. Hope that helps
