Default Harness issues PLZ HLP!!!!

Ok heres the deal. I have a 90 4 dr ef with an a 91 Ls swap. The previous owner did the swap and the way the harness looks is just awful(the pics speak for them selves). I'm looking to put in a b16a obdo motor in replace of the Ls(not sure yet). I know I'm going to need a Si engine harness,but the harness under the dash is all messed up too. they used the original Ls fuse box. Nothing on the dash works except the cluster. I want to know if these civic have a seperate harness under the dash,would it work with the si engine harness,and if you have any parts I may need and your close to queens NY let me know. Cash in hand!!! Or to offer a hand.718-404-5119

Good god, what a mess.

You should just get the stock harness for your vehicle's trim level, then modify it to work with the current setup. Make you life easier. And yes, there are separate dash and engine harnesses that you'll need.

Get the harness that matches your trim level. All the engine harnesses are the same, except if you have an EX, get an Si engine harness. The dash harnesses may be different, as well as the cabin harnesses for sure.

Just make you life easier and get a stock replacement that matches your vehicle's year range and trim level. Then you can modify for VTEC, OBD and MPFI conversions, etc.
