hey guys like the title says im putting in a 2000 jdm b16 motor in my car and i jus wanted to kno if i should use the wiring harness that comes with it or use the stock one from my 1999 honda civic ex which is a d16y8 motor?

also what ecu should i use with the motor? thanks

 

use the wireharness that you have in the car now.
i would try to use a p2t, 99-2000 us b16 ecu. you would probaly need to add some sensors though

but for now, your single cam ecu will run it alright.
Or get a step down harness and convert to obd1, and run a chipped ecu.

 

what do u mean by "add some senors" ? please explain a little more in detail thanks

 

couldn't he use a p28?

 

 

Use your EX harness since it's perfect. For ECU, use either the JDM ECU with the motor or a 99-00 Si ECU. If it's a B16B then I would suggest the JDM ECU or else you would need a chipped P28 with CTR maps.

What the other guy meant about sensors is that the JDM motors are the equivalent of our USDM OBD1 emissions standards, but with OBD2 pinouts. So basically, running an OBD2 USDM ECU will mean the motor won't have all the sensors that the ECU is looking for. Personally, I said forget it and am still using the JDM ECU.
