I would like to get a new shell to transfer my engine and suspension to. The one I found recently is completely stripped of ALL wiring except the engine harness. The car is a 91 Integra.

I'm seriously considering taking on this project even though it is a big one. Just wondering if anyone who had done this before had any input or suggestions. The car is OBD0 but I'd want to swap in all OBD1 wiring as that's what my planned setup needs to be.

Not looking to do a wire tuck or anything like that, I'll probably clean up the engine harness a little, but mainly just inquiring about swapping ALL of the wiring from a junk yard donor car into this shell...

TIA!

been done way tooooooooo many times

 

I know people have done it... I'm just looking for any tips, advice, suggestions...

 

the only thing that wont plug in is the ignition harness that screws into the ignition housing there is a white clip on the ignition wiring that has to be switched with the obd0 car and you have to wire in the fuel pump and sending unit

 

OK, so the Ign switch wiring doesn't just plug right in? But it can be done to by swapping the "white clip"? Good to know.

And the fuel pump and sending unit wiring will be different? I assume I can just cut the appropriate clips off of the donor car and solder them onto the parts on my car so it's all plug and play?

Thanks for those tips, I wasn't even thinking those would be problems. I just realized that I'm unsure if there is still wiring in the doors or not. Do you know if the door wiring for 90-91 and 92-93 is the same? (in regard to how they all plug together?)

 

any other hints or tips?

 

no that sounds about right
