00 gsr in to 96 ek *wiring*
im going to be doing a 00 gsr swap into a 96-98 EK. i noticed that the "D" plug doesn't fit into the P72 ecu. any info on this certain swap? thanks in advance.
i've looked at hybridforum and jspec tuning. anthing else?

Re: 00 gsr in to 96 ek *wiring* (A-Spec)
you cant use your harness, you need a harness from a 99 and up car. I would guess 99-00SI. that is what I will be using for my 00-ITR swap into my 96.
Well, you can use your harness, but you are gonna have to change ecu plugs etc.
There isn't any information on the net for putting 99up motors into 96-98 cars that I have seen.

You can not use the '99-'00 Civic engine harness in a '96-'98 Civic without switching the entire dash harness as well.
In this case I would toss the '00 GS-R ECU due to the fact that it has an immobilizer and its plug style is slightly different. Get a '96-'99 GS-R ECU and it will plug right in.

you can use the 99 harness you just gotta rewire the green plug..if you dont rewire the ecu your Tach, speed and reverse lights wont work..The engine harness is plug an play.

Re: 00 gsr in to 96 ek *wiring* (Jackson)
EEK,
Have you ever used a '99-'00 Civic engine harness in a '96-'98 Civic with a DOHC VTEC B-series swap? I am curious on how you got it to work by only rewiring the green plug.

Re: 00 gsr in to 96 ek *wiring* (A-Spec)
what other ecu's would work properly in this situation?
i plan on keeping it OBD2 for the meanwhile, until i have enough money to purchase a harness.
can someone clear this up for me...
a 96-99 gsr will plug in, but a 2000 won't work because the plugs are different and there is an immobilizer on it? is that right? thanks again

Re: 00 gsr in to 96 ek *wiring* (A-Spec)
EEK,
The reason I asked that question is due to the fact that the '99-'00 Civic Si engine harness only has the B and C plug on it. The '96-'98 Civic engine harnesses have the A, B, and D plugs on it.
Also, the '96-'98 manual Civic ECUs use plugs A, C, and D and the '99-'00 manual Civic ECUs use A, B, and C plugs.
If you use a '99-'00 Civic Si engine harness in a '96-'96 EK the ECU plug A will not be present this is due to the fact that the '99-'00 Civics have the ECU plug A incorporated into the interior car harness.
How did you wire up ECU plug A in your '96 EK?
Maybe there is something that I am missing here.

The best bet for you is to sell the eecu n wire harness, wire up your stock harness
to the motor, use's your stock ecu and wire up vtec

WTF are you talking about? You make no sense. *Cheapest solution...stock civic harness and 96-98 gsr ecu. Problem solved.

Sounds like you need to clarify what you are saying. What I got out of what you were saying was, "Use the stock civic harness and stock civic ecu." Clarify what you are trying to say. Some people are not as smart as you, and what is common sense to you is jibber jabber to someone else.

Re: 00 gsr in to 96 ek *wiring* (A-Spec)
Just use a 96-98 GSR ECU and your stock engines harness. What wires you need to add depends on the model EK you have.
I was going to try and use a 99 Si harness in my 97 Hx....I think it would be possible by rewiring the green connector and adding a different ecu plug, and rewiring all the plugs as well, but it would be too big of a pain, and I couldn't find enough information on the green plugs wires. Whew...so don't go that route!
