I've got a specific question about harnesses. I read alot about "this plugs up" then just add vtec wires. What I want to know before shelling out the cash is could I use the ENGINE harness from my D16y7 on the B16A2 motor? Car is a 99 Civic CX hatch and the motor is out of a 99 Si. I could save alot of money by leaving the harness.

 

if saving money is what youre into, boost your current motor and make people with b16 swaps cry


THIS IS WRONG INFORMATION!

what might i ask is wrong about this "information"? my appologies to the internet police for voicing my opinion about a topic.

and btw, id love to see a car w/ a b16 swap even try to hang with a boosted d...i wont even get into the hp/$ argument

 

Yes you can reuse the original harness, a '99 - '00 harness will make everything plug and play, but you can certainly reuse the original harness and modify it for a B16 swap without a whole lot of work.
