your supposed to use your dx harness converted for mpfi and im assuming your converting to obd1, so you will need to repin the dist plugs and wire up your vtec along with a 4 wire o2...

yeah listen to what he said. you can't use either of the si harnesses. convert you dx harness from dpfi to mpfi. here is the link that shows how to do the conversion.
