Default D16Z6 Question

The engine I purchased came complete with the harness and ECU. I can just drop it in and got right? No need to buy any conversion harness or anything.

You need a preOBD (OBD0) to OBD1 conversion harness to make it work.

What trim is your car? If you have a DPFI motor then you will need to do the MPFI conversion too.

You do NOT use that Z6 engine harness - you will have a wiring nightmare on your hands. Convert your stock harness.
BTW - if you want to sell that Z6 harness send me a PM =P

I have a EX Sedan. The reason I asked that question is when I did a LS swap into my EK, I used the harness and ECU that came with the motor and it worked fine.

Like it was mentioned earlier, you have two different OBD versions of wiring to deal with. More than likely the LS was from a 96-up Integra which matched up to the wiring of the EK. Not so in this case. If you are going to use the P28 ecu, then you will need an OBD0 to OBD1 conversion harness.
