So I am doing my ITR swap in my EX and I noticed that the plugs on the dizzy are a bit different. It seems like on my B18C's dizzy the plug includes all the wires (10?) and on my stock wiring harness from my EX it's 8 + 2 in two plugs.

What do people usually do about this?

 

You can do a couple of things:

-Cut and splice (or depin) an OBD2A large distributor plug onto the civic harness.
-or swap the CYP/CKP/TDC sensors from the D16Y8 distributor into the ITR distributor case.

Be aware that the missing wire is for the tach signal, you don't need it if you are using an OBD2B ECU (these vehicles get their tach signal from the ECU instead of the distributor.)

 

To add what 94EG8 mentioned, if you depin your EX plug, here's a wiring diagram of how to pin the B18C dizzy plugs to your EX harness:

 

katman,
im sure thats an old one, but u never cease to amaze me with your diagrams/ charts.

 

actually it's fairly new...whipped that up about a month ago or so.
Thanks for the props

 

Are all the 96-98 ex harnesses this way

 

what do you mean? equipped with VTEC/KS/and primary 02 only ? if so, yes...
