Just use your existing wiring harness and add the necessary injector and distributor wires. What ecu will you be using for your swap?

well if your going from obd0 to obd1, which you should be, then you'll need an adapter to make life easy. Rywire sells them, so far so good for mine(3yrs) and made everyting really simple.

Of course you can stay obd0 in which case the above is right on the money.

you can convert to obd1 and run it with a p75, or just stay obd0 and run it with a pr4. like was said above keep your stock harness and convert it from dpfi to mpfi.

yep that will work. it says "or an equivalent mpfi harness" so the zc one should work fine.

For one you'll need to swap the fan switch from the back of the block (first pic yellow arrow) to the thermostat housing (second pic red box). Possibly some more if you decide to use the throttle body MAP sensor (third pic) as opposed to the firewall mounted one (fourth pic).

Im dropping in a B18b or just found out today possibly a B18c. If I go with the b can i use a pr4? It looks like OBD1 because it has three separate ecu plugs. Is this right?

just extend the wires from the fan switch in the back the two little nipples things cut them get a two wire plug from anywhere solder them so it plugs to the fan switch on the thermostat housing make sure u dont put them in wrong order or the fan will blow it the oppisite way because b18b dont have the fan switch in the back they have it on the housing...
