Don't listen to this ^^^ NOOB ^^^ ... just use the harness from YOUR CAR and add what is necessary to complete the DPFI to MPFI. ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED IN THE FAQ... you NEED to learn how to SEARCH!!!

depending on how knowledgeable you are with wiring. you can get another DX harness, convert to mpfi and add wires for vtec and knock sensor. or you can get an Si Engine and Dash Harness and add the missing vtec and knock sensor.

Or you can contact Rywire and ask them for a DX to Vtec wire conversion harness or DX to OBD1 vtec harness and call it a day

or you can go to the local junkyard find the si counterpart to your car. spend about an hour or so and remove the entire harness from the car and only pay about 30.00

thats what it cost me and i took the ENTIRE car harness from a 91 crx si. i even have a sunroof switch with oem harness for it, but no sunroof in my dx

See... you did not do your homework Little Johnny...USDM 88-91 CRX's and Civic's are OBD-0... YES THAT MEANS ALL OF THEM... so what are you trying to do again? Wait what's that? Go OBD-1 you say? Well then, what do you think the answer is?

Lol again you stick your foot in your mouth,1st I never asked what it was,I know its obdo like I said apperantly you did understand its a crx ecu and what wait what is a crx obdo that's right,I asked if I should keep it or not since I have never heard of obdo being chipped or if it would be better to run a jumper harness and use a p28 buddy,

Don't get me wrong I thank you for the help even tho you don't answer non of the question but read before you post because then you'll be spending time taking your foot out your mouth

Or if you want to do the obd1 you will need more items:
obd1 b16 distributor
4 wire o2 sensor
obd1 p30, obd1 pr3, chipped p28 or the hard to find p61
obd0 - obd1 adapter harness

1.) Thank you for paying attention to me.

2.) OBD-0 can easily be chipped and tuned. (There are much more options and capabilities with OBD-1 though.)

3.) I would never go back on something I said. I know it all, just ask me.

4.) There I answered a question of yours.
