Default need help on swapped crx i might buy

im looking into a Honda crx that has been swapped to a rebuilt 1.6 vtec...ive dealt with mostly accords so here is the question...the guy is telling me it needs the wiring for the ecu that goes with the engine....what wiring is he talking about exactly....a conversion harness?....a new harness from the ecu to the engine?....or a jumper for the vtec stuff....he said it wont run without the new wiring

you need to ask HIM what the car needs...theeen maybe you can ask us how to fix it? orr where to get parts? orr whatever else you need. buut we cant tell you whats wrong with a car we havent seen or know nothing about.

AGAIN...ask him EXACTLY what wiring this car needs to run. HE would know more than anyone else.

I'm sure that you can figure it out once you get the car. but if it doesn't run that is a risk you will have to take not being able to here the motor. Don't you have any friends that know anything about hondas. besides here on H-T?
