Default b20 ef hatch swap engine harness help

first time ever doing a b20 swap into a ef. its for a friends car. i got pretty much everything in except for the engine harness problem. we picked up a 90-91 harness. everythings pretty much plugs up except the one that connects from the engine bay to the ecu. like one of the clip fits but the other dont. i like to know what am i suppose to do? (theres a PIC if you scroll down)

THE SET UP:
integra da axles & halfshaft
innovative steel mounts (hydro tranny)
hasport cable to hydro conversion kit
ls intake manifold
90-91 engine harness
integra da spindles
jdm gsr tranny
b20b4 longblock
custom shift linkage
rywire obd0 to obd2 alternator conversion
rywire obd0 to obd1 distributor conversion
rywire obd0 to obd1 harness conversion
p75 obd1 ecu

you HAVE to use the harness that goes to the car.....not one for the engine or one from an acura integra

You use the dpfi engine harness and convert it to mpfi and then it all plugs right in! Check my sig. For my right up for doing the wiring

man you bought alot of rywire shizz...wayy easier to depin the plugs you already have. the ecu harness is a must tho. okay you have to use the dpfi engine harness that goes to this car. add 4 wires and convert it to mpfi. theeeen add plugs as needed to fit the b20. ya feel me? ya know like lengthen the fan switch wire and put an obd1 plug on the harness side. add your 4 wire o2 wiring...aaand so on

you do realize that the obd0 to obd1 alternator jumper was plain useless. especially since obd0 and obd1 alternators are a direct plug n play set up. they have the exact same plug.

if the car is properly converted, then usethe harness that came with the car. if the harness is missing, get a harness that matches the car and convert

no, you will have to source another dpfi harness and convert it to mpfi.

If you can't do the conversion yourself you can always buy a conversion harness
