What harness are you using now? How is VTEC hooked up? What distributor does the Y8 using now? What ECU will you be using?

If you're pulling the swap out of an actual USDM ITR use the ITR harness, you'll need to run the 2 wires for vtec from the shock tower plug on the passenger's side back to the ECU. Run a chipped and tuned OBD1 ECU (which it sounds like you have anyway)

It sounds like the Del Sol was OBD2. These were rare, but they did exist. They came with an OBD2 P28. Depending what year Type R you had would determine what harness.

The safe bet is to say to use the original harness. You'll already have the VTEC and knock sensor wiring. You may have to pull the cover off the spark plug wires (that plastic cover thing) and put some loom over it, but it should fit that way, especially if you run the wiring through the #1 and #2 intake runners (what I had to do on my GSR motor with ITR style intake using a D16Z6 harness). Both sets of injectors will work, they're the same size dimensionally and in flow. The only potential issue is in alternator and distributor wiring in which the OBD1 and OBD2 are different.

Could you post pictures of the Type R? Maybe it could be fixed? Otherwise, there's a LOT of parts you could use. Front, rear suspension, brakes, cluster, seats....

No actually it doesn't, it's a '93 (OBD1) and an S model (D15B7 or D16Y7 depending on the year) so it sounds a lot more like it's a swapped Del Sol.

It's much easier to just use the ITR engine harness, seeing as how it simply plugs in at the OBD1 shock tower plugs, no modifications necessary, plug and play.
