ok, im tryin to finish my swap, and i needed a new wiring harness, so i call up a junkyard and they say they have one out of a civic ex, but it is an automatic, and this will be goin in a 5 speed, does that matter?

 

why don't you use your old harness?

 

its not going in my delsol, im putting a GSR in a dx hatch, since the dx isnt vtec, i need a new harness... plus its a JDM motor...

 

So what if its not VTEC... all you have to do is run the 3 or 4 wires for the VTEC Activation man... hell, aren't the EK's already wired for VTEC?

 

since its JDM everything is backward.. so it wouldnt run right on my car, so i just need one... (this is blkDOHCsols lil bro) so im just doing what he told me to do, get a new wiring harness.. i found one locally but its for an automatic.. will everything still hook up right on a 5 speed? thats all i need to know.

 

if your DX is 92 and up, then use the DX harness and run a few wires...

 

u know of any toutorials?

cauze i have been told that i will need a wiring harness out of an ex or si, cauze the people that are helping me put my engine in dont know how to do it themselves...

 

You don't have to re-do the whole harness, you may have to lengthen a few of the sensors but nothing is changed really just because its from a RHD vehicle.

 

yup, u dont really need a new harness. save that $$$ up for something else.

 

hmm.. i myself have never done a swap, im under my brothers name, somthins fucked up where it wont let him log out, so your saying all i have to do is lengthen the wires taht came with my swap? the hondamotorsonline guy just told me to buy either an ex or si harness, my bro and his friends also gave me the same advice.

 

try to connect the sensor to the dx wire harness and u just add the missing wire(vtec) to the ecu(the dx harness)

 

hmm.. like i said im a n00b lil brother, some pictures of this would really help me out, im pretty good with electronics, but havent gotten my feet wet much in cars / car electronics. thnx for the help guys!

even back to my orignal question, will an harness out of an automatic ex work?

^quick bump^

 

i am using a 94 CX harness in my 1994 CX with a B18C1. All i added was 3 wires. 1) knock sensor. 2)VTEC solenoid. 3) VTEC pressure switch.

I am using a Skunk2 manifold so i didn't have to add the wires for the secondaries.

 

for a bigger pic, add a orig.jpg to the image i posted.

 

Huh..........I didnt even know that then adam. I say we just put the ****** in like it is and just try to use the dx harness, we can extend a few wires. Guess you learn something new everyday.........

 

parteh at my house tonite :x i need my car asap

 

free apple juice till midnight

 

Ya man... we are always here when you guys need some info so don't be afraid to ask!

 

Automatic wiring harnesses work too, they just have extra plugs for the solenoids.
