Default 1993 hatch with b16a2 engine harness

OK I recently bought a 1993 Civic hatchback shell. the previous owner throw in a D16z6, then i got a decent deal on a b16a2 out of a 2000 si. I have every thing figured out regarding the B16A2 swap except for the engine harness. I have researched and have found conflicting information....

There's what i think:

2000 si harness ODB 2 one piece- can't use

d16z6 harness ODB 1 connects to the shock tower - I will have to change injectors, alt, dizzy, run vtec wire from ecu and extend some wires

ODB 2 integra connects to the shock tower - injectors, alt, and dizzy are good
cost $100 to $150

so the easiest option is to buy the odb 2 integra harness

am I right?

Thank you for the help
( my first HONDA)

Re use your Z6 harness.

Use a OBD2 to OBD1 distributor conversion.

Use a OBD1 ECU. Stock JDM B16A ECU will work, but you'll have a 110mph speed limiter...or a chipped P28 will work. Or a OBD1 Del Sol B16A3 ECU (HA!! Good luck).

If you are using a NON chipped ECU, you need to make a 1 wire subharness for knock. And extend the IAT wires and solder the OBD2 plug onto them. The B16A2 IAT sits in the intake arm. Alternatively, you can use a ITR/CTR/OBD1 B16 intake manifold and IAT and reuse your Z6 IAT plug.

Those two connections are the only changes you'll need for your Z6 harness.

Since I'm a helpful person...I will direct you to make sure you have the right driver side mount and bracket combo.

Everything above is correct, however I repinned the distributor to OBD1 plugs rather than buy a conversion harness.

Make sure you don't get the IACV, IAT, and Evap control plugs mixed up or you burn up expensive *** sensors. *doh*

These two pics got me through my swap.

You'll want to reuse your Z6 injectors. For your alternator you can use any OBD1 b series alternator OR swap to an OBD2 alternator plug. You'll have a plug by the crank which is the CKF sensor, ignore that.
