Default Wiring obd1 to obd0 in an ef civic

I recently installed a b18b1 into my ef civic thinking there was jumper harnesses for the shock tower plugs but was proven wrong.
My question is is there a schematic diagram to show me what wire is what or something of this nature so that i can stop pulling my hair out?

The b18b1 is out of a 95 acura integra if that helps Thanks

You use the engine harness from your stock engine and a jumper harness at the ECU.

That doesn't work as i only have the stock acura harness for the b18b1 and the shock tower harnesses on the ef civic do not plug in to them so i am looking for wire color codes so i can re pin clips to match up

I wouldn't be on this site if it was as easy as searching google for answers i thought thats what this site is for ?
All i need is wiring diagram for 95 acura integra non v tech b18b1 engine harness and wiring diagram for 91 civic ef shock tower harness at both shock towers so i can match them up but it seems like it is a well kept secret so i am asking you as a last resort

This info is hard to come by because nobody would go through that work cutting and splicing wires when all you have to do is get an EF harness and just plug and play.

I'm interested in this too. As in trying to figure out the same thing.

Using the ef harness does not make sense i would have to change every single conection at the engine because the ef is pre obd and the b18b1 is obd a little research says this will not work either my only choice is to cut and splice or splice in new conection clips and pin them accordingly

I guess you have never actually worked on a honda before. The sensor locations are very similar. If you want to do things "your" way then keep doing whatever it is you are doing, and go buy the wiring guides for the engine and the car.

Most of us do it the way that has worked for twenty plus years, plug the stock harness into the shock towers then fit the harness to the engine. in this case you will need to relocate and change the plugs on the cooling fan switch, re-pin the distributor plugs, and then everything else will almost perfectly fit. Least wise that is how it worked when I did a B20z into a 1989 CRX, a GSR into a 1990 civic...amd guess what it works teh same with other swaps, like the multiple H series swaps into civics i have done, as well as other B and F series swaps.

^ Agreed.

OP, swaps have been done this way countless times. What you're planning will just be torture, for no reason.

if your car is not an Si model hatch or EX model sedan, you will also need to convert the wiring from DPFI to MPFI

Definitely just go the easy route no sense in torturing yourself for a simple fix.
