You do know that an Integra has a separate automatic transmission control box that would have to be wired up in a Civic chassis... Civic auto trans control is inside the ECU.

So, you are suggesting putting a complete Integra harness (from headlamps to tail lamps... dash wiring and all) so you would have the AUTO transmission control box... and then you would change almost everything else to make it work in the Civic chassis... really ???

I don't think you are grasping the extent of this conversion.

How does just the engine harness help ? The transmission control box is in the cockpit under the dash on the left kick panel.

Do you have a disability and NEED an automatic transmission ?

Buy an automatic Integra OR convert your Civic to manual... that is WAY easier.

Not a "plug-n-play" solution... you would have to manually wire in the transmission control box (which is about 50 wires), use the Integra engine harness, and then add the auto plugs to your Civic chassis harness plugs on the passenger side shock tower... and then terminate all of this wiring where it properly needs to go. You would need the complete chassis wiring diagrams for both the Civic chassis and the Integra chassis. If you could source an Integra automatic chassis, you should extract all of these plugs with as much wiring behind each clip so that you can graft them into the Civic chassis.
