Wiring a Grey Plug B18A, into a 88 CRX Si
Would swapping sub harnesses work?
You have two choices that make the wiring SO easy.
1. Get a 90-91 ECU (PR4). Get a 90-91 Distributor (white plugs). Take your Si harness and plug it into your B18a.
2. Get a Conversion harness from Blown90Hatch($170). Get a 92-95 LS ECU (P74 or P75). Follow his instructions. Re-Pin your grey plug distributor (not as hard as you think). Plug in your CRX Si harness to your B18a.
This is generally how you can do things. You will most likely run into small problems along the way though. Count on it. We all do.

Actually, a 1992-1993 ECU is a PR4. Not a P74/P75. Those did not come into the picture until 1994. As for the wiring conversion, you could also do it yourself. I posted wiring charts some time ago on resource.crx.org. I am not sure they are still there. But there are other places to find such charts (Hasport, etc.). Rewiring is preferable to using 1990-1991 stuff because (1) you already have the 1993 ECU and don't have to buy another ECU AND distributer, (2) the motor will run better and make more power with an ECU tuned to run it rather than one tuned to run a motor with 10 less HP (specifically, the 1990-1991 Integra PR4 ECU), and (3) if you live in California, you will be legal.
Every one is right.....
Hondata says both... weird
I have a PR4 and it has OBD1 connectors

just use th 90/91 teg dist and the 90/91 ecu it requires the least thought. Theres no advantage to the 92-93 dist anyway??
Well I'm asking this question aobut a friend, whose car I'm helping with. He INSISTS on swapping sub harnesses, so essetnially he'll have an 88 CRX with OBD I, but whatever floats his boat.... But this will work, correct?
