My car started life as a civic HB STD. I have a B16 in it now and I used the original Dual Point wiring harness, converted to MPFI. I have an entire SI harness that I would like to put in. My question is: if I use the engine harness from the SI, do I need to use the entire harness. Yes I know this is a PITA to do, but I am swapping the SI dash, and interior into my STD also.

Yes you need to use the whole harness unless you plan on swapping out all the wires and plugs on the chassis harness cause the Si engine harness wont plug into the STD. chassis harness. As for it being a PITA, If your planning on swapping everything anyway it wont be hard at all. I just got done (well a few weeks ago) swapping out the entire (chassis, rear, and dash) harnesses (DX to Si) and it wasnt that bad at all. I would say the worst part would be taking everything and I mean everything out. But if you follow your old harness with the new one once you get everything out it will be a breeze. Probably the hardest parts were first taking out all the sound deadening material along the firewall and second would be running the door harnesses which wasnt that bad actually but other than that it was pretty simple but kind of time consuming.
