Default Swap, ready to give up.......help!

I am putting a 00 b16a into a 92 cx, I have everything done but the wiring. Why is it so gay! here is what i ran into......

Alternator plugs different, how do i make the injectors work? I tried switching the ends but they don't switch. I'm already ready to quit when i realize....I still have to rig up the distributor, wire the 4 wire 02 sensor, and wire in the vtec system. Does anyone have some help or even some pics, I'm ready to give up, it just makes me pissed, I probably could have wired the car myself quicker than i can rig and swap all this other bs. so i need wiring help.

There's 1 simple fix to your wiring issues --&gt; a 96-01 Integra GSR or ITR engine harness.

If you use this specific OBD2 engine harness, you will only have to wire 1 thing up, the knock sensor. Everything else should plug n' play as long as you retain all of the OBD2 electronical parts on the engine (ie. 00' distributor, injectors, etc). Since you own a 92 civic, VTEC is already embedded in the cabin-to-shocktower harness as is the 4-wire 02 sensor. This OBD2 harness is compatible with all OBD1 civic & integra chassis's.

So, chuck the 92 CX harness and don't even think of using the 00 Si engine harness as it's ill-compatible with any 92-95 civic because of its 1-piece chicken dinner design.

A 96-01 integra GSR/ITR engine harness is the key in you wiring shat.

So a gsr harness plugs right in? does it plug into the car harness? I seriosly need some help with this. I did what people told me to already and it didn't work.

A gsr harness is the fix?

yeah, it will play right in. listen to the man. what ECU you running? the stock b16 one? I would get a OBD 1 ECU (p30, or a chipped p28(p28 you do not have to wire up knock sensor), or a p72) and that will be the easiest and best way OR get a jumper for the OBD2b b16 ECU

Yes, it will plug n' play into your EG's passenger-side shocktower harness. There will be a couple plugs that will be left unplugged/hanging, but that's ok they're useless if you stick to using the chipped P28 you have to power the engine.

You'll have to call or ask around for this harness. They run around $50-200, used I believe.

I dunno what B.S. people have been feeding you, but TRUST me, this is the harness you need. Watch, when you get this harness on and your car starts, you'll wanna kiss me (if i was a girl).

Ok so it's like this....

My chipped P28, the gsr harness, and it is done. That sounds a lot easier then hacking **** up and rigging stuff like others are telling me to do.

So where can i get a GSR harness soon, and maybe cheap?
