Default GSR into EK Breakdown. Wiring/Mounts

Going to be ordering a B18C from HMO. They sell years from 94-97 which I'm assuming I should get anything higher than 1996 since my car is OBD2, and just easier to keep it there. I know I have to changed the basic: all fluids, rotor, belt, water pump, tension pulley.

As far as wiring, I guess that depends on the motor. I want to use the stock ECU I'll be equipped with from the teggy 96-97. How can I make my stock 99 DX harness work? Should I just upgrade to a 99-00 EX harness? I want to make this a plug and play as possible. If I need a conversion harness to make it so, which one?

I know I can use my stock motor mounts, just need to acquire that rear T mount from a 99-00 SI. Also can I reuse all my hoses from my car (D16Y7)?

I'm ordering the complete change over for the B18C so they're going to include motor/tranny/ecu/axles/mounts/engine harness/shift linkage/etc. so the stock gsr axles will do correct? Do I need to change anything from the civic's end to use the teggy axles?

Thanks in advanced!

Use everything they give you. I believe you can use your harness but will have to wire for VTEC, just google to be sure

1.use your harness and add the wiring for VTEC, knock and IABs
2. Convert to 2 wire IACV
3. Place your intake air temp sensor into your intake arm
4. Distributor adapter
5. Extend 2nd 02
6. If its a JDM b18 bypass the CKF at the crank

1. Do I need to find the male/female plugs for these 3 plugs and then wire them straight to the slots of the ECU?
2. Was my original harness setup a 3 wire IACV? If so, which wire am I eliminating or fusing together.
4. Distributor adapter, am I basically just searching for a OBD2B to OBD2A dizzy plug adapter?
5. Where is the 2nd 02 sensor located in my vehicle? I upgraded the header in my Y7 and used a 98 EX cat and extended my 02 sensor to that. Would that be the sensor your talking about?
