Default k20a into an EM1

im thinking of upgrading to a k20a engine and got a few NOOB questions. i got a 00 civic SI

3. when i do change the underdash wiring harness, do i have to change the entire wiring harness or just the ends of the one that i currently have in my car??

Yes it can be done. Yes you need to change your wiring harness. Yes it's VERY EXPENSIVE $6K plus, and yes you need much more knowledge if you plan on doing this yourself.
