You can't just change injector plugs because that's not even the issue. If you changed the plugs to run high impedance injectors then you'd need to rewire out the resistor box which isn't a big deal, it's just totally unnessecary. The main thing you do need to change is the distributor to an OBDI or OBDII one (they're both internally the same, just use whatever connector you need). Besides that you'll need to make or buy a nonOBD-OBDI jumper.

Contact Blown90hatch. He makes excellent conversion harnesses and gives excellent tech support. He will also beat any advertised price. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=997093

If you're fairly comfortable with wiring and you understand most of the basics on a Honda you shouldn't have a problem at all. I converted my friend's Rex ~3 years ago to OBDI and at that time no one was even really making jumpers. Just take your time on setting up the harness and you shouldn't have any problems. Again I've posted this a ton of times but here's what my jumpers and reworked nonOBD harnesses look like. I'm extremely **** about this kind of **** tho...

Will's (WillieWillieFast) Rex harness torn apart with a few new extra connectors and VTEC stuff...

Completed nonOBD-OBDI jumper

All Done

Kataku2k3 gets for that harness. That's excellent work. It looks much better than my rat's nest . Is that a 2/3 bar pigtail and connector I see as well?

I used wire nuts at first to check my work. After I was code free I soldered everything and used heat shrink tubing.

Heat gun+soldering iron+1/4" heat shrink tubing=very clean install

If you get a harness from blown90hatch the difficulty would be 2.

Thanks, yea that's a GM MAP connector. Will used this harness for one season with his B16 turbo motor and Hondata. With his new motor we're running Motec so we'll see how clean I can make that harness...
