are you supposed to use the 92-95 civic wiring harness
or the b18b1 integra wiring harness for a b18b1 swap into an eg (92-95 civic)

imported_eth0r

the b18b1 works in a EG? i thought they didnt wire up

Jugglez

i have one in my EG. so do alot of others on this forum

<-------------- it looks like this


to answer the original question:

if the B18B1 is OBDI you can use your exisitng Civic harness and run the B18B1 OBDI ecu.

if the B18B1 is OBDII you can either run the Civic harness with some modification to the plugs or run the teg harness from the strut tower. either way you'll still need an OBDI ecu. OBDII is for losers!

it's probably the easiest and cleanest swap into a 5th gen.

"run the teg harness from the strut tower. "
???
i need some explanation please!

the engine is obdII...the ecu is obdI...how do i make it all perfect?

and would the civic harness modification be available for me to read anywhere?

thank you

imported_spl_civic

from the strut tower...
does that mean i have to grab the integra harness that goes from the ecu into the engine bay (top of strut tower) ???

imported_eth0r

jugglez i knew the 94+ could swap with no problems, i was refering to the 90-93, there just as easy??

imported_spl_civic

the b18b1 i have is a '98
with a '94 ecu
damn im still trying to figure this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
should i have used that damn civic harness? if so, i'm gonna have to switch harnesses with the engine in the car

sirhondalot

how much do these engines go for
installed? in an eg?

imported_spl_civic

i'm not too sure about the installed price, cause i did it myself
but you can probably find the full swap for around 2000-2500
anywhere around there

cosmic zx2

yup
but if you're putting a b18a in your car you might want to think of a rebuild first

recap: 98 engine...94 ecu

i tried to run the civic harness today, that alot of ppl have said is plug and play...it ain't that easy
am i supposed to cut plugs off of the ls harness and wire them onto the corresponding part of the civic harness?

jugglez: "or run the teg harness from the strut tower."
-->can you explain this for me please!

need a conversion harness or just plain ol run a OBD1 ECU off a B18B and leave the rest of the wires loose... I don't like that idea, but if you want cheap but still run w/ no CEL, then that's your sol'n. Recap: use obd1 ecu off B18B and plug it in, engine wiring, just splice to appropriate wires if the plugs are diff't... done. Shoulda bought the same OBD generation
