EK B16A2 Swap

I just put the engine in and everything looks good but I need help doing the wiring.

I know that the B16a2 is an OBD1 and my has an OBD2 so I will need an OBD1 to OBD2 Harness

Question 1.) Where can I get the harness in the GTA ares?

Question 2.) What do i need to do to the wiring? The engine I got comes with the ECU.

It'll be really nice if someone can get me a step by step write up. I've search already by it seems everyone are having trouble doing the wiring.

So I am guessing after i get the Harness It's plug & play? Going to tune with Hondata so OBD2 will not be a problem.

b16a2 is obd2 not obd1
your car right now is obd1 if its a 93 civic
turning it to obd1 is better cuz its easier to tune and you dont need 2 o2 sensors.
the easiest way is to get a conversion harness and use that the harder way is to switch injectors, distributor etc...

dont need to do anything except add wires for the vtec and extend a couple of wires to reach the sensors if your using the stock harness everything else is plug and play. if your using the b16a2 harness then its all plug and play.
