1996 Honda Civic Cx with a stock d16y7.(sold everything but the harness)

Want to put a 99' B16a2 swap into the Civic.

I have the B16a2 motor, Harness, Ecu, Axles, Shift Linkage.

The B16a2 is already into the car, I just want to know what needs to be done harness/ecu wise to have this motor running with working vtec and throwing no codes. I have now heard many thing from all different kind of people and do not know whose right or wrong, Im a obd0 Crx guy. I want this done right the first time. Let me see your input.


-No, i do not want to buy a obd2b to obd1 conversion harness and a obd1 ecu and chip it to b16 specs, i want to run the B16a2 ecu it came with.

-i heard i have to buy a obd2b to obd2a conversion harness, take apart the b16a2 harness and y7 harness(vtec,etc) and make one harness together, then run the b16a2 ecu and everything will be fine and the dash harness will work.

-i heard that just using everything from the b16a2(harness,ecu) and everything will work fine and i do not need the obd2b to obd2a conversion harness.
