wiring woes with b16a

i have a b16 in my 90 STD hatch. im having a lot of trouble with the wiring. i got the engine from a 90 CRX Si, so the engine harness is from that car. the problem comes in when i try to wire it. the big circular plug on the injector resistor box doesnt match up to the plug on the body of my hatch. the pin config is different, and the number of pins as well. the body plug has 12 wires, and the engine plug has only 8. also on the passenger side of the engine, the engine harness has an extra plug with 6 wires. i have the other ends of both plugs with enough wire on them to make something up, but i dont know what wires go to what. i have schematics, but they dont help enough. i need to know what each of those wires go to, so i can splice them to each other. its obvious that 12 of the 14 wires go to that 12 wire plug, and the other 2 im assuming are for that one extra sensor that needs to be made up when converting a STD hatch, but i still need to know which one goes to which, since honda couldnt possibly be nice enough to make ALL of this generation have matchin colors in the harnesses.

driver side plug wires match up w/ the si harness before the plug. in other words match color to color. then you have to wire injector #4 direct to the ecu (a7). some of the wires will go to the extra plug on the pass side. also have to rewire the crank angle sesors and the white/red wire on the distrib plug.


blk/ylw - green (pressure reg cut sol valve)
blk/ylw - blu/ylw (eacv)

the dx spindles have to be changed also ex sedan i got mine from a 94lx sedan.

i got all the mechanics down tite, thanks though. the only problem is that wiring. im glad someone knows, i figured out a few of them, those driver side one actually. if was the rest i was iffy about. thanks

nevermind. i figured everything out. the car runs its ass off now

Good news dude! I bet a STD with a b16a is f-a-s-t :cool:

yeah, not so good news. i finally drove it yesterday for the first time, and its like driving a deathtrap. need bigger brakes, the cars mad heavier up front, needs alignment, and to top it all off, i need new tie rod ends, because turning a corner in front of my friends house made one of them come apart. so now it sits there until this afternoon when i can go fix it and bring it home. still not sure this was the best thing to do on my daily driver.

car hauls ass!!!! i fixed all of my problems with the steering, and got the fans to come on. i also got that pesky guage problem under control. now i have to learn to stay below 4000rpm until the engine is broken in. that sucks. still needs more braking....
