Did you get the hydro or cable b16a (160hp or 170 hp)? Because one swap has more details to it than the other.

i got the b16a hydro tranny 160hp, i actually just looked at my harness and the wires on the engine it doesnt look too hard but i saw that sopme of the cables arent on the harness i think..... like there is a light brown wire coming off the engine but theres not one on the harness and i was looking at the vtec noid(abbr) and theres a wire coming from it but where would that wire hook into??? see its just little things on it.... i mean i still have to get tranny and ecu but i just want to know so that i do know...

You should be able to use your stock harness with a little modifcation of the Vtec. Here's how that's wired up: http://www.allmotorhonda.com/techpag...ies-wiring.htm
Other than that it should just go right in with no problems.

There is a little more to the wiring than that (as far as the actual work goes),but anyway the brown wire coming off the motor is the ground wire,it goes to the chassis.

alright now i seen where that goes coo coo thx for advice.....now im thinkin the place where i get hooked up with my stuff im thinking of having them put it in cause they have my tranny and clutch and it would cost almost the same for them to do my clutch and then me put in my engine for them to just put my engine in and the tranny and clutch be included in price to install!!! so i may just have them go ahead and do it and ima drop off my car....

It's obviously up to you what motor you get, but why not get the JDM motor (170hp) intsead of the USDM motor (160 hp)? A lot of places online have both motors for the same price. But that's just my thought.
