ive got a question on the engine harness from a d16 and a b16, wolud a d16 vtec harness work on a b16 engine and vise versa? if it does would it just be plug and play?

lnxmad · 04-23-2007, 12:14 AM

What version of the b16 are you putting in? The JDM B16a sir II, all you need to do is run a wire for the knock sensor. thats for OBD1 for OBD2(B16a2 - 99 SI) you need to run a few more wires. But the harness will work with some modifications. Nothing like wiring an h22 =p IMO

Yes if it's an sir2 engine...the d series with vtec will work. You will need to extend your o2 sensor wire and if I am not mistaken the intake air temp wire as well. You will also need a different throttle cable then what came with the d series, needs the b16a3 throttle cable (delsol)...at least I did (I swapped from a d16z6to b16sir2 obd1). The vtec pressure plug will be unused on the d series harness and you will need to pin in a knock sensor to the ecu. No knock sensor on the d16 engine or harness.

I heard you can just modify the existing bracket on the D series throttle cable to make it work. This true?

TheManRSW · 04-23-2007, 12:22 AM

You have to extend the bracket and drill new holes for the cable to mount. This is what I ended up doing for a while because I wanted the engine in right away and didn't feel like waiting for the throttle cable to come in. Have since changed...just because. The bracket worked fine, though.

lnxmad · 04-23-2007, 12:25 AM

heh, Ill be doing that

RedEh3 · 04-23-2007, 08:32 PM

whats a good price for an engine harness?

lnxmad · 04-23-2007, 08:37 PM

junk yard

TheManRSW · 04-23-2007, 08:55 PM

Harnesses are retarded expensive. I looked into getting a usdm b16 harness and my jaw hit the floor when I heard the price (over $500 from the dealer). I think the junkyard would definitely be the way to go just as lnxmad said.

TheManRSW · 04-23-2007, 08:56 PM

d16z6 or any d16 vtec harness will suffice. You just have to extend a couple of wires and pin in a knock sensor to the ecu. D-series harnesses are relatively easy to find in most junkyards.

92b16vx · 04-23-2007, 09:02 PM

If you route it right, you don't have to extend the wires (except o2). If you are really patient, you can unloom it all, and rewrap it to fit perfectly.

RedEh3 · 04-23-2007, 09:18 PM

so is $100 bux good for one?

For an OEM B series wiring harness? Yea, it's pretty good. I'd rather just do teh work myself, but if you aren't patient, that's a good price. Becareful though, I have seen quite a few D series harness get sold as B series.

TheManRSW · 04-23-2007, 09:20 PM

I would say yes, I mean if you look around long enough you may find one cheaper. I don't think 100 is that bad, though.
