Default Got a REX, Got some questions for Honda guys.

I just got my hands on a 89 crx si, its got a d16y7 out of a 96 ek coupe (yeah i know, no v-tak) since the car is obd1 and the motor is out of an obd2 car, what would be the easiest way to get this wired up?

is there anywhere i can get pigtails to convert the plugs or what should i do. this is my first honda, i am gonna run the d16 until i can get my hands on either a b16a3 or a b18b1, depending on if i wanna do LS or v-tec, or LS V-tec.

somebody point me in the right direction

theres lots of companies that make pigtail conversion harnesses, get on ebay, also the factory header will hang differantly, so get ready for that too, when you do obdII into an obdI theres lots of little stuff thats gotta be done, i just got outta the honda game PM me if youve got any questions

looked on honda-tech the other night and worked on the rex for about 4 hours and got it running. still need a lot of work but atleast i know the motor works. it sounds like crap right now because its straight manifold, ordered a set of ceramic headers last night for it.

i will be painting it envy green with black molding and skirts with gold 15X8 xxr 501's.
