Default Another B20 Question

Thanks for the input in the last post. But if decide to go with a 92'-95' Civic coupe will i need to splice the harness because that is something i dont want to do, and if i go with either an EK Hatch or a 96' to 99' Civic Sedan (I want something a little different) will the harness that comes with the B20Z/B plug right into the Civic's harness and will the LS ECU plug into the Civics connectors. Thanks for the help

One more little question, would an LS swap be a better choice than a B20? which powerplant makes more HP & TQ?

b20 makes more hp and torque, but b18b is a lot stronger motor, so if you plan on boost or anything like that, go with the b18.

You wont need to splice anything. If you use the 92-95 civic u would use the OBD1 LS ECU, If u use 96-00 civic you would use OBD2 ECU. I agree with sacicons. My LS is turbo'd and has been runnin strong for over a year now runnin 10-15 PSI.

you could always go dfifferent with an old school 88-91 civic wagon, and get a www.rywire.com harness built so you just put it in, plug it in, and drive away.

Ok, I will probably go with a B18B but will that plug right in w/ no splicing and still use an OBD1 LS ECU. thanks

If i can manage to sell my Accord for 5700 is that enough to buy a Civic hatch and do an LS swap or a B20 swap w/ the axles and all that?
