    I have a 95 EX coupe and have found a good deal on a 95 GSR engine for 1,500 bucks. It was in a car that burnt to the ground, so basically all the wires and sensors are toast!!! What I have found to be left of the engine to be in good shape (hopefully) is the engine, tranny, distributor, and axles. My question is will the GSR ECU plug directly into my 95 EX harness without addind any more wires?? And will any of my sensors off of my 95 EX be compatible with the 95 gsr engine like tps and map and so forth??? Please give me a list of EVERYTHING I'll need for the swap like sensors, wiring harness, etc....... Thank you guys for any help.

    the ecu will plug right in, but you will have to add a wire...
    as far as the sensors go, I don't know on that one... you will be buying some sensors... you will at least need a knock sensor... check out the hybrid board... you should get a better anwer there... http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/

    I believe the engine is a 96 gsr instead of 95. I tried to decipher the VIN number and what I came up with was a 96 gsr!! I can't remember if that's OBDII or not. Here's the VIN number for you guys to decipher: JH4DB8593SS002008 If it's an OBDII engine, how much trouble would the swap be with the wiring nightmare? I believe 94-97 bolt directly in. What about wiring nightmares going from OBDI to OBDII if that's the case??? Thanks for the help

    Careful my friend... if in fact it is an OBD-II swap, you are getting into a whole bunch of treacherous territory.

    I E-mailed you with most of the answers you need.
