97 LS b18b1 into 98 civic DX

[treysawyers]

I have a 97 LS b18b1 engine in my 98 civic dx coupe. I need to know which wiring harness is the best and easiest to use. I have seen posts saying that if i use a 96-98 ex manual harness it would fix the iacv wiring plus the vtec wiring. Can i use this same harness but remove the wires for Vtec? everywhere i have looked doesnt have anything on B18b1 engines just the Vtec B series engines. please help thanks

wouldn't the LS and DX harness be the same since they are both obd2, and neither of them have vtec, if so why not use your stock harness.

Yea i spoke to the guy who is supposed to swap the engine in for me today and he said i should use the Dx harness. I still want to be sure for myself though so i dont get any surprises, but he has done many swaps so im sure he is right
