92 DX auto to ls/vtec 5 speed wiring Q's
Guys, I'm a lost puppy when it comes to wiring. I have a 92 dx auto that I'm gonna be running a B18b1 with gsr head and swapping to 5 speed. What kind of mess do I have to look forward to to get this thing going?
I've been doing some reading and hearing about a knock sensor I might have to add? Also the distributor needing to be changed?
I've never been into wiring, but for this swap I want to make sure I do it right. How hard is this gonna be?

I haven't looked at the ecu, and my wife took the car to work (it's not here). I guess the auto thing is seperate from the actual wiring I will need to do for the swap, I was just trying to figure out how much is on my hands with this one.
Like, I could run a chipped p06 or whatever, but what about the actual differences in the harness. What I will have to use/change.

Especially since its an auto now. I'm sure theres some sensors for that auto tranny on the ecu harness that I won't need for the new motor/tranny, I'm just trying to get the facts straight.

Re:92 DX auto to ls/vtec 5 speed wiring Q's
rule #1 of doing swaps, always use the original harness
as far as you ecu, it should be a p06 and can be converted to vtec, but i'm not sure about converting it to manual.
my suggestion would be get a manual ecu (p28, p05, or p06), none of these ecu's will look for a ks, the only one that will is a p72 and p30 (which are expensive as ---- anyways). you have to use an obd1 b series dizzy and run a couple wires to the ecu for vtec, that's it.

just repin the "auto tranny sensor wires" for use w/ the vtec wiring if u need to.

how do you convert them to manual? i wasn't sure it could be done, if so what it involves. you got a link to a write up or something?
