Hello everyone, I am in the process of buying the parts I need to K swap my Honda Civic ES1 and I am wondering which engine harnesses I can use. Where I live there are not many Hondas or Acuras and there are even fewer in the junkyards, so my options for parts are a bit limited. In the 4 years I lived here I have seen about 3 RSX's and 2 Civic EP3's and exactly zero in any junkyards, so my options for parts are a bit limited.
Right now I am looking for an engine harness for my K24A2 TSX motor. I am wondering if I can use a harness from an 03-07 Accord or a CRV or Element since those are the cars I can actually get an engine harness from around here. I know that the CRV harness can be used at least for a K24A1 swap with the CRV ECU since I have read about a couple people doing it, but I am not sure if that would work for a K24A2 swap. Not sure about the Accord harness, I can't find a decent picture of what connectors it has on it. I know it will connect to everything on the motor and plug into a regular K series ECU, but whether it has the same pinout and same kind of plug for the dash harness I have no idea.
I know people usually use the 02-04 RSX or EP3 harness for this swap, but as I said I can not get those harnesses locally and they are very expensive on eBay so I would really rather not buy one unless absolutely necessary as that would use up a significant chunk of the money I have saved up towards this swap, so if I can get away with a cheaper harness I would much rather go that route. If I have to repin some connectors or something to make it work that's fine, I just need something that works for as cheap as possible.
Thanks in advance as always, any info is greatly appreciated!
