Hello guys, new member here. I've been searching for the past few days but I couldn't find anyone else with quite the same issue as me.
I recently bought a really nice EG hatch shell with zero rust and great paint and as a bonus it came with the suspension + a radiator and a steering rack. I got it for really cheap and have always wanted to build a car from the ground up like that.
I have a D15B2 block and from reading around I understand that it's the same as the B7. I also have a Y8 head and plan on assembling a minime and dropping that into the car. I already have a P28 ECU.
My biggest issue is that I'm not sure which wiring harnesses are the best for my case. I'm assuming that the easiest engine loom will be the one from a D15B7 since I won't have to add anything for the injectors as the B7 is MPFI and I will only need to add some wires for the VTEC. The B7 engine looms are also quite cheap and plentiful here.
What should I do for the interior loom? Can I use any interior loom from a 92-95 hatchback? What about the coupes and 4 doors, would they work too? I'm thinking about buying a scrap EG to pull the interior loom and interior plastics and cluster etc from, can I just buy a D15B7 engine loom and any EG hatch trim and mix and match the interior and engine looms? Does the donor car also have to be OBD1 or can it be an OBD0 car?
I'm a bit lost as to what to do and would appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
