DelSolSweetie Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 OVERHEAD CAM means the cam is in the head use search and see if they make a conversion harness **I am not agreeing with EK Hatch** I am not 100% sure of what would be needed of the top of my head ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me_in_jax Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 thx you have been very helpfull found a complete head. need to find a harness and an ecu any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 you need the ecu from the same car the head came from and matches your transmission. the head should have come from an ex civic, and if your car is manual you need a ex/manual ecu, or ex/auto ecu depending on your car.
