Well since you have a 92 SOHC harness and I had a 93 SOHC harness and everything connects into the BP, I would say yes you can use it. But the only thing that I noticed that didnt connect in is the VICS setup in which I have to figure out still.

The I4 swap information for some reason is not in any of the FAQs, but you can find it here:

You will notice it has a good section on the wiring harness. It shows that you will have to add 2 wires for the VICS, and that you should also get a matching ECU.

If work doesn't keep sucking up my spare time I'll get my BP rebuild done in Sept, and I'll let you know if I find any discrepancies. My poor SOHC is making some nasty noises, and I don't think it will last another month, so I'd better find the time... :eek:

Word up.

This is a question for someone who has swapped a BP into a 92 sohc and still used their stock harness and ecu plugs.
What ecu pins do I plug the two VICS wires into?

and can I use the sohc distributor so I can use my stock harness plug? or should I run the fourth wire? and where does that go on the ecu plug?

gonna be doing the swap on labour day. So hit me up with an answer asap!!! thanks everyone
