- How to Wire Your K Swap Harness for KTuner: Demystifying the wiring for a successful engine.
When you're doing a K series engine swap in your Civic or Integra, you have two common choices for engine management. Hondata or KTuner. regardless of which one you choose you'll need an adapter harness. Most of the adapter harnesses are built for use with the Hondata K-Pro. In this video we show you how to convert those adapter harnesses for use with the KTuner ECU.
It's really not that hard. Brian shows you step by step how to make the changes and explains why. If you are interested in the tools Brian is using for the modifying the harness head on over the the VTEC Academy website and he'll have links to the tools used. You can find it at vtecacademy.com

We definitely need a video on how to add a C101 plug to an accord harness. Or better yet, how to make a conversion harness!
Great info. I’m putting a k24a2 into an ek hatch and ended up picking up a wrecked 06 rsx for the trans, harness and ecu. Opted to go with ktuner since I had all the 06 stuff, and this bit of wiring was the last piece of the puzzle. I went through all the pinouts of the ecu and c101 plug only to realize I could’ve gotten the same information here in much less time. 🤣 still helps to actually see a video of what to do
In your buget kswap build u talk a little bit about the wireing on what to keep and or pull
Was wondering if we could look foward to hearing more on this
How are you hope all Is well ...I recently ran into a problem n was hoping you had the time to help you usually always respond which is a blessing. .I'm having trouble with my alternator not charging the battery it's a 2000 Ek not sure if it's the wiring from the alternator plug or if it's the alternator itself any insight on this would be greatly appreciated thanks again
I'm a bit confused, is this an 05 RSX harness being prepped for ktuner, or a more common 02-04 "conversion harness" being prepped for ktuner?
The 02-04 adapter harness is being modified.
I wish I could get my integra to you to do the video of converting it to countershaft speed sensor! Awesome video tho!
Brian can you do some updates on the fit. i am also doing a fit build and any info would be gladly appreciated
OK
Im waiting to for Ge8 k swap wiring video!
which oxygen sensor do I need for ktuner???
05-06 RSX or 03-07 Accord.
What about k swapped on the S 2000? Have you done a video about that harness
candlelite knight we have not.
@@VTECAcademy I'd like to see that too!
Great video. I'm currently completing a K swap (JDM K24A from an Absolute). I have a 2005 Accord engine harness and I'm using KTuner in a 2005 Accord ECU (RAD-A53). What do I do about the lack of a c101 plug on the engine harness?
You can add one. The connector and terminals are available from Corsa-technic. Another option is to directly wire your adapter harness to the ECU sub-harness. Either way, you will need to run a starter wire since it is lacking on the Accord engine harness.
@@VTECAcademy Any chance you guys can do a guide on adding a c101 plug onto an accord harness?
What's the difference of a engine harness from 2003 Acura rsx type s to 2006 Acura rsx type s are they same
So could you modify the 5 speed selector to a 6 speed and still not use the reverse lockout ?
Yes, you just run the risk of going into reverse.
good day I have a 5 speed 2010 manual accord, I would like to put a 2012 k24z7 Lsd transmission which is 6speed . The problem I have is how do I solve the problem with the reverse lock out I also have ktuner on the accord
Can I send my harnesses out to be connected ? I will cover all cost ?
So if I have a 04 element engine harness I would repin the the conversion harness c101 plug to match the element. Then follow the same step for the rest of this ?
I have 05 accord ecu with ktuner and a 04 element harness with a standard civic conversion harness
K swap in the EF hatchback how much would this differ? Have a 2003 rsx type s engine harness? Thanks guys helps so much appreciate it!!
Will this work for a 03 civic with a d 17 and want to use the KTUNER ecu
Hi I’m doing a kswap on my non efi civic Eg. I have a conversion harness tht is for efi ones. How do I wire up a main relay and fuel pump relay ? What Pin out that power to my ecu ? I have a PND ECU from a rdx type s. Thanks !!!
What is the difference between the 2005 Honda Accord manual and A/T transmission wire harness? I converted my Accord 2 manual now I'm looking to swap the ECU to a manual one what changes do I need to make? Can you please help me out.
Is there any video about changing the pins for kswap 04 wiring to 05-06 and for ktuner i will go for the same video
But in 04 kswap wiring oxygen sensor wires are at diff position and also some other wires position are also diff
Same boat
@@chadfowlie748 got the diagram o4 to 05-06
Nd for oxygen sensor just have to make sure trace the route through dash side swap wiring and engine side wiring by connecting them to each other
Plus you have to put 1 extra wire from plug B to c101 plug for you cluster charge light check on dash side won which pin you got that wire
Great video. Very helpful. I have an issue after following the instructions on a 99 dc2, my tach does not work most of the times (when it does it bounces) in the forward gears and neutral, but works without issue in reverse gear. The Ktuner shows the rpm are stable even when the tach is not working... Any ideas what could be the issue?
Sounds like a loose connection somewhere. The tach signal comes out of the E plug at #25 and should have continuity to the gauge cluster. I don't have a wiring guide here with me, but I believe the wire goes from the adapter harness to the left-hand shock tower and to the gauge. The most likely places that are problems are at the ECU and at the left-hand shock tower.
@@VTECAcademy thanks for the quick response. I suspected as much, so I ran a wire (tapped into E25) to bypass the shock tower plug, same result. Bought a new E25 connector and replaced the old one. Same result. Returned and replaced the ecu (suspected a short on the board on e25 pin) same result. The only thing left now is to change the actual pin on the wire that goes into E25.
Question, why would it work in reverse gear, if there is a problem with the pin or a loose connection at any of the connectors? Seems like there is a grounding issue that occurs in reverse gear that is not there in any of the other gears or reverse... I'm stumped....
@@VTECAcademy hi, i love ur video and of it's possibile I'd like to Ask u a questioni. I want to swap my k24z7 on an old eg, but i Need a budget swap, without hondata or ktuned ecu's.
Do u think it's possibile to swap this motor mantaining the stock k24z ECU(3820-RX0-A14) and using just an immobilizer?
Do you know of anyone making a chassis adapter harness for 92-95 Preludes?
Hi Brian,
I have a 02 to 04 rsx engine harness with a ktuner ecu but i have a problem with the vss not reading..
What do i need to do to fix that problem?
Do I have do the same thing for a 2007 honda fit or is it a different set-up?
Hey
I am looking for a adapter wire harness to fit 2008 Acura TSX ECM to connect to 2010 Acura CSX wire harness to connect to the tsx ECM
Hi I plan to use a K24A1 from a CRV manual 5speed awd in my EK 98-96 chassis and I want to know if I can use the crv enginae harness with the K swap conversion harness please
Can u guys do a kswap on 95 accord and do conversion harness diy
I’ve got a CRV, k24a1, manual throttle body, and I want to put in a k24a3 (audm version of k24a2), and adapt my wiring harness to suit the new k24a3/2…
What issues will I run in to, if any?
If you use the A3 intake manifold, then you'll need an Accord T-body. The wire lengths will be different for some stuff and the TPS wiring will need to be modified by switching the outside wires.
What size are the pins and seals for a k series harness?
I am doing a k20z1 swap for my eg . so I could use same method to repin k20a2 ecu conversion harness to work on k20z1 stock ecu ( I bypass the immobilizer) right?
Is the ep3 harness the same as the rsx harness
Iam working on 91 ef k20a2 and i pick up a 03 ep3 harness looking for in site on that or if i need to pick a new one
Where did you get the pins?
Links to the tools please
TrackSol the post with the links will be available later tonight on vtecacademy.com 👍🏽

@@VTECAcademy good day i have a 2002 acura rsx an i planning on using the ktuner ecu does that work also in the 2002 rsx
Is this only gor ktuner ecu?
I have a 2005 M/T Accord harness and ecu. I’m swapping a k20/24 into an EK. I have 2 questions:
1. What changes do I need to make to the harness to use K Tuner?
2. Can i install an “in-ecu” ktuner board or is that ecu reflash only?
I'm currently in the same predicament. Brian stated you can use the accord wiring harness with modifications but I'm also wondering what those modifications are. I'm stuck also!
@@413speed4 have you figured it out yet? I have the same issue and cant find any info on the accord harness. I already have everything ready for the swap but this wiring is holding me back. I have 05 accord motor, trans, harness, and ecu that i want to put in my ek hatch.
@@MegaHomieJ easiest thing you can do is buy an automatic rsx harness and convert that over. Thats what I had to do. Got the whole harness for $40 and found the pinouts and swapped all the necessary wiring
@@413speed4 thank you so much
There isn't one. You have to build it the information is in another video
Do you offer these pre-made for the 05/06 Rsx harness with ktuner?
Hamotors does for $215
Does anybody know where the VSS is located 2005 Honda Accord m/t ECU? It's not E26
is there a video coming soon so ya could due this to the 2002 acura rsx to use ktuner
Please
can you use a crv engine harness
Yes u can
Will this work for a 03 accord
Yes
What about ep3 stock 05
Is the pin lay out the same in a EM1 as a Ek??
Not exactly. There are differences between models and between 96-98 and 99-00.
@@VTECAcademy what brand of conversion harness are you using in these video
How about efchassis?
Is that the 96-98 civic hasport conversion harness?
Yes, and you can order it already converted.
@@VTECAcademy ok thank you
What are the differences when doing this between the 96-98 and 99-00 sub harness or is it exactly the same?
So im in the process of installing 05-06 base complete engine harness and all in 97 ek and i wanted to use ktuner are there any changes i need to make to the acuall harness too?
@@wiredimports installing it is the same the difference is how the subharness is wired internally
can this work to a 2002 acura rsx so you can use ktuner?
You'd need to make changes to the engine harness too.
@@VTECAcademy ok so if I due this wiring to my 2002 rsx under the dash an use a 2006 rsx engine harness can I be able to use ktuner ecu in my 2002 rsx
Where can we buy those connectors from
cycleterminal.com
What size are the connectors
@@VTECAcademy t
I can do that.
Hon D-boy oh yeah, it’s totally doable. 👍🏽
Hello Good episode,
I'm working on a K series swap and I need some advise where to begin on a ECU and harness. Can you provide a email or number to contact you guys. Thanks
