I have a complete doner GSR and I am planning to swap the motor and trans into my 97 civic dx which is NON VTEC. My question is do I have to change the harness from the engine bay to the ecu? And can I use the mounts from the gsr or do I have to buy new mounts?
 

crash!

See if you can get a y8 harness, so it's for that chassis but it has VTEC. Also you need the right ECU (I personally run a P28, but you could run a P72 if you wanted to stay OBD2).
And you can use the motor mounts that are in the car, however you need the rear T bracket for an Si.

I would take the harness from the teg and install it in the Civic.
