i'm not sure about usdm but from what i can tell in jdm (pretty similar i should imagine) you need to just rewire one plug at the fusebox as they use a different type of plug but wire colours are the same

and do the resistor change in the tacho
i'm sure someone here has a link to that somewhere

I know about the tacho - thats covered under the conversion notes page i pasted above - but i thought you had to use the whole 7M-GTE loom because it uses a coil pack and different ignition?

of course hence you need to change the body harness plug as 7mgte harness don't fit 7mge body harness

Damn - now *i'm* confused!!
