  • Page 2 A little bit of K-series information to make sure you have the right parts before you get started! While the Hybrid Racing Conversion Wiring Harness is 99% plug-n-play, there are a few wires that need to be connected after the harness has been installed into the car. Because it involves electricity, there is always the risk of damaging electronic devices, such as fuse boxes, ECU’s and sensors among other...
  • Page 3 Please use the ECU that is most suitable for your engine. For example, if you have a K20A2 from an 02-04 RSX it is best if you use a K20A2 PRB ECU! No other ECU’s will work with the immobilizer box and the Hybrid Racing harness. 3. JDM TYPE R PRC ECU.

  • Page 6: Install Guide

    Install Guide STEP 1: Pop the hood of your car and remove the battery, bat- tery tray and unbolt the fuse box. You do not have to disconnect the wires going into the fuse box. We just want to make sure we can move it out of the way to gain access to the hole in the firewall that you will be running...
  • Page 7 Install Guide STEP 4: Next run your engine harness connectors through the firewall. Secure the grommet back into the firewall and use a little electrical tape to wrap the grommet to the K-series engine harness. Once this is done you can reinstall your fuse box and battery tray.
  • Page 8 Only use this page if you have a 1992-1995 Civic or 1994 Acura Integra OBD1 chassis. Find and lo- cate the three wires that come off of the Hybrid Racing conversion harness at the ECU E PLUG. These wires should be GRN/YEL, GRN/RED & GRN/ORN.

  • Page 15 Install Guide STEP 19: Connect the GRN/ WHT wire on the HR conversion harness to ONE wire on the fan switch sensor connector. The other wire on the fan switch sen- sor connector gets grounded to the chassis. You can locate this connector on your OEM STOCK engine harness, you will need to cut and remove it.
  • Page 16 One of, if not the most important sensors on the K series motor is the A/F ratio sensor. This sensor is located in the factory exhaust down pipe, closest to the motor. This is often called the “primary o2 sen- sor”...
  • Page 17 STEP 23: Secondary Oxygen Sensor If you are running a KPRO ECU you can SKIP THIS STEP. You will need to source this connector from your OEM engine harness make sure to leave 2-3in of wire for you to make all of your connections. Unlike the primary AFR sensor, the secondary o2 sensor is not necessary in most cases.

  • Page 20 STEP24: Hondata KPRO Setup Guide page 3  Once the ECU is connected to the PC, click on new calibration at the top left hand corner of the screen.  What engine setup you have will determine what map you upload at this point. For the purpose of this guide, we will upload a stock calibration to a vehicle equipped with a K20A2 swap.
  • Page 21 STEP24: Hondata KPRO Setup Guide page 4 Step 3. Making changes to a calibration  Once a calibration has been opened, you can now edit the values and settings. Since we are fo- cused on uploading a stock calibration, we will not cover the steps on how to tune the car. For more information on functions not listed, please refer to the Hondata software help guide.

  • Page 28: Troubleshooting And Faqs

    Trouble Shooting and FAQ’s As stated in the introduction section, this harness requires the use and handling of electricity and electri- cal components. When trouble shooting or dealing with electrical wires, assume every wire has power and the potential to cause a short or fire. If you are not familiar or comfortable with wiring, please in- volve the necessary professionals to trouble shoot a problem.
  • Page 29 Trouble Shooting & FAQ’s cont’d “My car doesn’t crank when I turn the key on!?” How the circuit works! Your engine has a starter that gets its power from the battery. The motor has to be grounded in order for the starter to engage. If you do not have grounds on the engine, the starter won’t do anything. WE SHOULD INCLUDE WHAT WIRES THEY NEED TO CHECK FOR THE STARTER SIGNAL WIRE HERE.
  • Page 30 “My speedometer doesn’t work!?” How the circuit works! The K series speed sensor is located on the transmission case and gets its power and ground from the engine wiring harness. When the car moves, the speed sensor gear spins, outputting a pulse. That pulse is transmitted through the engine wiring harness to the ECU and gauge cluster assy.
  • Page 31 How it works! K series motors are extremely affected by the A/F ratio sensor, if the primary A/F sensor is not connect- ed, it will affect performance and fuel economy. These error codes are related to the primary o2 sensor and are common when the sensor is either not present, connected improperly or if the proper sensor is not present.
