YOu don't need the little one, but you do need the bigger. It is the injector resistor and your car/CA needs this to run properly and/or run at all. SInce you bought a EURO harness, you're going to have to wire that puppy in manually.

i did s13 engine to s14 chassis harness and had little to no experience. if you get a good guide and can follow it, you should definetly be ok. i give this one a 6 / 10

cool thanks guys but one more i actually found the plug for the injector resistor but this is not part the wiring what so ever its actually i guess part of the chassis for the uk model, but on japan model its part of wiring harness, so my next problem. is this onei guess its call the power transistor unit any body have a clue on how that can be wired up or should i just keep shooting for a jap spec ca18harness

man i think a lot of honda projects are more complex than dropping a sr or a ca into a s13. We only need to splice in 3 plugs i think. Got any more pics of your car?

Yeah I had that on a front clip too. I kept it with the swap I did. I thought It was an aftermarket part. Usually if you have that, it should already be connected into your engine harness. The plugs only go one way and only reach a certain point, enough to go to were there suppose to. Other than lengthing some of the plugs to fit into a lhd. That ignitor (power transistor) will be close to your winishield wiper motor.
