You gonna convert the dpfi harness? I don't think the si harness will plug in. And the dash harness will need to be modified for it to fit. I think one of the plugs is different. I havent done this in a while so I may be wrong lol someone correct me if I'm wrong

You NEED to convert your stock engine harness. The Si/EX harness will be helpful to cut the plugs from. it will NOT plug into your car.

Dude just mod the harness you already have, it will be a lot easier than replacing all the harnesses.
