Differences: JDM vs. USDM main engine harness
#6
yeah they are the same..
i forgot about this but when i was in high school, a friends dad had an fd the first one i ever seen honestly.. and he popped his motor and he bought a jdm motor from japan. it had wiring and everything with it.. it was idential to the one he took out... duh i cant believe i forgot about that.
by the way that fd i just mentioned.. well its no longer with us... someone stole it and it was found a few days later in a rivine burnt to a crisp!

harness
the problem with the wiring harness between the jdm and usdm is that the computers are mounted in the opposit locations. the jdm is mounted on the left kick panel. the routing would be completly different so unless you want to mount you computer on the opposite car, do not get one.

In any case, you were right about them being not exactly the same. I just came across this thread

but it seems to me that it shouldn't be too much of a problem to modify the harness to work.

^-- yes, they do.
Also, the 96-02 JDM ECU was 16bit, so any wiring harness not from a 92-95 will not work. And from a 92-95, I'd imagine the harness would be backwards...It'd probably have longer cables for some things and cables that are too short for others. What's the problem with buying a USDM harness again?

Yeah I've done it before, you just have to unbolt a couple clips then route the harness to the other side but they are pretty much the same lengths, plus you have to re-pin about 6 or so to mate it to your usdm ecu. Not a big deal though. Also depends what version motor you get 92-95 isn't that heard. There is a thread I made a while back covering this. You also have to redo your throttle assembly to make it work.
