D15Y7 Swap Question

Alright...this is a new spin on my old question.
89 Civic Si + Blown D16A6 engine + New D15 (Non Vtech 1.5L) = What kind of hassle?
I asked before, what do I have to do to make a D16Y7 work properly in my civic. I just found out however that the FREE engine I'm getting is a 1.5 so, what do I have to do to make that work properly?

I was told for the D16Y7 I needed to use the stock 89 Civic Si intake, and then just extend some sensor wires to the block, and I assume use the same headers, but what about the 1.5 as it is a smaller engine?
Please advise me as the longer I have to wait for the info, the longer I can only sit in the car which is not running and dream of driving once more.

I've been without my Civic for 3 weeks now and it's killing me!
Thanks All.....

really all that you have to do is to take the intake manifold off of your A6 and attatch it to the Y7...then you need to take the A6 dizzy also, but the thing with this is you might have to modify the lobes on the dizzy to make it fit properly for timing....and the only wire that you will have to extend is the thermostat temp sensor, on the A6 its on the back of the block and on the Y7 its on the theromstat housing next to the starter..you will not have to add any wires assuming that you are gonna use the 89 electronics...:D

yea you would deff need to change the IM cuz if you havent seen one on the y7 it like lays verticle and you would probably wanna use the a6 header because the y7's is funky lookin also and restrictive looking

is the engine you're swapping from a 92-95 CX hatch? if so, it has the "hf" style exhaust manifold, and can be sold on ebay as a "civic turbo manifold" :D
