Part list for D16Z6 Swap

[KoDKingVegeta]

I no your all tired of reading this, but I really need to finish my parts list so I can get the stuff I need.

D16Z6 Motor
5 Speed D Serious Cable Tranny
Wiring Harness
-----------------

I no I need half axels and an ECU, but Im not sure what ECU to get or what half axels to get, Im also not sure what motor mounts to use. Someone told me to get a P28 Ecu so it would active the VTec, but Im not really sure.

If anyone can help me, then I would be very thankful.

Dx/Si axles
P28 ecu will work
You need to convert your harness to obd-1
Stock d-series mounts
stock shift linkage

I have an extra set of DX half axels, u say that will work? How do I convert my harness to obd-1? I was told I can leave it obd0. Thats why I would need the P28 ECU.

Or was it to leave it obd0 I would need to replace the disributor, and run an MSD rpm switch to the Vtec?

If you are using a dx/si trans then dx axles will work fine. You also need to make sure that you have dx/si hubs.

You can buy a conversion harness and do the wiring yourself or you can send your engine harness to bambam or rywire and have them do the conversion for you (i recommend this).

If you leave it obd-0 then your gonna have to run an si dizzy. The si dizzy doesn't bolt up 100% to the Z6 head, only 2 out of three bolts actually fit.

A p28 ecu is obd-1 so your definitely gonna have to convert to obd-1 to run it. If i were you, trying to run a Z6, i would convert to obd-1.

My car is a DX, so can I use my hubs? And how much would it cost to send out my harness to have the conversion done?

Also I no this is a P28 ECU, but would you recommend gettting this. Or if I get this would I still need to have my harness converted?

That's overkill for a stock engine, you only need a chipped ecu if you're adding performance mods (I'm not talking about intake, exhaust or header either).
Here's the link for Rywire.com's harness. You'll also need to do the mpfi conversion since you have a dx: http://rywire.com/store/obd0-obd1-co...07833d4d00b653
Here's a link to bambam89lx's site. I'm sure he can tell you more about his products, just PM him; he's a member of this site: http://hybrid-creations.com/crxproducts.htm

i highly recommend rywire i had ryan do my obd0 to obd1 harness, it was all plug and play, try to get the z6 engine harness to send to him along with the dx harness. i would also get an o2 sensor from him too its cheaper than the parts store. cost of the harness was $300

and you are going to need an Si throttle cable, at the dealership it isnt that much.

If the Ecu is over kill then what ECU would I need? Also with the wiring harness, the first site u gave me *rywire* has the harness I need for 300 bucks. The second site you gave me *bambam89lx* has a harness for 119 bucks. Whats the diffrence? Also how hard is it to make a harness myself?

you can get a PR3 B16 ECU for about $100 that stays OBD0 and you can use a stock HF/Si disty and all you would have to do is run the wires for vtec.

How hard would that be? And where can I find info on it?

Also If I decide to go with eather one of the harness's then can I use this ECU? http://www.j-k-tuning.com/chipped-spec-p-292.html on the site it says it will run with the motor I have.

Damn I'm sorry man, those are 2 completely different things. The first 1 was just to be bale to plug in an OBD1 ecu and the other was for the swap. I'm going to do the smart thing and stay out of this discussion from now on, cause now I'm confused.

But that ecu is overkill because it's chipped. You don't need a chipped ecu, you just need a stock one. So try and find a stock P28.

Dosnt the one from bambam89lx have that also?

88-91 Civic/CRX DX/STD DPFI to MFPI VTEC - bambam91lx

88-91 CRX/Civic DX/STD to d16z6/d15b (obd1 VTEC) - Rywire

Besides it saying obd1, is there really a diff? Or are they both the same?

i dont know what his all includes, i know what i got from rywire cause im runnin it in my car

So if I get the one from rywire what all would I need to finish up to run it in my car? Also where would I remove the wiring harness? (I have a spar car Im taking the harness from) Do I have to take it from behind the dash? If not which one's do I remove from the motor? *pictures would be helpful*
