D15B7 to D15Z8 swap
Hello guys, so I have a 93 Civic with half dead D15B7 and I got my hands on wery cheap D15Z8 (economy vtec). Guy, which I bought it from gave me engine, P9l ECU, fuel rail with injectors, wiring that goes from from ECU to right front strut tower and VTEC solenoid. My questions are :
1. Will I need distributor from the Z8?
2. Will the wiring be direct fit to engine harness or will i need OBD 1 to OBD 2 conversion?
3. How do I wire the vtec?
4. Anymore suggestions?
Thanks in advance [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]

Nice!
Not yet, tried to exchange the oki circuit from the old one, didn’t work, tried to immo off the thing, didn’t work either, I’m not sure if I did it correctly though, heard the P9L is somewhat different, do you know anything about it?
