93 civic engine swap
My friend has a 93 civic with a blown motor. The motor in the car is a VTEC motor and he didnt know and got a non- vtec engine. Is their a simple way to swap these? He needs the car this week and i understand that i wont have a vtec solinoid or the oil pickup for when the vtec kicks in but can we swap them even if his check engine light stays on?

Re: 93 civic engine swap
Your CEL will throw up a code if you use the same ecu as the one you did for you vtec motor. (usually a p28 if its d series) and if you swap to a non vtec your gonna get a code 21, vtec wiring. You can run the non vtec motor on this ecu fine but the CEL will probably annoy the **** out of you, i suggest finding a cheap po6 ecu or something that is your motors actual ecu.\
