Default Doing D16Z6 swap, will a 1995 del sol ECU work?

Just like the topic says, does the ECU out of 1 1995 del sol work to make a d16z6 operate in my car? It says P28 on it and the seller said it was ODB1 but someone also told me that these were OBD2 and wouldn't work Or was the odb2 just for the b16 engines? Anyone else use this computer or hear of anyone using this computer for a d15b7 to d16z6 sawp? Thanks in advance

My p28 works with my Z6.

As it is the correct computer for that motor.

Thanks for the hlp guys, I'm just a little nervous because this si my first swap and I want everything to go alright. All I need now is a 92-95 d16z6 transmission. I'm having an import shop putting the engine in for 65 dollars an hour. How many hours do you think it will take them? I hop not too many, i'm not made of money...

I wished i live in california. I'm here in ohio and it's almost totaly domestic cars runnging around here with thousands of apc stickers. The place that's doing my swap (passen motorsports) said it would take most of the week with working on it off and on. They all seem pretty cool though, easy to get along with.

i'll sell you my d16z6 manual tranny with my 2 month old ACT clutch and pressure plate. I don't know what "stage" the clutch is, but it's rated for 200-250hp. need my shift linkage? you can have that too, if i don't end up needing it. i'll know by the end of the day on thursday (7/10). i'm about to drop a b16 in my fifth gen, so i don't really need the stuff anymore...but it would be nice to have a little extra $ to help pay for the swap, especially since i just put in that clutch over Easter break. how does $500 to your door sound? i'll even put it in for you for a little extra , if you've got some jacks and some tools. i'll be heading up from texas to wisconsin, within the week and i could just take an extra day to swing over and drop it off. i've also got a pretty dc 4-2-1 ceramic coated header if you'd like that...make an offer. if the ecu you have won't work, i've got one that will...make an offer on that, too. i don't know how soon i'll be back on here, so give me a call if you want it. (920) 860-0546. a text msg would be best, but a call will work too.

hey FURY...do you remember back to when you didn't know that? there's no reason to be a dick just because someone doesn't know something you do. people ask questions on here, call me silly if i'm wrong, to get answers, not called stupid...

just make sure the car is a 5 speed if you are getting a 5 speed The ECU should say A02 for a 5 speed.

If your ECU says A52 on the end its for an auto and youd have to find a way to covert it for 5 speed use.

But P28 are for SOHC VTEC'S Like mine and man was a P28 A02 hard to find for me. i dont think anyone mentioned that part to you.

yea.... the OBD-______ .... stands for "On Board Diagnostics" spelling might be off. and cars that are 91 and older... are OBD-0 or pre-OBD. and cars that are 92-95 are OBD-1.... cars 96+ are OBD-2.like they said, if your car is going to be a manual.. then make sure that delsol you are getting the ECU from is also a manual... check the code on the label on the side of the ECU to make sure it says p28 A02. i think thats what the guy said it was. and you should do the swap yourself man. you will think there is a lot involved and it is hard.... but just think of it as taking out a bunch of bolts.... big deal. just use bags and keep parts together so you know where which bolt came from. its a great learning experience. i've changed transmissions twice on my old crx. pulled a d16z6 out of a wrecked civic. pulled the crx engine and install the d16z6... rebuilt the engine before it went in. got hit.. pulled it again. pulled my civic engine, installed the d16z6 in my civic with a turbo kit. what car is this all going in again. year model... I.E i drive a 94 civic hatch cx. i'll even talk you through it if you have any trouble. if it is a 92-95 civic... you'll need 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm. maybe a few different length extensions for the ratchets.... and might need a 13+ 15mm... cant remember now. but its easy d00d.

go out and look at the bolts for your engine mounts. thats all you have to take off to get them out of the way. support the engine and tranny so they dont fall. pull the engine and tranny as one. crawl under the car and take off a rubber boot on part of the shift linkage... a 12 or 14mm bolt holding the other shift linkage bar (stableizer bar) on the tranny... pop out that little "bitch" pin that is in your shift linkage.. unhook your two 14mm bolts from your exhaut where they connect where your firewall starts. unplug a few wires from the strut tower locations.. some vacuum lines.. good to go!

seriously. save your money. it will take a day to pull it cuz your new at it.. and probably less to put it back in. just go outside and study.. just think of it as a few bolts to pull out! PM me if you have any questions....then you can use the $ you just saved for a few bolt ons and make it faster, and brag that you did it yourself.. and then you will know how to change your own clutch, tranny, axels, engine, ecu.... everything.

update on the ECU stuff...either ECU will work with a manual tranny...you'll just have the lock up solenoid DTC...I swapped in a manual and didn't think to get the ECU right away...everything but the cruise control works just fine. It would be easier to use the manual tranny ECU, but it can be done with the AT if you can't get a hold of the right one. there's some wiring involved in tricking the car into thinking it's in neutral so that it will start, but if you go that route, ask for help. i won't waste a whole lot of space going into the details if it isn't necessary. the cool thing is that i can start my car without engaging the clutch...i did that once and forgot it was in gear and the car tried taking off on me!

SOHC Beast: Good advice...hope he listens...there's a lot of pride in saying that you did it yourself...

you can also use 96-00 d16y8 transmission out of an EX, or 92-95 SI transmission (same as 92-95EX). The y8 tranny would be best as it has stronger shifter forks.
