Default 88 crx si swap d15b

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forums, was browing around the net and found you guys knew what you we're talking about. Here's what going on i have a 1988 honda crx si with a d16a6 currently in it and i just ordered a jdm d15b from tigerjapanese. I was just wondering all the materials i'm going to need i researched a bit and found what i think i need is some mounts, i know hasport makes some for the cable to hydro trany, a p28 ecu which i have and a jumper harness, just wondering all the things i need.

You can use your stock mounts and transmission. Use the clutch & flywheel off your a6.
Also use 0bd0 to obd1 jumper harness. The distributor need jumper plugs and you need a obd1 distributor. One 4 wire o2 sensor with male and female plugs. Vtec and vtec oil pressure plugs. Finally the ecu the p28. Thats about it may one or two things more.

You might have to change the fan switch if the switch is on the thermostat housing.

You sir, ordered a d15b e-vtec. which is a dual vtec solenoids and odb 2. Which is more of an economy engine, instead of the D15B vtec, from the years 92-95, which more people are prone to buy.

yes you will need to run the p2j, although they can be difficult to procure if i recall. either that, or you will need to swap the head for a regular single solenoid sohc vtec head (the other d15b,z6, or y8)

thanks for the answer man, i guess that cpu is the only way to get that running i was reading a bit and someone was saying they still used the p28 just didnt get the 3 stage vtec?

i had entertained that idea in my mind as well but whether or not you could run one of the solenoids on a dual solenoid vtec head with a p28 safely and effectively is unbeknownst to me.
