1990 civic standard to d16z6 full swap, who dunn it?
Did anyone install a d16z6 in place of a d15b2 doing the full obd1 conversion? i am planning to do this and already have a motor.

*points to sig*
It wasn't hard, but it certainly wasn't easy. For me, the hardest part was doing the MPFI wiring at the same time as OBD1. In the end I only had the crank angle sensor wires swapped, but easy fix.
My suggestion is to use the DX/STD/LX engine harness as the base, then add/extend wires using the EX/SI engine harness. I used 16ga heavy insulated wire from mcmaster.com, and covered all the wires with the split-loop tubing. Looks stock.
IIRC, if you follow the dpfi part of the boomslang.us conversion harness pdf (for the ecu, not engine bay), it's just repining the dizzy and the dpfi->mpfi wires at the ecu.

Me.. too!
MPFI wasn't too bad. Just have to add a few wires. No big deal. I used a obd-0 to obd-1 conversion harness after I did the mpfi and I knew it worked (I ran the z6 obd0 for a little while to get the mpfi conversion kinks out).
There was a lot I learned.
