Default Jdm D15b vtec motor swap question

Does the Jdm D15B swap right in the ex coupe model? Because I am planning to buy me a civic coupe ex model and was curious does it swap right in with the jdm ecu.

Yes, but why??

The Z6 and Y8 are similar in power production.

Why not replace with another D16Z6. Wouldn't it be cheaper?

will highway miles really hurt the car much or it should be alright. I'm not planning to be hard on it but daily driven to school and back and I drive for about 70 miles going to school and back home everyday.

If you're worried about reliability, get a low mileage Y8 from a 99-00.
