theres gona be alot of work to put this motor in. first you gota convert your car from dpfi to mpfi then you gota convert it from obd0 to obd1 or 2 its up to you. then you either got to get a cable tranny or convert your car to a hydro clutch.

use your trans, convert to mpfi. If you want you could try and find a friend that has a pm6 and trade computers if you want to run obd0 but if not your going to have to convert up. The wiring harness will not plug into yours

n0 becuase a si harness is still obo and its for a b16 i believe i already went thru this with a friend beffore A: for some reason the y8 tranny wont fit in a ef its not possible without custom fabricatin..... B: your better off with the b16 ne way dude it runs high 14's stock in a ef i would kknow mine only weghts 2065 and i have a 91 std w/ 4speed manual so think how much of a difference that will be with almost double the power it was made to handle and make sure u get the lsd they help thats what i want i need the :funds: kid so something to think about yes ok C: end rant
