Default Can I use a z6 manifold with an mpfi swap?

I did put a 95 z6 into my 91 Civic DX and I have been using the dx manifold for the last month. I finally have time to put the z6 manifold on. I was planning on using the z6 manifold with an 89 crx si ecu, and a 90 civic si distributor. Will the sensors on the throttle body work? The connectors seemed to fit, but I know that its obd1 where as the ecu is obd0.
For the distributor, I did not get the distributor connector. Does anyone have a pinout of the si and dx distributor? Theoretically if I plug the dx connector into the SI distributor and connect the cps sensor with quick connects to the wires I just ran will it work?

Thanks for any help that you can give me, I did not find any of this in the 5 searches I did.

its practically the same. its just that on the ecu connector...you must move the wires C1 (orange)to B10 and C2(white) to B12. for the empty C1 and C2 that's where you'll be putting the blue/green and blue/yellow for the cps and tdc sensor.

sorry dont have a picture to show but i hope you can picture what i'm saying. Good luck!

Thanks for the replys.

Which plug is the a,b,and c plug on the ecu? Am I correct in saying the the white plug is a, b is longer black and c is the shorter black one?

Thanks

Hey what other intake manifolds will I be able to use? I can't seem to find an CRX Si manifold at the junk yards.

Any D series intake manifold from 88-00 will bolt up to any D series motor. They all have the same bolt pattern and are completely interchangeable. I have a 94 Si intake manifold that I'm using on an 89 D15B2 DX head.

Manifold will work of the Z6 yes. Injectors no, Z6 are peak hold and pre-91 are saturated. Also the diz from a 92+ will not work OBDI unless you change your ECU same goes for the Injectors. If using pre 91 ECU must use OBD0 electronics. The Diz has different # of teeth on the main crank position sensor.... As for the connectors you would have to swap them around just match colors on the 88-91 Diz. The other sensors will work.

Default si distro pinout

IF for whatever reason you were to need to rewire your EF distributor plugs here is how they are set-up.
Look at the back of the plug, if you have it oriented right then you have the tab at the top, then one row of two wires, one row of four wires (with the leftmost one empty), and one row of two wires. Reading left to right and top to bottom you get:


WHT/BLU (C4 at ecu) TDC sensor
ORA/BLU (C3) TDC sensor
Empty
WHT/RED (B12) Crank angle sensor
ORA (B10) Crank angle sensor
BLU/GRN (C1) Cyl sensor
BLU/WHT (C2) Cyl sensor

I know everyone says you can't use 92up injectors with pm6 computer, but i personally have put over 10,000 miles with them setup like that. oh well works for me. heres a link to better swap directions....http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/4g...-zc-wiring.htm hope it helps
