its in the faqs...only difference is your using a z6 head and they are using a y8 head....it should be about the same. of course there are obd differences...so idk how to help you on that part.

You're going to need 9 head studs (or bolts) for the Y7 and 1 for the Z6, for the head to fit right. The 1 Z6 stud/bolt goes near the vtec solenoid.

If you have to pass emissions, you'll need an ECU that is close to the year of your car. If you're car is anywhere from '96-'98 (OBD2A), you'll need a '96-'98 ECU. If it's a '99-'00 (OBD2B), you'll need a '99-'00 ECU. If you don't need to worry about emissions, then you can use a '92-'95 ECU. But you'll need to buy an OBD2A or OBD2B (whichever OBD2 your car is) to OBD1 conversion harness, for the '92-'95 ECU to plug in.
