D15B/Z6 head
Head gasket, intake gasket, and exaust gasket from 92-95 Civic Si/Ex
Timing belt from 92-95 Civic Si/Ex
Valve cover gasket for a 92-95 Civic Si/Ex
RPM Activated switch, or Vtec controller (such as Fields, or APEXi)
Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, or FPR from 92-95 Civic Si/Ex
Timing light
Lots of VTEC Stickers, and Powered by Honda stickers

Recommended things to pick up (but not totally necessary):

Change of oil/oil filter
New Anti-freeze
Impact Wrench (this could very well be a necessity!)
New set of head-bolts
New Spark-plugs, dist. cap, and rotor

fixed.

timing belt will depend on what head he has. he said he's purchased one already but didn't mention if it was a z6 or y8. also don't forget to remove the dowel pin from the block or vtec will never engage.

can you elaborate on this one a bit more. this is the one in the center of the block closest to the firewall correct?

thank you!! i also needed to know for my d15b vtec head swap. and op, if your are going to stay obd0 with a pm6, chip it and put the correct base map on it and use the ac relay wire as your vtec switch, unless your swapping to obd1 just use a p28 for easiness.
