This should answer the question pretty easily:

What did the z6 swap come with?
a. OBD1 electronics.
b. Pre-OBD electronics using an aftermarket VTEC tuning part.
c. OBD2 electronics.
d. None of the above

Best possible solution: Z6 swap, using the z6 ECU (Anyone wanna pull this P code for me?), then adding the VAFC in order to tune the fuel mapping, VTEC activation, etc of the Z6 while at the same time keeping the integrity of the OBD1 electrical system and diagnostic programs that Honda intended.

depends, he could be running carb'ed and dumping more fuel in his engine.

i would get FPR and up the fuel pressure about 3 psi

na man, i am running all obd-1. i converted everything. running stock p-28, intake, exhaust, and i rebuilt the engine before i put it in so it is stronger. new plugs and wires. 89 crx Si tranny and flywheel. flywheel has been lightened. stage 2 exceedy clutch, and i am a damn good drive when it come to racing. a lot of people just suck, can't get off the line, can't speed shift. i have had my practice.... i can stay right with a turbo eclipes, and beat a 4g hatch with a slightly modded b16...

i'm running obd0, and i have no probs...on motor alone i ran 14.8 with i/h/e
now i'm boosting 9psi, with a super ghetto turbo set-up, still running obd0 and running 13.6 with stock crx dx clutch (slipping it's *** off)

BTW: i'm not even running a vafc, i'm only running a msd switch
