Icon2 D16Z6 swap in my EF What should I know?

Hey I'm going to be doing a D16Z6 swap out of a 1994 honda civic Ex. What do I need to know to get it to work? Should I use a p28 with jumper wire? Will it bolt right up? Just let me know what you know about these swaps. Thanks Eric

Direct bolt in, buy a conversion harness from obd0 - obd1. If you buy a conversion harness this will have the wire for vtec and the pressure switch.

Its not a "direct bolt in", you need to swap the stock driver side mount onto the z6 for it to line up correctly. Also i found that the throttle cable from the 94 chasis worked very well and looked "neater" than the stock one since its shorter. Other than that buy yourself a good conversion harness wire it up and enjoy.
