Default what should i be expecting in my swap

Im goin to be starting my first honda swap in a couple days. I made sure i have everything i need before i started, im just waiting on my chip for my p06 in the mail. I drive a 94 civic dx with a d15b8 in it that is past due for remove since its goin through two quarts a day lol. The motor thats goin in is a d16y8. I have a z6 harness thats goin to be connecting everything and i kno i have to change some plugs around but not a big deal just wondering what i should be expecting during and after the swap thanks guys i will post some pics when i get started

start a build thread and all you gotta do is switch engine and tranyy. you can reuse everything. your p06 is non vtec....are you going to get a dif ecu or get a msd activator switch that sux?

from there you can just update and update. and get advise. check out the appearence catagory. theres alot of cars to the bone being painted and wiretucked and getting new motors. it inspire you to clean it up and make it nice
