Default ECU and engine/head mounting questions

i have a 1987 CRX SI OBD-0 i am pretty sure, will a p28 ECU connect directly with this cars stock connectors?

also will a D16z6 (with VTEC) head bolt on to the stock engine(D15A3) if so is there a good way to connect the VTEC correctly and easily?


i have intentions to keep this car stock till the 1st engine goes, so mainly i am just curious more or less...

To amplify:

Hondas from the 1987 and earlier model years are VERY differrenrt from 1988 and newer Hondas. Come on over to www.redpepperracing.com for specific info about your car, the wiki on that site should get you up to speed on your '87.

Yea... there is pretty much no aftermarket support for the 87 CRX.... and for what ever is out there, its very expensive...

hasport now makes a mount kit to drop a 1988+ D/B series engine in your EA, EW, and DA3. thats ONLY if you were dead serious about this idea, because Hasport kits are expensive as fawk. also, you can get a OBD0-OBD1 ECU jumper harness just about any tuning shop or just order one online. but once again, the swap is expensive and is usually only worth it if you've got a serious powerplant such as a B16A or etc.

BTW, if you didnt already know, the 1986-89 Integra's D16A1 will drop right it. they only put out 113-115hp from the factory but they are next to free since nobody wants them. i've gotten all of my D16A1 swaps for free.
