Default Virgin 89 ef turbo build

This is my third honda after my last one from about 10 years ago (I got bitten by the DSM bug. I own three of them plus a jetta 1.8t) soooo......This car which I bought for 400.00 has got a straight body and no rust. Runs but once warmed up it starts to loose power to the point where you can only leave it idling with out it shuttig off. It is throwing a code 8 for the crank sensor if i'm right which is in the distributor. Also spark plug number three may have been crossed threaded because I cannot get it out. It binds after about three full turns when taking it out. I will soon post pictures of it.

My goal for this car will be a DD and turbo. This is my list of parts that I have to play with:

Garret gt2560 turbo, DSM intercooler

Pulled a d15b7 head with IM, Dizzy,purge canister every thing practically including the engine wire harness and ecu P06(I will be using this to convert to mpfi)

P28 with hondata s300

Mitsubishi EVO 9 injectors (560cc)

Fj rods

Intake manifold with throttle body from a ZC and ZC cam non vtech

Question could I use the p28 to run this setup because it is mapped for a LS b18b1 turbo setup? I have read that hondata has basic maps that you can download to get you started.

Well I pulled a wiring harness out of a 94 civic that had a d15b7 engine. I took the ECU, head with intake manifold, evap can, fuel filter and whatever else I could hell I took the starter because it was the original Honda one. The wiring harness from inside the cabin(ECU) out to the plugs in the engine bay. Could I run that from the cabin out to the engine and splice the rest out to the inside of the car? I need to do a bit of research on the wiring.

I wouldn't mess with the 94 civic harness, just get a OBD0 to OBD1 jumper harness from rywire.

Here is a link to the kit I would get if I was you.
