If you have the wiring, transmission, engine, and ECU from the new engine, you should have no problem installing them in the car. There's very little difference in the actual layout of the wiring, as well. It's going to have a couple additions, but nothing that won't be plainly obvious during installation.


PS. Your English is actually quite good. No need to apologize.

Oh, so you have an Automatic ECU and are trying to run it on a Manual transmission? This won't work, bud. You'll need a proper Manual ECU, preferably from an EX (D17A2). You'll also need to get it re-flashed for the immobilizer, when you're done with the swap (only a Honda dealership can do this).
