Default d15 to d16 vtec help?????

Hi I have a stock d15 in my crx right now and I just bought a d16 vtec engine with wire harness(not cut) and a p28 ecu, out of a civic, it looks that it will bolt right up, but my problem is that my plugs don't match up to mine. What do I need to do, will I need a new harness or what??? Thanks jake

The engine harness from a d16z6 will not plug into your interior harness. Depending on if your CRX is a DX (Has a DPFI d15 in it) you will have to convert the car to MPFI, which takes about 6 wires or so to do, real easy. Just search for DPFI to MPFI there are tons of write ups on it.

You will also need to get a OBD-0 to OBD-1 ECU conversion harness and OBD-0 to OBD-1 distributor harness for the ECU and distributor to plug into each other and operate properly.
