YES... you will be dumping way too much fuel and VTEC will not work as a PR4 is a NON-VTEC ECU... You are mistaking the intake noise for "vTaK y0"!

alright ive got the engine out of the civic and i have everything i need exept for the conversion harness i believe im thinking of going with the boomslang obdo-obd1 harness, what else do i need? since i have the del sol and everything with it do i still need the distributor wriring harness? and is there a dpfi-mpfi conversion harness that i need to buy or will the boomslang harness have what i need to get the car running. i just dont want to have any janky wiring running my car.

what model ef civic are you putting it in? if it is a dpfi your gonna need to buy a harness from a multipoint ef, repin the current ecu harness so it works with the mpfi harness. get a boomslang for a obd1 ecu. buy a stock p28 or a chipped vtec ecu with a basemap for a z6.
