Icon2 Changing D15z4 to D15Y engine (help need)

Dears
I decided to change my car engine, since am facing a heat problem even know, I changed almost everything related to cooling
and since am living in country that don't have much choices
I want your help to guide me
My car engine D15z4
After a huge search I found D15Y and I found one D15V I searched on internet for information about the V one but I couldn’t find any!!!
Please I need to know what kind of problem i will face when i change to D15Y
Should I change the engine wires?
My car engine doesn’t have ECU should I bay ECU with the D15Y engine?
Can the engine run without ECU if i don't want to install V-tech? even know i really want to have V-tech but i have a limited cost and the prices here is very high
And the gear box should it change? I have automatic gear box
I was looking for engine D16 but I couldn’t find
What should I do?
Thank you in advance.
note: I have read a lot of topics here about swapping engine but i really need it with simple words

If you do decided to change the engine out with the d15Y then get the ECU and the harness that were on the D15Y to help yourself.
The change shouldnt cause you to run into any problems. Its a D series to D series swap so you should be able to reuse your mounts and motor accessories.
As far as gearbox, If your transmission is fine then reuse your transmission on the new motor.

Thank you for replying
I found a better engine it is D15B
I bought it with the ECU, and the harness, but I wonder if it is a V-tech or not?
Is there any way to know? I couldn’t find any stamp on it says V-tech

I believe the D15B is equipped with a 3 stage vtec. And a simple way you can tell is if you see a vtec solenoid by the distributor.

Thank you for your help, i did change my engine but it still not working probably don't know why, but i'm trying to find solution for it
When you try to accelerate from zero, the engine is approaching to die or switches off a few seconds, then accelerate and functioning normally,
This problem only occurs when trying to accelerate from zero.

Check engine light is off

any ideas?

Thank you.

it could be that you are letting the clutch out too quickly.
