There are a couple things wrong with this thread.

1. Thread titles should at least summarize what the problem is.

2. Thread titles should not contain profanity.

I'll change it, but please keep these things in mind if you decide to make another thread.

Thanks!

Dear God,

Please make this person's spelling better - it is atrocious.

Thanks,

Your y7 harness will work as I swapped a z6 into a 99 2 weeks ago. Pm me with proper questions if you want help

Off the top of my head your going to have to change the driver side motor mount. The tranny will line up fine auto or manual. If you have a ex then use ur stock ex harness cuz if you use the y7 you then gotta wire in vtec. You can either buy a dizzy adapter harness or swap dizzy cases or depin and depin the dizzy on the obd2a plug. use your p2p ecu or the p28 with obd 1 adapter harness

yes im not trying to wire vtec up yet. i just want to use the z6 head and block on the y7 tranny and also im using the dizzy,altnator,injectors,intake manifold off the y7 to the d15b. everythings bolts up except i read a post saying the dizzy only bolts up using one bolt so it boltd with 1 bolt. i got spark my fuel pump turns on so i have fuel. i dont no if i use the firing codes for the z6 or the y7 but i tried both and still dosent start. i allready no what i need for vtec i no i need a ecu and the harnesses but im not trying to do that right now so i dont need to hear that. IM NOT TRYING TO POP VTEC i just want my car to run and dont no why its not runing.

As far as I can tell, you have a complete frankenstein of a motor going on. You need to give us a full, well written break down of EXACTLY what parts are coming from EXACTLY what engine.

So you have the alternator, distributor, injectors, and intake manifold from the Y7, the rotating assembly and bottom end of the d15B, and valvetrain from the Y8? Am I understanding this completely cluster of parts correctly?

Older engines in newer cars is a no go. It's on the federal level.

%30 of the forum should be banned then as well as %30 of honda owners arrested, anyone can take an obd2 engine block, and put all obd1 engine head, crank. The german inspectors here are oblivious and never know
