Default D15B into a 95 DX

Can anyone help me with what I would need to make it possible? A friend has the swap waiting for me. It's a D15B along with a p28.

Which D15B? There's about 5 of them. If its the SOHC VTEC version you'll just need to wire up VTEC solenoid and VTEC pressure switch. The rest should plug and play.

Ok then it'll all plug and play. You'll just need to make or buy a Subharness for VTEC and VTEC pressure switch.

^^ Agreed.

Also, the P28 ECU will dump a little too much fuel for the D15B VTEC engine. It will run, but a little on the rich side. You should look into socketing/chipping the P28 ECU and running a D15B programmed chip on it.

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys. Another question, if I boost the d15b, would I really need vtec? Would it make that much of a difference whether I have it or not?

But a y8 head is a vtec head.
