Im also looking for this motor. But you shouldnt waste money on a zex kit...save it for the B series.

Well I am guessing you will need a new ecu (from a vtec) and a slight change in wiring. However I really have no clue...Ive thought about this particular swap myself. In addition to the questions allready asked what is the horspower and torque rating on that motor? Thanks

use a vtec ecu, d series tranny or a lsd tranny from japan which is the best . the only wires you need to run are for the vtec and you are good to go

Get an SI/EX tranny, no need for new mounts, P08 is the ECU that is stock with the d15b vtec. I have it and love it!
