depends on if your wanna keep it obd1 or make it obd0

and u can only use the motor and the ecu because since the 4th gen has a cable tranny, and the eg has a hydro, u cant use it. unless hasport came out with that calbe to hydro for the d series, i dont think they have yet

you also gotta wire up for vtec.
check this site out and look it over http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/tech/sohcvtec.html
but converting it to obd1 has been made easier since that article came out, someone on here sells a obd0 to obd1 conversion harness for like 200 i think, but i forget who it is

blown90hatch is correct.
His name is Jason, he's a really good seller, he just told me if you wait until Nov-Dec. He's having a sale. Search his name in members list and click on link in his signature.
