Default d16z6 swap into a 88 civic std hatch

i am looking into getting a d16z6 engine to do my first swap

im not looking for alot of power gain.. mostly experience

i have read posts where people talk about wiring the vtec heads

also about heat sensor?

and also i've seen mentioning of a distributor mod

i've searched and can't find any info on these topics

what is it im gonna have to do in order to get the Vtec to work right in this 88 hatch?

this will be my frist swap so and tutorials or guides or anything will be appreciated

"sohc" or "vtec swap" would work too.

i did a search of mini me swaps

it only came up with putting the z6 head on a d15 block

im talking about doing a complete d16z6 swap.

i did a search for d16z6 swaps but most of them were fro 92 and up civics

i know it will fit perfectly in the engine bay, i found a diagram for wiring the vtec heads to the ECU but i couldn't find anything o nthe distributor

Depending on which ecu you decide to use with the motor, that will dictate what parts you will need. Best option is to use a P28 ecu and get OBD0-OBD1 wiring conversion harness.
