Default Replacing a d15 with a d16z6 or y8... what problems

I'm about to buy a 92-95 cx/dx hatch and am planning on swapping in a d16z6 before I turbo it. What is needed besides the engine/tranny for this swap? Do I need new axles? The z6 ecu? Shift linkage? Is anything not a direct replacement between mounting and wiring the one engine with the other? Any help would be appreciated.

everything will line up the same. You will need a new ECU and need to add 2 wires for vtec.
