ZC Swap 92-95 in a 88-91? Please help
Alright fellas, I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1
Okay well...that said, I have a 91 crx with an si already installed with a zc tranny attached. I need to swap that new motor in, I was going to swap my current zc tranny over to the new motor and run this. The new motor comes with the wire harness too but its cut at the firewall, the seller says that this model zc is for 92-95 civics, but goes into 88-91 models with some minor mods.
here is my question...What are those mods?
I have an aftermarket exaust manifold...I have the axels, I was going to get the 88-89 integra pm7 ecu but now im not sure if thats what I need. He says this motor is the 92-95 style grey plug motor...and that 88-91's are yellow plug variant. What do I need to do here guys? Will my si mounts work as well? Please help!

A few things on this subject-
-Thats an OBD1 engine, so you will need the newer ecu
- seller posts 140 hp and 140 ft lbs torque... "no way." That engine makes 130-135 hp and 108 ft lbs torque.
- you have have to purchase a obd0 to obd1 conversion
- the harness that comes with the engine can only be used for parts as its from a right hand drive and is cut anyways
Do some more reseach, i would think the regular non obd zc is better for your situation.
