Are you planning on staying OBD 2? if not, use a P28.

jsut use your stock ecu and runa vtec controller. i just finished it and its easy as hell. you have to use stock dizzy and intake manifold.

use your original engine harness, and use the y8 harness for plugs.

get the clutch according to tranny. you can use the y8 pressure plate and flywheel.

i would run a p28 on that setup for best results. or a chipped pm6 with vtec controller.

good luck

He is referring to the a6 dizzy, thats cause you are staying obd0. I would recommend obd1 swap though. My car doesnt run that great and I am using my stock pm6 with my obd0 dizzy on a z6. Timing adjustability isnt all that great. check out Boomslang.us for a obd0-obd1 conversion harness.. get a 4 wire o2 sensor and a p28 ecu... that will pull the most out of that motor.

Clutch... according to tranny.

Good luck with this swap, It runs noticably better once done

Nope. You can use the Y8 manifold. Just extend the MAP sensor wiring and run the A6 injectors, or the Y8 injectors if you want to remove the injector resistor box

That is a obd0-obd1 conversion harness... it is found here
http://www.boomslang.us/obd0.htm

Like Mr. S said use the intake manifold that is for the motor, the injectors that are for the motor (solder the wires together where the injector resister box is, the newer year injectors have built in resistors), a 4 wire o2 sensor and a p28 ecu, this will bring the best out of that motor
