ok before u do this i want to warn u the total cost comes out to around 1000
u will need ECU, driver side engine mount, wiring harness, distributor, and fuel rail
u will have to rewire the entire dash also to convert it to obd1
i didn't even attempt to do this and i wouldnt advise it unless u hav extensive electrical experience a shop in covina, ca called Honda feind can do this for around 200 bucks
i didn't kno all this till after the d15 vtec was sitting in my engine bay where it has sat for two months i wouyld just go zc dohc bcuz its easier and cheaper bcuz u can get the ECU and wiring harness from an 88-91 civic/crx Si at the junkyard
but if u hav the engine already good luck

u dont have to re-wire the entire dash, just do a obd0 to obd1 swap and add vtec wiring, done

you'll also need a p28 ecu with a vtec activation device or you can get a pm6 modded at zdyne or hondata to activate vtec. it did'nt cost me a 1000$. you can use the si dist.. i've got some pics that show how to use it if needed. as stated it's a pretty easy swap.

If you doing a OBD1 swap just look for a JDM P08 ecu because thats what came with the D15B in japan
