92 hatchback swap q's

how much work would have to be done to swap a d16z6 into a 92 civ hb with a d15b8 ....it would be fairly easy beacause that motor was intended for that car right??...is it prewired for vtec

you just pull it out and pop the new one in. is it a dx? if so re-wiring is in order.

Re:92 hatchback swap q's

I believe that ALL 92 civics are prewired for v-tec (basically have the same wiring as the Si). I am unsure if the 93's are the same way, but I'm pretty positive that the 92's are. That's why I want a 92 hatch

Knock sensor is all you need to wire in.
