hello guys,
i picked up a z6 motor for 150.00 and a ecu for 100.
i have the slow 91dx hatch.
anyways, i have a guy going to wire the car for the p28 ecu ect. thats not my problem.
my problem is, what is the "hidden" parts about this swap? at first i thought i could drop it in, have it wired, and be set. now im thinking the throttle cable wont work (so i would need a SI cable) and what else?

is it true i need a SI intake manifold? remember, this is a z6 vtec swap, and i have the z6 manifold and everything with the motor.

i sold the tranny and going to use my DX tranny and have a stage 1 clutch sitting here already.


please enlighten me more about this swap. i read online that i have to use the SI intake manifold, but not positive if thats correct.

thank you for your time.

well its wierd that you read that couse i was just getting ready to post about this my self couse i was told that buy a guy today that has this swap in his rex and i seen it for my self it works using the si one so hopfully someone can help us both out here

well i think you can use the SI I/M and stay obd0 and just use TurboEdit to activate vtec, or you can just convert to obd1 and use p28. If you decide to go obd1 i would sugest getting a ex/si engine wire loom, makes it much easier.

Re-wiring the car to obd1 would be a big mistake. Stay obd 0 and do a multi point fuel injection swap. Go here:

i have a OBD0 EF 4dr with a D16Z6 [turbo]... i used the stock Z6 IM, sensors, ect. i am be using turboedit on a chipped PS9 ECU...

i suggest using a 89-91 tranny, and a 90-up flywheel/clutch assy sence it is the bigger setup (200mm vs 212mm, and the 88 tranny is a gay bastard)...


want pics? let me know what you want to see...

if your z6 doesnt have a dizzy ur gonna need an obd1 distributor. If you got the wiring all set you can just use the z6 manifold.

the OBD 1 Z6 dizzy wont work on an OBD 0 car...

i have p28 ecu
z6 dizzy and z6 i/m
i DO NOT have an SI manifold

i was paying a guy 275 to rewire the car to obd1 (ecu harness, ect)

so my question still is
can i use my z6 dizzy, ecu and manifold, with my EF chassis. as long as its wired to obd1.

and what else do i need, an SI throttle cable, ect....


yea, if you have pics, please e-mail them to me at smokeshank@hotmail.com

you are having your car rewired to be OBD1....the engine you bought is OBD1. As long as this guy picks up an EX wiring harness for some extra plugs, i don't see what the problem is.... Get the Si tranny, you'll feel the difference.

i have a obd1 engine in my ef and if ur wiring is ok than u can use the z6 i/m and everything else obd1
