Mini-me Help!

[M1Tanker]

okay ive got a shitload of parts on the way and what i aim to do is a full mini-me swap using a y7 block and a z6 head, using a y8 intake mani, and a stage 1 compcams camshaft. my main questions are: what throttle body do i need to buy? what type of ecu do i need being as i was non-vtec automatic?(btw i have a MSD window switch on the way to control when vtec kicks in) will the fuel rail and injectors from a y7 work on a y8 intake manifold?

Obviously you're going to need to use the VTEC ecu. I think the throttle bodies are the same. Window switch for vtec? Ghetto rig. Do it right once and never have to fix it again.

which vtec ecu do i need to get? im using a obd2 block and intake manifold and using an obd1 head? also im keeping my auto trans. obd1 or 2 ecu?????????

go by the harness thats in the car. if the car is obd1...you use a p28 if the car is obd2 you use a p2t ecu. I dont recommend using a window switch to control vtec...It crosses over vtec but not ignition and fuel maps, so your going to be running the wrong amount of timing and the wrong fuel. If you put in the vtec ecu, wire it properly and use the ecu for what it is.
You can use any throttle body you want...ex, si, gsr ls h22, it doesnt matter they will all fit on the y8 manifold. As for the injectors and fuel rail, use the ones from the y8 manifold.

what wiring needs to be done using this setup?? i need as much help as possible

I'm doing the same thing, but with a d15b7block and a y8 head I have just the y8 head. Will the b7 intake manifold work with the y8 head and also can I use a p28

[M1Tanker]

will a y8 ecu work with a z6 head or will i need to convert to an obd1 ecu?

ok here is what i am working with........d16y7 block(131xxx miles), d16z6 head(91xxx miles), port and polished d16y8 intake manifold, throttle body spacer, aem intake, full wide open header exhaust w/ no cat and 2.25" piping, d16y8 ecu, and an automatic transmission...........my newest question for this swap is: what distributor do i need to get....cuz i cant figure it out????? another question is how do i wire the d16z6 vtec solenoid to the obd2 d16y8 ecu???

what year is your car? get a sohc vtec dizzy. you will also have to wire knock sensor, vtec solonoid, iacv, vtec oil pressure switch. i assume since you are using a y7 block it is your stock block, so dont forget to ad the knock sensor before you bolt the head on. and get a gsr throttle body.

it will work, slightly different maps, but it will work. save your self a headache and convert to obd-1 and just run a p28, much better power/tuning capabilities
