D16z6

ok i have a 90 hatch with a d15 pos ok well i have a new motor its a d16z6 the thing i need to know is what the hell to do about the wiring harness i got the whole car still its a 95 ex auto trans what do i do about the harness and the ecu

not sure what you're asking here. Do you have a 90 hatch that you're putting the motor from the 95 ex in? First if yes you have a hydraulic trans in the 95 and a cable in the 90 hatch. Second z6 is vtec >91 no vtec so you'll have to run the vtec wires. Ecu you'd have to use the 95 one. IMO all a pain in the ass for just a z6

well wait here is the thing his car is obd0 and his engine that he is putting in is obd1 so there is a problem. he is going to need a convertor if they even have one like that. second he is using a cable tranny because his car is cable and he has a cable tranny now just use the one you already have, since you said that the z6 is an auto. the wiring is going to be up to you if you can find yourself a chip pr3 it will do you better and you don't have to wire much but the vtec. or you can rewire the car to match that obd1 set up and also you are going to have to a convert the ecu to manual or get an ecu that is manual so you got some work to do there man i hope this helps!

Ive seen this swap all too much, Just save the money to get a real motor. At least one that will give you some respect. 125hp isnt much, Especially when going from a car with like 90hp?!?! All you need is bolt ons to your D15 to produce the power of a D16z6....w/o the pain in the ass wiring.

easy tiger, he never said if he has an auto in the current 90 hatch. know your roll

You either need an auto harness from the EG coupe, EG Auto trans computer, and ECU too. Wire it up in your car. It will be easier than trying to use your stock harness, IMO if you had a manual i would say go for it, its easier, but you have a TCM and ECU which is going to be a beeeeyatch. Good luck with that nightmare. Oh and you gotta convert odb0 to 1

If your car is a 5 speed just use your existing tranny. Probably your best bet for a tranny would be from a crx si. You can either use a pr3 ecu or convert to obd1 with an obd0-obd1 adaptor along with a p28

yeah im thankful for conversion harnesses.
