Default SOHC Vtec in a 90 Hatch

A few guys at my work said, switching a 96 SOHC Vtec motor into my 90 DX hatch is pretty hard, being as the hydro tranny and the cable tranny... Now what i need to know is, what do I need to get it to work...thxs

well get a 88-91 si tranny and ecu. to change from dual point to multi point get white plug injectors, wiring harness, resistor pack, and distributor, intake manifold (also from a 88-91 si or hf) and wire vtec to a switch. its pretty simple.

I can convert a PM6 (EF/CRX Si) ECU to vtec for you.
For the tranny, there are conversion linkages to use a hydro tranny in a non-hydro car, I'm not sure if they work for D-series stuff (most are targeted toward B-series swaps), but look around. Hasport and a few other companies make them..

You can use the 96 ECU, yeah..
You'll have to get an OBD0-OBD2 conversion harness, and convert a couple other things over, and add the wiring for the second O2 sensor, and a few others things I'm forgetting about.
