hey guys bought a d15z1 and my EG isnt a vx,I have no clue what to do to get it running/or what will i have to get?

If someone can take me in the right direction i would really appropriate.

Thanks guys. and i search and didn't find noting.

My eg model is a DX.

also i want to upgrade the intake manifold to a z6 or y8.

What model of eg do you have? That would be a little helpful.

Sorry its a DX model.

I m not completely sure but I believe you can use the vx harness and ecu. You would also have to wire the Vtec

alright,well my car is wired for vtec already.so you think using the VX harness would be better? and anyone know if its plug n play?

why are you putting it in your car? If it's for fuel economy I don't understand why you would put the z6/y8 intake manifold on it.

You'll need the correct ecu (p07) for the motor to run correct and wire it for it's 5-wire 02 sensor. There are also egr related plugs you'll need from the vx harness. There is also a black egr box that attaches to the firewall you'll need.

I had one of these in my old EF and I averaged 45-50 mpg

I got the motor for a good price,for some reason i thought it would maybe make it easier with a different IM manifold.

Do you think it would be easier to just get a VX harness?

and thanks for the link.

having the harness would be nice but not necessary. you can find compatible plugs for the egr and use those. since you already are wired for vtec you would just have to wire the 5-wire o2 sensor after that. here is a link with pictures of what the egr plugs look like http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=1546, you'll have to scroll a few images down. Search "d15z1" on that site and you will find a ton of info.
