so i found a real nice shell to trade with but instead he has a dx instead of the ex i had.
I have a full d16z6 swap so i was wondering how everything would work with my wiring which was from a ex to the now dx.do i need my old computer and all or what ? what do i need and not need ?
could use all info possible for this will my first honda swap.
hit me up with all terms though ive done swaps before

What year is the shell your getting if its a 92 its pre wired for vtec, but if its 93 to 95 you will have to add the vtec wires to the shock tower connector and then your ex harness should plug and play, this is assuming there both eg's. And you will want your old ecu if its for your engine (p28). As far as swapping it shouldn't be difficult at all. It would just be simply transferring the stuff over :thumb:

The wiring is simple, ive always used a haynes manual and looked at there regular wiring diagram, I would recommend searching a junk yard and getting an extra set of ecu plugs, I normally get a doaner set and then take them to a bench grinder with a wire brush and remove the plastic to get to.the.pin so you can just plug in the one to your empty it in your plug, and run your wires accordingly also you'll want a doaner set of stock tower plugs for.that side of it.to tie it in so it looks factory, I hope this makes some sense, its not hard to do at all though, and here's a thread I'm sure most of.the wiring info is in. You may have to sift through some other info though :thumb:
