I have a 94 CX with the D15B8 (non v-tec OBD1) and I just picked up a D16Y8 (v-tec OBD2) I was wondering if it is worth the hassle for the OBD 1-2 switch or if I can make my wiring work and just add the v-tec wiring. Any help from someone who has done this would be greatly appreciated.

Either way you will have to change out the dizzy and all the sensors on the head to keep it OBD1 easier to just find a ex or si engine harness and use it to do the conversion with as well as all the sensors you would need. or find someone to selling a complete Z6 swap with harness and pick it up.

Can I just use my dizzy and sensors from the old head and basically follow the Mini-me DIY?

You will need a d15b7 dizzy for that head to make it work right there are a ton of right ups on it d-series.org most sensors should work, might need to change out the coolant ones though so that v-tec engages properly as well as the oil pressure sender unit. My friend was going to put a complete y8 into his 95 coupe and we found this info out so he is using the block and putting a z6 head onto it.

or an obd1 to obd2 alternator harness is $35

Ignore the knock sensor and cfk sensor on the block. Also the injector slips will be different.

I don't know of a JDM DZ16... do you mean JDM DOHC ZC?
That's an old motor, I think your $$ could be better spent buying a LS swap for under $1k.
Or go with a JDM D15b for about half the cost and power will be about the same PLUS you'll have vtec.
