ZC Swap? What do I need?

So I just picked up a ZC OBD0 motor and tranny with a crx si ecu. I'm planning on dropping it into my EG hatch with a d15 in it. What would I need to do the swap? I'm clueless about this swap, and I'm planning to do it asap since the car is not running anymore. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much ! Now I'm just getting confused as to what I need to do indefinitely. And would I be able to use a crx si ecu in my car? And what would I need to rewire?

The last post:

"obd1 conversion is easy you have to use the motor mount and bracket off your obd1 motor for the zc to bolt up, or else it will sit wrong. the injectors are to be your old ones, as for the throttle body it will not bolt up but if you have a throttle body mounted map sensor just add a vacuum line to your old map sensor and mount it else where, now for the hard part.............. the distributor.............. you need to have a 92-95 zc twin cam distributor it can be found the only good thing is that your stock dizzy parts bolt up to the 92-95 zc twin cam dizzy...... the obd0 one is missing two bolt holes for a sensor in the distributor good luck"

Looks like motor mounts for an eg. Depending on if you stay odb0 or obd1 will determine what parts you need.

Ecu for obd0 pm7 but pg7 is preferred.
Ecu for obd1 p29

And it looks like you'll have to either swap the dizzy guts if you obd1. Obd0 factory is fine.

And the map sensor mounting will also depend on obd.



Hopefully someone else can chime in on this since it sounds like you want/need to get this done ASAP. That info is just stuff I pulled from honda-tech and dseries.

Hm... so I guess I have to find a new ecu. Do you think I'll be able to use the trans that came with it? Thanks for all your help btw.

No i dont believe the zc trans is compatible, for one its a cable clutch trans, and secondly the mounts are different.
