i don't even think you need all that. (new that is) becuse it should be a direct plug and play type deal. pull the non vtac and put the new one in. unless your going from a 2 fuel injector to a four, then you will need some new stuff, don't listen to me alone though i could be wrong, ask rick and or boner, even steve (maybe he's a b guy like me) but rick and boner are d guys, they will know.

D16z6 or D15b vtec
D16a6 Si Tranny or ZC <--better gear ratio
Harness isn't required since your MPFI already but it's always good to get a harness outta a 92-95 vtec since it has all the plugs.
P28 OBD-1 ECU
Rywire Kit has the dist plugs, obd-0 to obd-1 jumper
Doing it might as well buy ya some polly motor mounts just cause but you can use the stocker's
D16a6 Si Half shafts or if you use the zc you have to get the intermidate shaft and equal length halfshafts

Not to many do the zc tranny but I threw that up just incase you was looking into something different

should be just about all you need if not all of it, decide the motor you want and go from there.

Didn't read that part all I seen was crx, supposebly the splines are different but the person to talk to about that would be schmoe. He has a z6 swap in his HF and I don't think he swapped the hubs.

Yes, you have to swap hubs :boxing:
