ecu what is the pafered ecu to use with this motor?

P28 ECU. From a 1992-1995 Honda Civic EX/Si.

what harness do i use? can i use my old one from my old d16a1?

Reuse your engine harness. Add wiring for the VTEC Solenoid, VTEC Oil Pressure, and 4-Wire O2 sensor.

how do i wire it all so the vtec works in the wire harness?

Buy an OBD0-OBD1 ECU conversion harness from RyWire. It will be self explanatory on how to wire in VTEC and the O2 sensor.

i belive it is obd1 so i have to buy the jumper harness from obdo to obd1 am i right on that?

Right. See Above.

will my flywheel and clutch work with the z6 i have a d16a1?

would someone be willing to do the wrining for me i can pay?

will my flywheel and clutch work with the z6 i have a d16a1?

You want to make sure that the clutch and flywheel match the transmission you're using. If you used the clutch and flywheel with the transmission you're going to use now, it'll work just fine.

anything but adrenaline, dont call or use them for anything, obd0-obd1 harness is pretty easy you just plug the harness in and the ecu, distributor, o2 sensor and run the wires you need, easy...

would recommend you get a harness from rywire.

Have you not read the enormous thread in the Product/Shop Reviews section about Adrenaline? Why would you waste your time with them? They just want you to spend your money with them on useless products. They thrive on kids like you that don't know this stuff. Again, JUST USE RYWIRE! If you're not going to take our advise, don't ask for it.

I am not the type of person to care if my shit is real or fake, cheap or expensive, but there are some things you just can skimp on. Lately i have batteling a bad obd0 - obd1 conversion with a no name conversion harness(not my car), and its just not worth it, i have run into cold solder joints, and other issues. Go with the RyWire it will save you huge headaches.

It take 30 minutes to get a checking account and debit card at First Community Credit Union. You get your card right there on the spot. Go do work.
