Should be a straight up bolt in swap. But you'll have to convert to the same OBD as the motor, and make sure you get all of it. Motor, tranny, ecu, anything else.

you need to convert from OBD1 to OBD2.... only thing thats really different is your distibuter.... just use your H23 dizzy and you will be just fine.... then you need to run a jumper wire to run the Vtec. and to do that use these links:

other way around. he has an obd2 car so he needs to go obd2 to obd1. not a hard swap. you will have to wire vtec.
