[harvey69us]

hey there i installed a d16y8 motor in my 88 crx hf now i didnt have the distributor for it or the ecu for it ....... so i installed the old distributor from the zc engine and im using the old ecu wich is non v tech bnow i had to install the old intake manifold as well to make it work so what i wanna kow is what ecu , distributor, and intake manifold do i need to make it work with the v tech ...... and what kinda wiring do i need to do thank you

the best thing to do would be to convert it all over to run OBD1 - the other option would be to leave everything as you have it and get a PR3 or a PW0 OBD0 B16A ECU and add wiring for the VTEC, knock sensor and 2nd O2 sensor - the B16A ECU is not going to have the correct fuel and ignition maps for the Y8 and you should get the ECU chipped with the maps for the P28 ECU
