Default Re: Civic Engine Swap question

There is no such thing as a d15 vtec, 92-95 jdm civics came with a d16zc,
this guy sounds kind of shady to me, another reason is teh wiring, it is NOT
in your dx's wiring harness, and i forgot today, but there is a 3rd wire for
wiring your vtec, sorry, slipped my mind, there is a green, blue and black.
