i have a 1994 honda civic lx with a 1.5 non vtech motor and i found a vtech 1.5 motor that will fit with no problem i just need to know how the wiring goes. i dont think the wiring harness is the same. can someone tell me everything that will need to be modified. thanks.















Complete Motor















Complete Head and Block















Intake Manifold















Distributor















Injectors















Fuel Rail















Power Steering Pump















Throttle Body















Exhaust Manifold















Alternator















Starter















5 Speed Transmission































this is all the things it comes with. what else would i need.















the vtech motor is a D15B and i think the factory motor is called the same thing when looked up in the computers.

well it all depends what car the other motor came out of cuz 1.5 single vtecs can be found in crx's old school civics ..etc.. if thats the case thenall you would have to do is change a few plugs from the injectors and the distributor that you can get from your wiring harness on your old motor. but you would still have to run a vtec wire to the ecu... most people do it directly from the vtec solonoid to the ecu. but if the motor came out of an eg (92-95) like yours, all you would have to do is run the vtec wire. if you would need to do ANY splicing which i highly doubt- but theres some wierd sh*t sometimes- it would have to be the fuel injector plugs and the distributor like i said before.....but its HIGHLY unlikely. but good luck man.....and i see on your list your missing a couple things but you just might have forgotten...but the axels the mounts and the shift linkage...and youll need to change your ecu so your vtec will pop

Do a motor swap get aD16Y8















ull need the engine of course















the cpu















the tach















the wiring harness















but by the sound of it u want to change ur hole set up















so just go D168 n get the cpu ,tranny,tech,and thats really all ull need for a basic set up

its "vtec", not vtech. and that would be a lot of money for a 20hp gain. just save up and buy a fast car, it will be much cheaper
