So i picked up a rotten 92 VX (D15Z1) from a friend last night, and i have a 97 4dr (D16Y7) daily driver with 300 000km's on it that need rings/ and syncros. I commute 100k highway daily for work and am considering swapping the OBD1 D15, in in place of the of the OBD2 Y7. I originally bought the vx for the light rims, and high ratio tranny to try and increase my mpg. I know there are harnesses out the to support OBD2 to 1 swaps and the mounts are all the same. I assume the wiring will be similar to swapping an OBD1 B series into a 6th gen, with some extra wires for the VTEC-E stuff. Again, anyone with info/ ideas.......thanks alot.
Anyone ever try to swap a D15Z1 (VX) into a 6th gen?

if you were looking for power, you probably should have looked elsewhere..
the reason for doing this swap is to save money on gas. This is my commuting car.....i'm not looking to make power/ speed. I own 05 gsxr750 for when i want to go fast and turn, and a 87 S10 with a LT1/700r4 for when i want to go fast and not turn. Anyway fuel is $1.30 a litre here now and shows no chance of dropping in price , and i pile on 500km's a week on this civic. gtg.
