ok i got a jdm d15b block with a d16y8 vtec head in my 98 civic... that means a obd2... the head is obd1....right now i got a p06 ecu running it... not chipped or converted to vtec.. so this is my question... if i swap it out for a p28 ecu that does control vtec that is obd1 what if any wiring am i going to have to do... since i already have the p06 do i have to worry about the o2 sensor or is it just plug in and play.... i have no check engine light or anything and i have no o2 sensors on the header and i have a test pipe so no o2 sensor there... thank you for looking and if you know what i have to do let me know

you would have to purchase a obd1 stepdown harness in order to use a obd1 p28 ECU 2nd o2 sensor well be disabled..
