I couldn't agree more Kai.

PHiZ is the man when it comes to ECUs and wiring and stuff... listen to him.

Anything IS possible, but I do not foresee this being an easy task. Also, are you 100% sure that the head from a D16Y8 will fit on a D15B7?

as i said before.. i agree that its rediculous.. but he is insistant on doing it.. i still say just go obd1

when doing OBD2/OBD1 swaps the connectors you have to worry about changing are: distributor, alternator, injectors.

Now you can either switch the connectors on your OBD1 harness with the ones on the OBD2 harness, or you can switch the distribuot and injectors themselves.

You will be able to switch the injectors, but you vtec and non-vtec distributors are not interchangable, so you will have to splice either the harness or the distributor connectors.
