I have a intake manifold, throttle body and IACV off of a 92 DX if you feel like wasting your time :chuckles:

Dood, seriously... just get the whole motor/tranny combo out of that car with the engine harness and ECU. It's easier than the head swap. I bet if you had the keys, you could still start that motor You might want to do that just to be sure. Just leave it assembled.

You can easily pull it, but don't bother doing it without air tools. You'll waste so much time and probably injure yourself. I bet your uncle has a gas powered one at his shop. You'll need an air-ratchet, an air-impact wrench, and a air chisel (with a 1/4" punch attachment for the shift-linkage dowel-pin) and you could pull that engine in an hour and a half with someone's help.

Pull the axles, remove the exhaust, and shift linkage. Leave the engine harness connected, and just unplug the main harness connections near the firewall. It will all come out fine in one piece. The z6's engine harness connections works with your existing DX chassis harness, so all you need is to add (4?) wires for the VTEC setup. No wiring will be needed for the o2 sensor if you keep the z6 engine harness.

Some others like Supermac88 have done this swap already and probably could answer the VTEC wiring better than I could.

Offer your uncle $250 + your old running motor/tranny for the whole drivetrain and ECU. He's family. He might take less than that. Ask him...
