I have a request: I wanted to know what else I needed to gather before embarking on my own HF-Z1 quest. I have the engine (looks like all sensors, pan to the manifold complete, one side mount, stock intake box) and HF tranny (shift linkage, tranny, starter, HF flywheel). After rereading this thread a couple times, I've made a list for myself and anyone else who might want to follow you and Bunger:

1.) P07 ECU
2.) EGR box exculsive to the VX
3.) ECU conversion harness (I don't have the skills for that many wires yet)
4.) obd1 plugs for the distributor, VTEC, and VTEC oil pressure solenoid
5.) 5-wire O2 (mine came with a 4-wire, could possbily run the last one from the ECU?)
6.) driver's side mount from an obd1 car (got)
7.) 92-95 Civic HELMS Manual
8.) engine hoist
9.) anything else? (fuel lines different?)

My only other notes are I won't be running power steering (HF doesn't stock) or A/C (I can deal w/ windows down + tint). Keeping this list will cut prep time and especially install time if I have everything I need on day one of the swap. Thanks for any input, Mak

I'll make a list for you later this afternoon. Don't buy anything yet
