Which model hatch? and yes depending on your model, you will need the wiring harness from the z6 and then all you should have to do is wire up the vtec to the ecu. other than that depending on engine side motor mount that is about all you should really need. everything else is the same

It will drop right in and you'll have to wire it for.vtec if you don't have the harness from the d16z6

Oh well shit you won't have to do anything besides swap it in then. Should be good to go just make sure your engine bracket for the motor mount matches the mount and your set. other than that you will want to find a P28 if its not still in the car so that everything works properly.

Should be yeah, you won't need to do anything to the chassis harness it should just be plug and play, have you checked the harness on the motor currently to see if the vtec plug is not just dangling there. if it is that might be your factory z6 harness on that y7
