Default 88 Honda CRX(DX) Engine Swap Help Needed Badly

Hello all, First time working with Hondas so please go easy on me. Well I have an '88 Honda CRX(DX) Model that is my brother's car, it is completely stock. Tranny is also stock.

Recently in doing him a favor of doing an engine swap I thought it would be easy to do and it was.

Now here is where I'm stuck and confused as I have read numerous forums and other such info and have got some honda books.

The original engine was the stock D15B2(If I'm not mistaken) 1.5 Dual Point injection.

Now after doing my research I realize that the engine I put in the car is the D16ZC(which I believe equals the D16A6). Now at the time I thought and was told that it would bolt right up and that I wouldn't have to do anymore work to it to get it running. Well it did bolt right up and tried using the old intake mannifold.

Now the car doesn't even turn on, no dash lights no nothing.

So I come to you to asking for your help in getting this running.

1. Now if I'm not mistaken I believe I need to get the Multi-point intake manny along with the throttle body.

2. I also need to get the injectors for the intake manny.

3. Unsure of(what else I need to get/need, if anything).

3a. Do I need to get a different ECU? Or can it be done other way(using the exsisting ECU).

4. I would like to make the wiring part Plug and Play(If that is possible.

Would greatly appreciate a list of compatible part's as I am unsure and still confused as to what will work and what wouldn't.

Also if someone has all the stuff needed give me a shout with price.

[EDIT] Update, I figured out why there is no power at all.
But would still like some help with the other stuff please.

Thanks to all in advance for the help.
