might be better off finding a d16y8. for the Z6 you'd need the p28 ecu and a conversion harness, then you'll have a lot of electrical work in the engine bay depending on which harness you start out with. I believe its also illegal to go from obd2 to obd1 in your state.

I was going to say I happen to need a Z6 and know a guy getting rid of his Y8 but California is a bit far for that deal :D

^Exactly, just swap another y8 in. It'll make life a lot easier, especially when it comes time to sell the car
