i have the opurtunity to buy a 06 type -s swap with only 500 miles on it

i drive an 03 si with a greddy turbo kit and kpro

and i was looking for a k20a2 and stumbled across this z1 swap

my question is the motor compatible with the 02-04 rsx/ep3 wiring on the engine side?
i know the newer rsx's needed an adapter for kpro on the ecu side (so im not worried about that)

will everything work okay sensors vtc and all the rest or will i have to hook it up a weird way?

and the thoughts on boosting the z1 bad idea or will the motor work better than an k20a2 one

if everything seems good and you guys give me the green light ill prolly pick up the swap this weekend but if not im shitcanning the whole idea

The engines are the same as far as sensors go. The trasmission you wiold be better off keeping your transmission, or getting an 02-04 transmission. Keep your existing wiring harness in the car. Then use the K-Pro to tune it.
