Engine Setup

SO IVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A D16 DEL SOL SI MOTOR IN MY 89 HATCH DX. IVE FOUND A LONG BLOCK FOR ABOUT 500 BUX. BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY CLEAR ON WHAT ALL I NEED TO MAKE THAT MOTOR COMPLETE AND RUNNING. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT ELSE I'M GOING TO NEED AND FROM WHERE?
ANY HELP WILL DO. THANX!!:

depends on how you wanna wire it and if you wanna use that tranny....

i still wanna use the same tranny and wire the v tech whichever way is the right way. i don't want to to have to deal with those kinds of probs. this is my first run with a honda i'm kinda pissin in the wind right now so i'll take what ever help i can get

Well if u said it came with the trans then yeh its the wrong thing to say;)



Long block- no trans

Short block- no head or trans

Complete block- well u know....:D

even a complete block wont have a trans. say something like oh i got engine tranny ecu something like that so we know exactly what u have, or u can take a pic of it and we can tell u what u got

WELL THEN I'M RIGHT CAUSE I JUST MEANT I WILL WANT TO USE MY DX TRANNY. AND I SCREWED THE NUMBERS UP WITH MY MOTOR ITS A D16Z6.

Wait i said it wrong.. not complete block...COMPLETE SWAP:) Thats my fault.

u should go look on www.4thgenerationcivic.com they can link u to numerous web sites that tell u what u need to do a sohc vtec swap in a 4g civic, also the site gives instructions on the mpfi swap
