Well The Problem Is My 1993
Civic Cx Now Has A 1996 Di6y7 Engine It But I Used The 1.5 L Intake After Match Porting The Intake To The Y7 Head And I Also Used The Distributor Fron The 1.5 The Engine Runs Good But I Cant Seem To Get Anything More Than 10 Degree Advance With The Jumper Connected Near The Processor For Ign Timing. Does Anyone Have A Suggestion How I Can Get More Spark Advance,or Did I Do Something Wrong In My Setup.

I have a 92 LX and also got a D16Y7 with 36,500 miles from my friend and used my old stuff but didnt have to port match anything at all. The car started up beautifully and runs NICE. You did something wrong. He gave me ALLL accessories with the engine but did need to use any of them.
Your engine probbaly looks like this now

engine is direct bolt on. it even came with a manual tranny but I kept my automatic and put the manual tranny in the garage

the pics look good...........you know my engine runs good also ,but match ported hopefully distributes air / fuel a little better. rite now i am averaging about 38 to 40 mpg with this setup. still don't know why the timing when i look at it is only 10 deg max.

I think the timings rite...i put a new belt on prior to installing the engine .The crank key was straight up and the cam marks were straight across. the engine starts fine and i am now getting 43 mpg over the weekend. I am stumped with this one any more suggestions out there!

So far I drive the car at posted speeds getting a feel for the car with the swaped engine. I got 350 miles on a 10 gallon tank / when i refueled i put 8.24 gallons back in .....averaging @ 42 to 43 mpg. Most of the driving is highway with a 5 speed manual.
