92 civic engine......questions.....

will this fit? what is needed and ow much work is involved?

also do you think 450.00 is a good price? (23,xxx miles)

what model is your hb ? si, dx ? what model car is the engine coming from ? ex, dx ? but yes a 92 civic motor will fit in your car, and you can use your stock tranny. is it a complete motor ? $450 is good maybe alittle high if your getting the d16z6 sohc vtec, if its a dx motor then thats way to high

Yea a 92 civic engine will fit. Only one thats really worth it is the d16z6 which is the sohc vtec one.

its coming out of an ex, and yes its a vtec, so that price is about average? also, do these engines have any problems i should take into consideration? and...one more question...is a 88-91 hb std lighter than a 92 hb ex?

oh yea, and does it bolt right in? and what all would i need other than a cpu and vtec controller?

a 88-91 std is lighter. it will bolt right in. Just make sure you swap to MPFI of you still have DPFI. Other than that, i think all you need is the ecu and some type of vtec controller

you might wanna think about getting the wiring harness if you are changing from DPFI to MPFI. It will make things easier. Also, I think you will need a resistor box. If your using your tranny, yu should have no problems with axles. But, if your going 4spd to 5spd, I woud check and see if they are the same. I'm switching from D15 t D16A6 soon so these are my concerns. Good luck and keep us up to date.

no...it's one way or the other.

you can used the ecu (or as you put it, cpu) and distributor from the z6 and get a wiring harness so that you adapt the ecu to work

OR

use a 4th gen ecu, distributor, and a v-tec controller

the p28 (sohc v-tec ecu) controls the v-tec and no need for a v-tec controller if you use it.

any other questions? just did the same swap a couple of months ago. click the >v-tec inside< link in my sig. to read about the 3 day experence :D

hehe, ecu cpu.....all in all its the same thing, i just got home from work when i posted that so i was in a computer state of mind, anyway....ami, thats the same engine i am getting isnt it>? how much faster are you and what kind of #'s do you run?

i have no idea what numbers i run. one of these days soon, the car will go to the track. however, i'm one of those people who builds their car for personal pleasure...not to shave seconds...ya dig? :D

i have noticed a difference in the a6 and y8. let's not even get into v-tec. :licker: we all know that factor. the a6 and y8 are extremely close, a lot of the parts are the same. so i really just expected the y8 to act like the a6 with and extra kick when v-tec engages. i was wrong. noticed first thing that the y8 opens up a little quicker.

i almost felt like i did when i went from driving dx to si. it's no huge difference...but, if you know your car...you'll feel it.
