Engine Swap

fmercado19 · #1 10-23-2008, 01:29 PM

I have a 91' honda civic dx (non-vtec) 1.5l. I want to swap it with a 95' honda civic 1.6l vtec engine. I have the vtec computer for the new engine and also a conversion kit as well.

And when you're done w/ that, don't come back and say "The search didn't work"... search some more.

Been covered dozens of times, i did it, and I had multiple sources to choose from.

Whats the question again? I missed it in the first post. Sounded more like a statement to me than a question.

Tony, I see your point... there was no question.. that makes this a... Hopes and Dreams thread?

If that's the case, I have nothing to say here.

If that ISN'T the case.. I still suggest the OP Ask Jeeves, he knows all.

If that's the case, I have a 1989 Honda Civic DX Sedan, 1.5 liter, port and polish, 3 angle valve grind, header, intake, full exhaust, lightened 240 lbs. I want to swap it with the J32 from a Honda Accord. I have nothing for this swap.

If that ISN'T the case.. I still suggest the OP Ask Jeeves, he knows all.

you do know that every thread you post in a thread you jacking it and making it about you

to the OP...what's your question?

And i also have the engine to complete the swap and just dont know how the wiring is going to work can someone help?

Ok, so the question is: What wiring do I need to do to install a D16Z6 in my car with a conversion harness?

Now my question is: What kind of conversion harness did you get that didn't come with instructions?

I ordered a Boomslang OBD0-OBD1 MPFI conversion harness for one of my hatches. It came with instructions, which are also easy to find online, and tells you exactly what all needs to be done. Ofcourse, the way I am, I modified it a little more than they did and I don't have to run as many wires back to the ECU harness as their instructions call for.

Obviously, you didn't note the sarcasm in that post... nor did you notice the agreement w/ Tony that there was never a question asked. Good eye, my friend.

OP - The instructions for most harnesses from reputable companies are available on their websites. You may also be able to find a copy of then by using Google.

i type the truth

fmercado19 · #12 10-25-2008, 02:34 PM

My question is how do i complete the swap. I already have the conversion kit obdo to obd 1, d16z6 engine and also the vtec computer. I will also need to convert from dpfi to mpfi. What steps do i take, and where do i begin. Please reply.

The first one contains specific info on the z6 swap.

FrodoGT · #14 10-25-2008, 03:32 PM

Since you have a conversion harness you really only need to do link 2 and 3, which are the same thing, the mpfi swap. You will need to redo your distributor wiring as well. The first link just has tips on getting the engine into the car, like which mounts to use etc.

Tony · #15 10-25-2008, 03:53 PM

Ok, I was taking up for you before, but now you go and create another thread asking the same question you finally asked in your other thread?

EDIT: Ok, look, it merged right into the old thread flawlessly. Don't create new threads asking the same question. If you want help, you will have to help us help you when we ask a simple question.

You still didn't answer my question: What harness did you get and why do you not have instructions with it?

If you want a DPFI to MPFI How-to, I just recently did a How-to on it, with pictures, showing a few different ways to go about doing the swap. Check the FAQ...which I also just recently went through and made it easier for noobs to look through.
