Hey, this isn't to piss you off, or flame you, but it's DOHC, not doch.. it stands for dual over-head cam. and i'm not sure if it comes with a carb or not

i'm still learning here too

early jdm ones came with a carb. very similar to the carb that came on canadian CRX's some early ones even came with dual carbs

OK, which engine are we talking about?

The '86-'89 1.6L DOHC D16A1-ZC Integra motors are fuel injected. JDM engine importers will not import '85-'87 Civic/CRX SI motors (also D16A1-ZC) because most people won't understand why the motor they're getting won't directly bolt into their car. The only way to get a 1.6L DOHC JDM motor is to get one from an '86-'87/'88-'89 Integra, but you will also need to swap the trans, knuckles, CV shafts, etc, from an '86-'89 Integra.

If you have a 1.5L motor (FI or carbed) your intake manifold WILL NOT fit on the 1.6L DOHC motor! The only way to run carbs on a 1.6L DOHC D16A1 motor (JDM or USDM) is to construct your own intake manifold.

The only way to get a JDM motor that will swap in and be compatable with your intake manifold without any additional parts will be to get an '84-'87 1.5L EW/D15 Civic/CRX motor. This motor is mechanically the same as the USDM version and will be a SOHC motor just like yours.

In a nut shell...
Yes the DOHC 1.6L D16A1 is an SI/Integra motor. No, they are not carbed.

Also, if you are looking for a D16A1-ZC motor, keep looking. My local JDM engine importer is asking $800 for an '86-'87 Integra motor without the trans or $1,200 with. The trannys are the same as the USDM trannys which are pretty common in junk yards for under $100. If you plan to swap in a 1.6L DOHC D16A1 you will be making a trip to the junk yard anyway to search for the additional parts needed.

.................................................. .................................................. .......dammit! i know what it means!!! its just that i type to damn fast and i mixed up a letter or two....but thanks for the correction.....

.....anyway..about the motor.....the guy says that the intake manifold would bolt right up.......he is selling a 86 civic hatch with that swap and its carbed...think it was a holly...(dont ask how cause im still wondering how the hell he did it.....) he showed me a time slip and it did 15.6@89mph the 1/4 mile......it was the same manifold my car has....it looks like the d16a1 but.....if what you say is true(lxndr)that the intake manifold wont bolt on....then what motor can it be....?

lxndr · 02-11-2005, 03:53 PM

You've actually seen this motor?

Ask him what the engine ID# and year is for the motor he is using. This info will be very helpful since right now we are just guessing as to what motor it could be.

Granted, I don't know everything about D16A1 motors, but I am currently building one and have done tons, upon tons, upon tons, upon tons of research on this motor. The ports on a D16A1 intake manifold are oval as opposed to round like the EW/D15, and the bolt pattern is completely different between the motors. I suppose using the carbed intake could be done, but you would have to redrill the holes for the mounting studs and port match the intake.

If it is a D16A1 motor that he is using, ask him how he got the carbed manifold to work on this motor. I'm curious because this is the first time I've heard of someone using a stock carbed manifold on a D16A1.

Did he also mention that you will need the trans, CV shafts, knuckles, shift linkage and tranny mount from an 86-'89 Integra in order to swap in this motor? I'm not trying to talk you out of this motor, I just want to make sure that you are well informed, because it sounds like this guy isn't telling you everything.

Now I have to ask, why would anyone want to starve the potential of the D16A1 by using a 1.5L carbed intake? By using this manifold you are creating a bottle neck from the carb to the cylinder head. If you compare both motors, you'll see that the intake ports on the D16A1 are considerably bigger.

Hi I Would Get Your Caliper Checked Coz The Cylinder May Be Ceased It Can Be Fixed Temp With Copper Grease But If It Is Ceased Then The Seal That Lubricates The Cylinder Must Be Burst So Get It Checked Out Ok, Later M8

Sounds interesting.. I've never heard of the d16a1 using carbs either...

So, I wonder when drew's coming back from Vegas.

Keep us posted on that motor build up, lxndr. I can just imagine how much fun that is... I'll be doing that in a while with a b18 for my beast. Bleh. I hate mornings.

lxndr · 02-13-2005, 08:47 PM

Does anyone know the bore, stroke and compression ratio for a B18 or B20 off the top of their head? Cylinder head cc would help too.

I'm just wondering if I can bore or resleve the D16A1 block to accept larger pistons.

87civicfranky · 02-14-2005, 06:59 AM

the dude says that i can chose to use my tranny or the one it brings...he said that he could use my bottle neck manifold..or the one that the motor brings.........?????ive cheked the engine and i think that its a european.....i think it is.....cant find the engine code but im working on it...

stinky817 · 02-14-2005, 09:04 AM

hey, here's a link that has a pic of the place to find the engine code

If this is the case, it can't be a D16A1, unless the motors are different in Puerto Rico. In which case you should hoard all the D16A1 carbed manifolds you can get and sell them on Ebay!

lxndr · 02-14-2005, 01:55 PM

Does his motor look like this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33615

Or does it look like this one?

Also, if your car is an AWD Civic wagon, a D16A1 will bolt up to your trans.

Wow... Nice convertable...
