Distibuter difference

[johnb16a2]

Hi,

Just a quick question.

Is there any real differences between the distributers available from 88-91?

I picked up a distributer from a 91 4d LX and am wondering if it will work in my 89 Si.

Thanks.

Do you have a b16a2 like your username says or the d16a6 that comes in the Si?

Actually I have both, the b16a2 resides in my 2k civic si.

Yup, my question is about the d16a6.

Thanks.

BTW, please don't reply to my post unless you have pertinent information.j/k

But seriously, any info is appreciated.

Thanks again.

Thanks but I know the basics. I'm asking if there are any functional differences, ie if I put this 91 lx dizzy into my 89 Si will it work? TTYL

NO IT WILL NOT WORK. IM sure there is some way to totally ghetto rig it but it wont, it will be easier to get a d16a6 one. It would be like putting vtec in a non-vtec cylindar head. It could be done but not cost effective

it would work if you swapped from MPFI to DPFI. a DPFI Si. now that would be something special...



seriously though, no it won't work. a general rule of thumb: always keep ecu, dizzy, and intake mani matched from the same make/model. your si ecu will be sending enough gas flow for multi injectors and only the spark for dual injectors.

lol Yeah, a DPFI Si would be something special....

Thanks all, I tried to used the ignitor at least and it didn't work either, the dizzy back home in the junkyard sleeping.....

My Si must sit for a few more days....
