[jeef]

I though I was getting a zc vtec, but I got a d16a vtec here are a few pics, I'll post more when the swap is done. btw I bought my engine off of ebay from jdm_enginesource Great customer service and the engine is awsome looking, can't wait to hear it!



You Know what that means right, Mmm automatic engines make me happy

What is up with the second cable coming off of the throttle roller thing???
my crushed fender


What do you think so far?

I wish I had the funds right now to buy a nice sohc vtec.

Nice motor it should be nice when its in. My friend is doing the same swap in his crx with a turbo, He got the motor with trans and a hatchback for 500. As far as the second cable on the throttle rotor im not sure what it is il ask my friend if he knows.

I second that, as my throttle has one also, going straight to the cruise control box.

How are you wiring it, Are you converting to obd1 or just using a rpm switch or vtec controler?

[Hilikus Funkin]

what car did that come out of, i didnt know there was a d16a vtec

[Scott82]

usdm 92-95 civic si and 4 dr ex

[Scott82]

it is also called the d16Z6, it list both at the part store under a civic but the z6 is more common i believe, i have never seen an a6 before w/ my own eyes but there are some out there. I don't know if there are any small differences in the two but i think they are basically the same.

[Hilikus Funkin]

d16a6 is in our civics sis and ex's. thats not a usdm engine either. a usdm engine would have another number after the A (D16a6) while a jdm engine would say (d16a). I thought the jdm 92-95's came with the D15B vtec...

Nice man hope she runs good for you. First MOD TURBO lol

[Scott82]

hmm good point, didn't really notice that there wasn't an number at the end of the engine code, i just didn't look good. it also has a one wire o2 sensor too so that's another sign of jdm, my bad on that, i was thinking a6. Maybe it was in the later 92-95's or something in japan. But i kinda wouldn't mind knowing either just to know.

I am going to OBD 1, sick of the msd box and pm6 ecu that ran my mini me, I got my harness already need to soder some parts of it on. waiting on my chipped p28 ecu.

as for the engine, it confuses the hell out of me... its marked d16a and is vtec, never even heard of such a thing. I believe its obd1 due to the map sensor on the TB and the po8 intake manifold, but the O2 sensor is only one wire???? I assume its jdm due to the jap. writing on the timing belt cover, and the lack of anything after the "A" perhaps its euro or african??? I don't know.

Can't wait till I get it in there, But I'm taking my time cleaning everything and making it nice. wait till you guys see pics of my freshly painted dc header on it, its sexy for sure!

back to work I go

Your doing this the same way i am. I have the motor in the car now, just a few more things to hook up and then i am going to put in new shocks and suspention parts. Are you using a obd jumper harness or doing it all your self? Now this is something that has had me confused, if you standing in front of the car on the passanger fire wall where the map sensor is mounted on my 89 hf there are 4 vacum lines that come out of that box, i wired my map sensor to the motor and everthing, so what good is that box now. I noticed it wasnt in you car in the pics, so can i take that thing out and chunk it?
