Help ME
ok my distributor on my crx DX 1.5l died on me the other day, so i took the dizzy off my friends SI 1.6l and installed it, problem is the si dizzy has wiring for a TDC/Crank/CYL sensors, where as my DX only had the TDC/Crank sensor, so i tied off the other two wires and re wired the SI dizzy to fit my DX.
after lining up the rotor to the old location, and installing everything, i got the car to start up, but the rpm would rise and fall from 1250-1500rpm constantly. i cut it off, and tried again, but the car will not start now, it'll crank tho, and if i crank it enough, eventually the check engine light comes on reading 8, which is TDC/Crank sensor. So im at a loss here, i checked my vacuum lines, and im sure the timing is not far enough off to not start as i put the rotor in the same way i took it out. So if anyone has an idea lemme hear it. Also, what is the best D series engine(HP,TQ) that i can bolt upto my DX tranny? Thanks Guys.

either d16y8 or d16z6 (the SOHC Vtec's) or a ZC. Both those will bolt up to the tranny

D16z6's are from the 92-95 civics, and the y8 is from 96-00 civics. I got a D16Y8 at the local junkyard for $900. You could find one for alot cheaper than that, but this one had less than 8000 miles on it, so I spent the extra $$.
The specs are almost the same as the ZC. They have 10 hp less than the DOHC ZC, and only 2ft/lbs less on torque.

you car will never run right unless you get a SI ecu. you can not mix and match dizzy & ecu. get yourself a Si ecu or a Dx dizzy and your problem is solved.
ask slammed89Si...i just helped him with this problem a month or so back EDIT: it's slammed89civic....sorry audi

slap MPFI, ECU (needed for dizzy and MPFI), and Si tranny...you might as well start calling it a Si....seriously. then when the d15 goes you're ready to pull it and drop in a d16z6 or d16y8.

Sup man, it has definatley been a while since you have come on here.
I am thinking of doing MPFI also, but no time, so I will just stick with the DX tranny, and Dual Point on the SOHC ZC

not to mention but you have a Auto also, so you cant put in a manual ecu in to your car, or else it wont work with an auto tranny

well the entire dizzy seized, it wouldnt spin anymore and the rotor was cracked so i tried to just rewire the D16 dizzy onto the harness in my DX, guess it aint gonna work.
i might just go ahead and go for a swap now, b16 if i can.
