Looking for a more than reliable D16Y5 engine replacement. What suggestions for engine replacement and for company? I am more interested in the mpg, ~40mpg with the D16Y5 than any other aspect. A complete remanufactured engine is preferable, are there any suggestions? (many thanks)

Where do you live and what do you drive?

You can find rebuilt D16Y5 engines online but it'll cost you quite a bit as its not one of the preferred sporty engines that many want. I personally dont know of any specific rebuilder recomendations , so all I can suggest is to hunt down a low mileage JDM engine and save money.

Its best to get a more reliable and more responsive manual tranny over the CVT thats more sluggish in response & much more costly to repair. Flush the manual tranny every 40,000 miles or so and use AC Delco Synchromesh Friction Modifier fluid and it'll last you a lifetime. These are my suggestions based purely on increasing likelyhood of longevity.

If you choose a CVT tranny instead, find the best fluid there is for CVT trannys & flush it every other year. Those trannys are very expensive and hard to find and known for being problematic, from what I recall.
