dx enigne question

[bhacker9]

I have a 94 civic dx with the 1.5 sohc in it. I have noticed that there isn't many parts for this engine and was wondering if the parts for a 1.6 would work. I wanna swap but money is tight but i still wanna build the motor up so i have more go then show. thanks

that there isn't many parts for this engine

are you crazy, there is loads of parts out there, maybe not like the 1.6, but yes there are cams, turbos, superchagers, pulleys fuel component, full exhuast, here try this site www.nopi.com.

dont waste your money. you can buy a d16z6 for the price of a header for the 1.5

where can u buy d16z6's at??? i wanna kno cuz i might be going to get one whenever i get the money

 

[Tom]

dont waste your money. you can buy a d16z6 for the price of a header for the 1.5

for less than $300.00, you may be right, but not to reliable of a motor for that cheap.

save save save.......hold off for a b16 buddy

 

[Tom]

a b16 is more seasonable to save for than a d16z6

 

[td-civ]

save up and get a b16 all the money u spend on that motor or to buy a d16 can go to a b16 save and get a b16

hey, i like my Z6. it was only like 300.00 or somthing. my friends getting an entire swap done for 1200. including cost of motor, trans, a brand new act clutch, ecu, mounts, labor, and the guys custom bending him a cat back. The motor itself only has like 20,000 miles on it, and if we were gonna do the swap, he said he wanted like $450 for the motor and trans.

i need a good swap but automatic for my 93 4 door. what do u guys suggest?

 

[5thGenCX]

the D motor is lighter and if modded right, can be a beast. It all comes down to cost, but i'd go B if cost is an issue and you're willing to save up. Not to mention less moving parts on the D.

ouch steep price. D series are interchangable as far as I know, not to mention you're not swapping a Z DOHC 1.5 litre in so it should just be a direct engine bolt on.

To the original poster... B16C5 or D16Y8 turbo is the way to go. If you go B16 then P&P + high CR and if you go "cheap" route, go D16 + t3/t4 + custom everything else with Hondata200 ecu or even a AEM EMS if you have 1500 to shell out.

b16c5 huh................ right, that dosent exist. and actually, thats not bad considering the motor has 20,000 miles. not to mention the cost of labor for that would be insanly higher. plus, we need new mounts, because my friend has a broken one. and, a BRAND NEW trans and act clutch, custom exaust, thats pretty cheap for all that s**t man.

Hey I like my D15 and have managed to get alot of good parts for it. For awhile I was considering a swap I asked everyones opinion but everyone had a diffrent one. So I decided to stick with the D15 and have bolted on some good parts. I just got headers a ported throttle Body from a z6 a OBX crome ported intake manifold. I have a zex kit and a zex cam and I am going to be getting a zex flywheel. So There are loads of parts and I have been pritty succesful at pulling some good power out of my D15. I am also getting a SI tranny. In my opinion I would stick with the D15 because you can mod it one piece at a time without car downtime if you have a small pocket. I am not running mine till its done but that is just me. I am also looking into a turbo.

c5 is the ITR (JDM Integra.. ya know the DC2?) head.

So in fact, there is such thing as a b16c5.
Same concept as LSVTec or K24a2 (Frankensteins)

But on second thought I wouldn't recomend it... ITR heads are very expensive.

 

[boricuacvc]

what can i do to my automatic without converting it?

1994civicdx, How much shot are you ruinning and have you upgraded your pistons or anything like that?

do you plan on taking your whip to the strip? if not then why would you put NAWZZ on it y0!

the anti-stunna/rice

for daily driver either build up your NA or go SC/Turbo.

^^ It would be cheaper to just get a Civic TypeR B16B, what you said is dumb cuz you still won't get the power of a CTR or ITR motor because of the lower compression pistons.

I am running a zex 55 shot. I did put new valves in first due to a higher milage. I didnt do anything to the pistons. I just bought a turbo setup today so I am going to be putting that into play.
