Wanted Info: D16Y6 Motor
Can anyone give me any info on this motor?? I have a chance to pick it up pretty
cheap and need to know any details (specs) on it. Is it VTEC?? what car it came
from (i was told 96-98 civic). I want to put in an 88 CRX Si, the head is missing
so i have no idea if it was vtec.......... i know the D16Y8 was vtec, so i need to
know about this one........

Re: Wanted Info: D16Y6 Motor (BigDaddi)
hmmm. I'm looking in my haynes manual (ya, I know the manual is CRAP), and I don't see a D16Y6... I see a y5 and a y7...? the y5 is that economy vtec garbage that doesn't really add any power (saw a kid running TWENTIES at the track with this in a dx 
), and the y7 is non vtec. COuld your post contain a typo, maybe? or has anyone else heard of this oddball? Do yourself a favour and get the D16Z6 or D16Y8. I've got a Y8 in my CRX, and it feels good down low (haven't had the chance to mack on it, have to break in the clutch) but I've tested VTEC in 1st and it PULLS.
