Re: Will it fit...
before you get destroyed, check the FAQ's all the info you wanted is in there about motor swaps (section 6)

Re: Will it fit...
You need to put the question in the title! You will get so much more help that way.
1.6 non v from what car? D16y7?
If so, yes, it will fit, but may require a little work to get it perfect.

Will a D16 angine fit a D15 tranny?
I have a 1994 Civic DX with a knocking rod in which I would like to swap out for a 1.6 liter non vtec engine. Here's my dilemma... I have no idea if this swap will work. What can I do to make this swap work (besides buying a new tranny to fit the engine)?

Re: Will a D16 angine fit a D15 tranny?
as said many times, D series engines work with any d series trannies, B series with B series, H/F series with H/F series and Ks with Ks.
In short, yes the D15 tranny should bolt up to the D16

FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions, On HT is a list that practically covers any and everything you'd ever want to know or try with your civic, and i mean ANYTHING. Ps. i said should because something can always go wrong or your tranny could have some unforseen damage of some sort. (Never know, Hypothetical)

Re: Will a D16 angine fit a D15 tranny?
I think it depends on if it's an auto or a stick...less wiring with sticks, dontcha know ^^
Plus I think the plugs for the wires are probably a different shape too...

You will use your stock harness but depending on what year car vs. engine as well as what d16 will depend on if you have to change any of the wiring

Re: Do I need a new wiring harness?
The transmission does not decide if you change the harness, unless it's a auto. If it is, your going to have alot more then that to worry about.
