So here's the thing... I have a 1994 Civic that I need a new engine for (probably) and I need to know... Will a 1.6 liter non vtec engine fit in my car? please explain.

before you get destroyed, check the FAQ's all the info you wanted is in there about motor swaps (section 6)

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 drop in, you might have an issue with motor mounts, and definitely gonna have to changed the motor to odb1 or use the odb2 harness

it is from a D16y7 but would i need to get a new computer for the car to make it work right?

If the hole is big enough maybe ....

Otherwise yes fits, lil fit of coverting , couple of wires ran,

I just wish I could know for sure what ill need to do before i drop the engine in there. will it bolt right up to the tranny?

Have you checked the FAQs section?

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)?

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

x2, did you try searching? FAQs section has tons of useful information.

Should and will are two different things though. and im new to this website so please tell me wtf FAQs is bub. lol

Plus... Do I need a new wiring harness and manifold and everything also to make the transition work?

98civdx

The transmission WILL bolt on.

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)

But will I need the new wiring harness? Because i don't see how that FAQs section will help me with that paricular question

Texas4door

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...

CivicDynamo94

well im lookin for tha automatic wiring harness.

CivicDynamo94

will it need a new wiring harness if its for the automatic??

CivicDynamo94

If I am bolting a d16 engine up to a d15 tranny will I need a new wqiring harness to go along with the hook up?

Shadowe622

well is the motor from the same year car or not? if its a obd1 d16 with a ob1 car the wiring shouldnt be much different. But you didnt specify where the d16 came from.

usdmed9

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

98civdx

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.

98civdx

Is the car a auto?

This is why you need to include this info in the first damn post.
