ok...im down to two choices
since i'm low on cash (and dont tell me to save for a b series) i'm debating on a d15b vtec vs. a d16z6 for my civic ex. my old motors got 260,000 miles so i need a replacement motor. which one should i go for?? i need some opinions and i plan on going turbo.

z6 but... are you sure you need a new motor and not just a tune up? that seems like mid life from all the stories and cars Ive seen.... Is there something actually wrong with it?

I had the y7/y8 mini me with the Ex tranny. Technically it wasn't a y8, but it got the job done til I got my b series. Definitely get the tranny at least.

Re: (97mini-me)
well if you already have an ex, you should have a z6, so you should just get that re-built with some nice forged internals and then save up for boost
you did say you're low on cash though... oh well

Re: (jdm123)
z6 will be the cheapest, they can be had if you pay shipping lol, people give them away or sell them for cheap as hell after their b-series swaps, but also get the jdm d15b transmission with the optional LSD, its well worth it

I would agree with what SoccerKing3000 had to say. Spend a few more of those green pieces of paper depicting dead presidents to get the LSD, you will not regret it, especially if you plan to boost the motor. I actually preffered my JDM D15B over the Z6 that was in my EG but that is all personal prefference.

Re: ok...im down to two choices (tyranosauras-rex)
How about minime? It would be easier then the full engine swap. I would go z6 tho. Just becuase there are more rod and pistons choices.

from looking at those numbers, you might just need a new head gasket. try a vacuum test sir

I bought one for $1 from a guy on here daklown.. It was the complete engine and tranny with pretty much everything but a TB and a few vac lines.
All I had to do was drive to nasvhille with my brother and load it in to my astro van (69 miles away)
I sold it locally for $200 after my b-series swap.. wish i hadn't =\ I need the tranny!
