Sup ppl... im looking to Swap a D15Z1 to a D16Z6 on my 92 civic VX Stock.. need some info on it.... plz help if u can... im very new to this and never swapped anything b4 and dont know much about cars but would like to learn... so my question is...... Can i just drop the Z6 w/harness and computer and not have any worries with gettin a new transmission and axels....ect?... Do i need a mount kit?.. Am i gonna run into any problems?... i need to research this cuz i dont have much money... only enough to buy the motor and hire some1 to put it in... jus enough for the Z6 motor, computer and harness for right now.. ill add turbo and stuff lata... but for the winter i just want to get the new motor in and have it running cuz its my only thing i have for transportation... once sping time comes around i should have enough for a bodykit, hood, fenders and rims... please reply... thanks.

everything will swap right over with no modifications. only thing you'll have to worry about is converting the VX 5-wire o2 sensor to a 4-wire o2 sensor.

sup azntagger.. Some1 told me that all 92's were alrdy pre-wired... well if i do have to do this... is it hard to convert the wire? do u know of any place where i can read up on how to do this?... holla back at me bro.. and thanks i really appriciate the help.

he might be right cause the z1 is kinda like a y5 and i know the y5 also has a 5 wire O2 sensor.

AzntaggeR

i am right

theres a how to in the FAQ thread stickied at the top. all 92s come pre-wired for vtec.

Gee.Orgie

sup again azntagger.. i called and ask the place where im gettin the motor from and asked about this issue... and he told me that im gettin the computer, harness and motor all in one so i wouldn't be needing my old o2 sensor.. the 3 things im gettin would alrdy have a sensor and wire with it to the computer... is this true? get back at me please... lata.. and thx again^^

Gee.Orgie

and by the way azntagger, what did u mean "the FAQ at the top"? at the top of this page? i was unable to find where it would tell me how to convert the o2 wire.. plz post where to find the directions on how to convert the wire more specifically.. thx again.. cya.

youll need the ecu, and its going to be alot easier (and cheaper if your payin someone) to convert to a 4 wire o2 than run a whole new harness. and the way the vtec works and a true vtec car is different that that of the vx, the vx doesnt have a true vtec system, so yes, youll need to run the 2 wires from the shock tower (assuming its is a 92). one to the vtec solenoid and one to the oil pressure switch, and ground one of the wires on the oil pressure switch. im not entirely sure on how to convert to a 4 wire, but i know ittl be alot easier for you to do it than pay someone, cause thell charge you for it, also you should know how stuff on your car works and where its wired to. can someone help him out on the 5-4 wire 02?

dantastic

incorrect. the d15z1 does already have a vtec oil pressure switch and solenoid wire. it will be a drect swap (EVERYTHING will swap over). he just needs to conver from 5 wire to 4 wire 02 sensor and run a p28 ecu.

how bout spending that $$ on an EX tranny and a turbo kit?

a1320honda

my bad man, i just knew that when i got my "jdm d15b vtec", i was the economy version and there were no provisions for the vtec solenoid, just the oil pressure switch. so i assumed there wasnt a real vtec system at work, sorry for the misinfo man.

Gee.Orgie

hey honda dont be sry man.. all this info is fo0kin great.. im jus a tard starting out...lol i dont know chit about my own car jus know how to drive =\ but all that has been said on this issue is very helpful and i appreciate all this from yall thank yall very much honest ^_=

Gee.Orgie

and by the way dan.. my plan is to just swap the motor and have it running jus so i can get back and forth to work.. my car has right now 268,000 miles on it lol... yes its no typeo.. "268,000 miles on it!" so i know my baby is tired and worn out.. thats why im jus doin it the most unexpensive way.. for the fact that i dont make much money.. once my car is driveable.. i wont have to worry about losing my job and i can start saving up from November till around mid March or early April.. so YES im planning on gettin the ex/si tranny cuz i've heard that i wont even feel a difference with the stock tranny.. and by atleast April i should have enough for the tranny, exterior kits and hopefully a new paint job^ weeee but thanks a bunch DAn for puttin in ur inputs... i really do appreciate it =] k if yall or anyone else have any other suggestions like dan... plz reply...

a1320honda

i think you mean a d16 single cam, the b would be a dual overhead cam.

here is the link for the conversion from 5 wire o2 to 4 wires .

hey a1320honda, all D series are singles and all B series are duel cams?

shiftgear8000

d-series= single cam
b-series= dual cam

If you got a b16 motor.....you will need a new tranny, mounts, axles, shift linkage, among other assorted parts to make it work with your car.......your current stuff won't cut it

Here's wiring a GSR into a VX, should be the same for the d16z6 just forget the knock sensor and IAB's:
