Im goin to be starting my first honda swap in a couple days. I made sure i have everything i need before i started, im just waiting on my chip for my p06 in the mail. I drive a 94 civic dx with a d15b8 in it that is past due for remove since its goin through two quarts a day lol. The motor thats goin in is a d16y8. I have a z6 harness thats goin to be connecting everything and i kno i have to change some plugs around but not a big deal just wondering what i should be expecting during and after the swap thanks guys i will post some pics when i get started

start a build thread and all you gotta do is switch engine and tranyy. you can reuse everything. your p06 is non vtec....are you going to get a dif ecu or get a msd activator switch that sux?

ok im switching over to build thread

rick_rabies

from there you can just update and update. and get advise. check out the appearence catagory. theres alot of cars to the bone being painted and wiretucked and getting new motors. it inspire you to clean it up and make it nice

if u dont screw up it sould be a very straight forward swap.gl

i did a lot of research so hopefully i dont ive did engine swaps before in domestic vehicles just never any hondas any of you guys kno what kinda power difference there will be

rick_rabies

like 20-30 hp. it will be very noticable and fun..i did this. then i got a gsr motr. then killed that. then built it and turboed it. youl go on and on until you reck or run out of $. GL

yea it seemed like a cheap easy swap. i was goin to do a b18 but it would of costed me lot more then this motor so i went with this one. i plan on a turbo next month
