I'm thinking of swapping motors. I have a stock D16A6 in my 90 crx si and can get a D16Z7 off a 97 civic for cheap. I was wondering what items I would need for the swap. I know it is not a common swap, but the engine only has 12k on it. Do I have to swap axles, shift linkage, ECU, tranny, etc.? Please help. Thank you.

 

i think you mean d16z6, vtec one right? anyway go to; Http://hybrid.honda-perf.org. look up 4thgen engine swaps, and it pretty much will explain the rest. good-luck.

 

No, it is a D16z7, off a 97 civic. 1590cc,SOHC VTEC-II,9.6:1, 127 HP @ 6600
THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING.

 

you mean d16y7 thats a non vtec motor and less hp than your d16a6.
allthough they have a fatter flatter torque curve and more low end hp.
if you do the swap keep your si trans.
unless you mean d16y8..which is sohc vtec and 127hp.

 

actually, I think he's talking about the d16y8...I hope. otherwise, its not gonna be worth swapping....
