I am lookin to swap an engine into the rex....how available is the D16y5? I am lookin at this for the great gas mileage, would be killer in a rex! Anyone know where I can find one (complete preferably)? or how much they cost? Thanks guys/gals, appreciate it.

 

Anybody help?

 

i think the d15b6 whould get better gas milage.

 

Forget the D16Y5 . . . too much to worry about with emissions equipment and such. I doubt you'd ever get it to run properly wioth a reasonable amount of work.

Is fuel economy your #1 priority? If so, why not just swap in an HF drivetrain or something?

 

well, the motor it has now has 350k on it, lol. Don't think it's going to last much longer... I want a decent ammount of power (120ish or so) but also want good gas mileage (so the B16 is out). If I would of wanted power, I would just keep my camaro, lol. Can't afford theg as on it though, it's a bitch.

My 2nd choice is the D16y8. How much work is it to get these babies in a rex?


crx_control I am not aware of a D16y6....any info? I know of a y5, y7, and y8, but not of the y6.

 

it was d15B6 and as far as i know it is the same as the d15B1 except:
d15b1- 70hp dpfi and 4spd trans
d15b6- it has a better cam a better flowing throttle body and a different ecu so it puts out 92hp has dpfi and usually has a 5spd trans

You're thinking of the D15B2 (DX/LX engine).

The D15B6 was the 8-valve MPFI 62hp HF engine.

 

i stand corrected thanks i had a brain fart cuz its 1:30am oh well...

My B16 in my 93 EX would get 30 mpg regularly, and 40mpg at 65-70 with cruise control.

 

my d16y8 gets 30 mpg(me like to go fast) and its 127(128?) hp to the crank

 

what does your Y8 run in your CRX?

 

havent ran it yet.i can tell you that its quick tho
