I had a question about extra parts i have laying around. i just got a dx HB and want to mpfi swap it. what i have laying around is a d16z6 sohc vtec intake manifold, mounted with a b18a LS throttle body, and i have 89 integra fuel injectors. will the manifold fit on the dx head? and can i use the integra injectors?


thanks

 

the manifold probably wont fit. id put money that it wont. Why not just spend the extra bucks on a mini me and get the bare head? BTW if u dont need that wiring harness (the DX) let me know.

 

intake will fit.......

i have injectors and the inj. harness..and 2 pm6 ecu's..cple si dizzy's..resistor boxes.

1) Yes you can use the manifold on the head. For quick reference, all D-Series heads share the same intake manifold bolt pattern EXCEPT the DOHC ZC. Also, between 88-95 the same head casting was used for the D15B1, D15B2, D15B7, and the D16A6.
2) This is a quick write up on what’s needed to install a D16Y8 intake manifold on a D16A6. Other manifold swaps will be similar in nature. Such as a D16Z6 manifold on a D15B7…etc - http://www.geocities.com/joeyp....html
3) The Injectors will work just don't forget your resistor box.

The Manifold will fit most definatly but you will have to do the wireing mods of course I will get back toy ou on a site that tells you step by step.

 

Thanks for the help. i was getting worried about it because i have almost everything, any good sellers out there with a ecu or dist? i still need these items then im ready for swap.

 

i have what you need man...did you not read my post?

sorry im a b-series kinda guy where most of the manifolds dont line up.

 

I'm a D-Series guy and I can tell you off the top of my head that the B18C1 manifold won't bolt on to a B18A/B or B20B/Z, B16A will bolt onto a B17 and a B18C5, and nothing but the C1 will bolt onto the C1. Correct me im wrong.

 

ok, now what are the up and down sides of running a si cam? will it work with the dx set-up till i do the mpfi swap? reason being my timing belt is over due, and i need to change it and wanted to run a more aggressive cam, is this a good cam to run?

There is no disadvantage to running the a6 cam. Your DPFI head is identical to the a6 head except the cam. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

Ok, you can run the A6 cam but you have to remember the indexing on the end for the cam gear was designed for a slightly taller deck so you will need an adjustable cam gear if you want to go this route to make sure the cam and crank timing is down.

 

ok i got an idea. how about i take the A6 cam specs to the machine shop with a dx cam and have the lobes welded and ground to the A6 specs. that way i wont have timing issues with it.

 

Not cost effective any more unless they will do it for you for free.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 4thgenHB157 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">ok i got an idea. how about i take the A6 cam specs to the machine shop with a dx cam and have the lobes welded and ground to the A6 specs. that way i wont have timing issues with it.</TD></TR></TABLE>
