on the block its stamped d16a. on the valve cover it says vtec. and it has the vtec solenoid. and spark plugs are up front(like all d series vtec motors) does anyone have the stats on this motor. i put it in my 92 civic. but now i got a crx si all stock but the d16a6 in it has 300,000 miles. so i was thinking of pullin the d16a vtec and putting it in the crx. now is it worth pulling it or shuold i just get a d16z6? also can somone who did this swap tell me some quarter mile times and is it really worth all the work? and does anyone konw where i can a z6 for cheap. im in ny and the junyard around here dont let you pull your own ****

 

Pictures?

 

sounds like a civic EX motor. although they unually don't say VTEC do they?

 

D16A = EITHER 92-95 SOHC ZC 1.6L VTEC (D16Z6) OR
96^ 1.6 SOHC VTEC (D16Y8)
Is it OBD-1 or 2?

 

i think you might be right. casue i someon else toled me it was a single cam vtec zc its obd1 casue it was plug and play in a 92 civic. is that better thean a z6? any hp an tq stats please

Ok I bought this motor here in CA for $300 complete motor, no tranny or ecu. here's a pic:



it's stamped "d16a" only.



I'm puting it into my CRX this weekend, it's supposedly was used in 2 cars that I've been told so far honda had out there. It was in a european ferio and a mexican civic. it's very similar to the 92-95 Si or Ex, if not exactly the same.

going in this weekend



good luck!!

 

yup thats the one!!!!! but mine has a silver cover. any tq numbers on that?

 

no clue...tried to have in installed by the CRXPO san diego on june 3-4, but of course, didn't have everything togther for the dyno runs that day. Keep ya posted!

 

I had the same question when I was doin my motor swap a couple months back. My research came back that the D16A is JDM VTEC-E...I mated that block with a Z6 head. I can't find the info I had on it before (it was over 7 months ago). I like the set-up...

Nice lookin car by the way...

Japanese engine, almost identical to d16z6 with a little bigger cam and like .2 more compression. just like a sohc vtec zc engine

 

i had that engin in my 5g civic sedan. automatic. and when vtec kicks it you defintely feel the **** move. but i wanted to konw if i threw it in my crx (stick) would it make that much of a diffference

 

They come with 140 hp

 

if that is the sohc zc swap then you should leave that in there.

 

Look up HONDA DOMANI D16A
130ps
It's RIGHT THERE on the Japanese website

You are WRONG


140 HP :]

I believe it came in the 92-95 VT-i models.

ps and horsepower are different ratings so you are both right. I should give you a thumb down for not knowing the difference.

 

FYI...it's a bitch finding parts for this set-up. Waterpump, timing belt, etc. It's worth it now though
Also, you can up the compression with a Y8 head gasket...

Really. My friend has a boosted D16A with 10 lbs on a t3/t4 and he said that all Singlecam Vtec parts from the Z6/Y8 are interchangeable.

 

never seen that before. cool. get that bitch in there.

 

Nice car...lol.

Make sure you swallow

 

yeah i just use z6 **** on it. water pump ect. i also read in temple of vtec that there are two of them. one is 105 hp and the other is 130 for the awd something or other.

 

Well I know we had a hard time finding a waterpump to fit...and I have tried a couple different timing belts with none of them fitting perfect...z6 on there now - fits the best but still loose.

 

um can you guys show me where your all getting this info from. btw i cant read japanese
