you don't have to change ****....just the z6 you are putting in..

 

thanks man

 

it's all pretty str8 forawd ... just like puting in a D16a6 except for switching that 1 mount

 

just curious, but why you choosing a Z6 over a Y8?

 

regarding this swap, are you to order all necessary replacement hoses for the 88-91 crx ? are there any hoses that need to be custom?

 

The upper radiator hose can be trimmed a little, that way it isn't all squished foward.

 

for 1hp i'd rather have obd1 and a cheaper cost wouldn't u?

 

you will need to swap the engine mounts and use the ones off your stock d16a6. The upper radiator hose is also different.. you can get a straight piece of generic hose and it will work perfectly with your stock radiator. you can even run the z6 off your stock pm6 and get a VAFC and have near stock driveability

i chose a d16z6 over a d16y8 because the y8s seem to be very prone to spinning bearings

 

And ...
The Z6 has a stronger oil pump...
The Z6 head isn't optimized for low-end power sacrificing top end...

Can anyone else think of something?

 

Im actually doing this swap later this week into my 89 CRX too Good luck with yours

 

I went with a d15b2 bottom end personally for undisclosed reasons... even to myself

 

i choose the z6 b/c for some reason to me i just like the z6 better,i think it is abetter engine.i was kinda debating on using my a6 bottum end but i dont want to have to be out a motor for a long time so i will just use the z6. i will use a y8 intake if i dont use a skunk 2. i dont knw,haha. bad day today. but well

 

im doing this swap as well, let me know if you have any questions

do yourself a favor and rock the p28

Actually, all you have to do is swap the upper radiator hose neck for a 88-91 version. That way, you can use all stock hoses.

You can use any other OBD-1 ECU and just chip it with P28 Maps Save some money here and there.
