hey well i ended up buying sporty240s CRX it really nice and for the price i couldnt say no. well this is my first car and it needs a lil TLC which doesnt really bother me. but what does bother me is i get home pop the hood and look at the engine block and it reads.....D15B7......now wtf is that i thought an si model was a D16A6. well the valve cover say 16valve so i donno whats going on so can you guy please tell me what engine this is and its specs.

thanks

ill have pics up soon.

 

does it have a factory sunroof? your name says 90 so i'm assuming it is a 90 crx. does it have rear disc brakes? does it have the si seats? maybe the stock motor was blown and they put a d15 in it with the si intake setup. is it DPFI or MPFI? get some pics up asap. that will help a lot.

 

yea it has a sunroof and i dont think it has disk brakes in the rear hold on lemme look again....nope it has drums in the rear umm actually its an 89 and im not sure what the si seats look like so i cant tell yea on that one. and no its not a DPFI is MPFI

 

it sounds like they just swapped the motor and changed over the si intake setup on it. kinda sucks but sometimes stuff like that happens.

 

**** well i just found the specs on the motor and its 102 bhp @ 5900 and its a 1493cc the motor is from a 92-95 civic dx/ lx so i guess its not that much less hp considering a D16A6 puts out 108hp. but i donno still kinda pissed that its not an SI

 

Si model is indeed D16A6... Now if your block reads D15B7, thats a 92-95 Civic Dx motor. 102 hp non-vtec. They should have told you that when they sold you the car

edit: Ahh well you just found that out. Car may still be an Si... Is the sunroof motorized?

Hopefully you still have the A6 tranny if its an Si

 

yea the sunroof is motorized.

 

yep thinking the same thing

 

well when i buy headers do i buy them for a 92-95 civic lx or what? like when it comes to aftermarket parts is anything differnet??? also can i do a mini-me head swap with this engine???

thanks

 

yes you can, but then youdl probably wanna go obd1. better yet see if you could swap out the whole motor for a d16!!!

 

i got a mini me, and that block also came on some of the first gen del sols, the mini me swap will give you like 126 hp im thinking, that what my swap alone is rated at. you could do a vtec head, but thats more wiring and stress then some would like to take on

 

well i think im just gonna do an engine swap. do you guys know what would be the easiest/ cheapest swap? would the LS be a good choice? thanks for all the help! heres a pic of the engine.

 

Cant link to pics on your pc bud

ZC is a very easy an cheap swap (about 1-1.5k), and you get a DOHC motor with 130 HP to boot. Cheapest and most effective swap if you ask me.

 

here is what si seats should look like......



good luck with the car

dont mind all the seat belt buckle things theres 2 now not 4.

 

congrats and goodluck on the car!

 

alright well it has the SI seats then. i hope it has the si tranny!!!

so you think the dohc ZC is the way to go?

 

Either that or a mini-me swap.

Both are cheap and easy to swap.

 

ive herd a lot of people say to turbo it b/c you wont get power from a D15 and they say the mini me swap cost to much...? can you guys give me some estimated amounts on how much these things cost and which would be the cheapest/ most effective?!?!

thanks

 

d16z6 swap
