I want to get a cheap D16Y8. I don't need a tranny, ecu, axles. Just the motor, complete with heads. Where in the hell can I find this? I have been looking and nowhere seems to have this engine.

 

probabaly in the classified sections, as weel as junk yards

 

if you find one with head(s) let us all know.

 

Yea, well I have been checking junkyards and none of them have it. I didn't think everywhere would not have them in stock because the D series isn't really a desireable engine. Well, maybe I will have to buy one in pieces.

 

FYI it took me three months to find a y8 head. YOu really want the Si tranny though. Doing a SOHC VTEC swap without the tranny is a waste. Cool thing is that the tranny will bolt directly in without changing axles etc.

 

Yea, I kind of doubt that I will actually hunt down a d16y8 at this point. It seems like a bigger pain in the *** than it should be. I would rather just spend all of that time saving money to acquire two cam shafts.

 

I think they made/sold more SOHC's than DOHC cause they are less expensive to make and are more affordable.

Having said that, I am having trouble finding one too. Look at my sig

 

come to socal...our junkyards are full of d16's

 

First place I'd go is a Honda-specific junk yard.

Hmotorsonline would be a good place to look too.

 

could check ebay and look for local sellers.

 

just get a y7 block and a y8 head.

i have a y8 head if you need one

 

having problems finding d16y8s? dude these things are ultra common and were in del sol si's, civic ex coupes, civic ex sedans.

car-part.com and the classifieds forum is your friend. buy d-series parts on honda-tech (a b-series site) and sell parts on d-series.org/ebay.

honda-tech hates the d-series.

 

Just get a Z6 from hmotorsonline.com.

 

z6's are the way to go, if not ebay it up and the classifieds see their fair share of d16's fly by

 

i'll sell you mine

 

no, sell it to me!
