i am looking to replace my engine in my 92 si looking at a low k jdm replacement i would just like to know if the d16 jdm motor is the same engine id code (D16z6) or is it somthing else ?

 

there is no JDM d16z6, if theres an add its a misprint or possible its a canadian motor. JDM motors never have a number on the end.

 

ok so if i go to buy a new motor for my car ther is no sohc engine for my si?

 

sure, if you want a low mileage motor thats a plug and play swap get a D15b vtec.

 

its not a d16

 

is ther not an engine that is the same as my d16z6 that is the same just a jdm version of it ?
like wen i got to buy my new engine what should i be asking for ?

btw im kinda new to h-teck

 

the z6 is a usdm version of the D15b. they make the same power, theres a few differances internally, but thats it.

 

ok so the d16z6 id bigger that the d15b ? or is the just about the same motor will i be losing power ??

 

the power is the same, its .1 liter smaller, 1.5 instead of 1.6, but the increased compression and more aggresive cam make them equal in power.

 

I think he read the original post wrong....

He was saying what's a JDM D16, is it the equivalent of a USDM D16Z6. What is it the equivalent of in USDM

You kinda by-passed what he was asking I think

 

k thanx very much im just going to buy the engine on the weekend so i wanta know what im looking for i just want an engine from the wreckers in that has high k

 

i read it right, there is no JDM D16 vtec, thats why i pointed out the D16b vtec.

 

yea that is what i was asking

 

ok, thats what i thought, hope i helped, if not just PM me, or search.

 

i just dont want to go buy my engine and come home with the wrong one.

 

92-95 ex/si will all have the D16z6. and some year del sol. if you are ordering a motor just make sure its a D16z6 or a JDM D15b vtec.

 

The D15b is not the JDM D16Z6 version. The JDM D16Z6 version is a ZC VTEC, both are 1.6 and are identical unlike the D15b and D16Z6. Hit up hmotorsonline, they carry some once in a while.

 

what would you do say would be the better one to put back in the D16z6 or a JDM D15b vtec. ?

if i had the money i would do b16 swap

 

that is correct, didnt even think about that one.but its very hard to find the gen. 2 zc, and cost more than the z6 and D15b.

 

ok who do i listen too ...??

 

we agree, but you got to make sure the zc is vtec and obd1 for it to be equivelant. i havent seen them listed on http://www.hmotorsonline.com before, but see them on ebay. they cost a good bit to be a sohc, so they arent popular.

 

im just looking to buy an new engine for my car,im only asking about jdm engines cuz i dont want to put in a si engine from a wreckers that has hight k

 

best option, In my opinion, is the JDM D15b vtec, its $430 from hmotors. and low mileage, the performance is the same, and its 100% bolt in, no wiring changes are needed, no new ecu, no new tranny. just bolt it in.

 

yea that what im looking for just a replacement i guess u could say

also the pic on hmotors. the intake manifold looks smaller than my si?

dose any one know if it is or am i just seeing things

 

its the same. i got an extra one if you need it.
