well im in the market for an sohc engine for a 88 dx crx. i was planning to save up for a while to get a b18b but the engine in the car right now is finally about to give up. basically im asking for some suggestions on what d series engine to get. in the long run i plan to make an n/a build for the engine. right now im looking for a d16z6 used locally, might order a jdm d15b 92-95, or might get soem other parts to build a mini-me. could you guys give me some info on which engine i should be looking for and is better to build? thanks in advance everyone

 

Why bother getting work done to it if you want a B?

I would get that local motor and keep saving.

 

thanks for the reply
i didnt think the stock engine would go out that fast so i was just gonna save up for the b series. since the motor's gonna give out soon, decided to just build an sohc instead of getting the b series.

more suggestions please

 

z6 requires some dexterity in the distributor mounting (eek), i'd get a replacement for your current motor and wait for the B.

I reckon you could get a d15 for $50-100 if u look around.

 

d series are coo but i honestly say you would have more fun with a b series but the d16z6 is cool or jus go ahead and get the jdm d15 or d16 the i herd you can swap a zc dohc head on to d series motors so check up on that

 

z6, greddy turbo kit. smog legal y0

 

i have a ful D16Y8 for sale its ported, stage 1 cam, ugrade valves and spring stock y8 block and i'll throw in my stage 2 act clutch and si intake and distributor and tranny for $700.

well tomorrow ill be heading for the junkyard to look for some parts and if i do find a motor less than 100 and would last for atleast half a year that would be fine for now and i could also save up for the bseries. still looking for a z6 or y8 motor locally at the moment though. so if i cant find one, ill be at the junkyard for the temp. motor
any body have more opinions?

z6 turbo

 

Buy a spare D series OBD0 block and head. No need for all the nick nacks. When your engine dies (you would be surprise at how long it will last on its last leg), swap over everything off of yours. Saves you money.

 

thanks both of you who replied. i found a z6 engine only for 100 but burns a lil oil at high revving, so im looking for rebuilding prices. but still heading into the junkyard today for an obd0 engine. final bump

z6 buy it, rebuild it, turbo it. greddy turbo and raise your compression. high compression turbo FTW

 

just go b series you will be happier with it not to mention you have alot of options and a good platform to start with save save save save save save

not everyone wants a b-series. after i did mine, i wished i woulda built an SOHC just for *****, giggles, and cheap parts prices

 

thats why im thinking of building a d series, just cause its cheap . if i dont buy an obd0 engine at the junkyard ill be taking the d16z6. hopefully the stock crapper engine last for a couple of more trips though

EDIT
forgot to add that i wanna see the faces of people getting beat by a built SOHC

agreed.... parts are hella cheap and its fun spankin a b-series with ur d-series

 

hah you know what i think im gonna go the z6 route. im gonna buy a obd0 engine just for the car right now since it should be 100 or less. probably buy the z6 engine this weekend or next.. put the obd0 engine when the stock blows out and gather the rest of the parts for the z6 [dizzy, intake manifold n such, going to convert to standard nd have to convert to mpfi ob1 also, nd when i have everything hopefully everything is in by mid july] what do you guys think? or

do the OBD-1 conversion when you run the Z6, dont run it OBD-0

 

i know im gonna get an obd0 engine i can put in there after the stock one blows, but im gonna keep the z6 out n get the rest of the parts for it until its ready for the swap what do you think?
