My friend, who owns a 99 EX coupe, just got into a major accident cuz some idiot didn't see the red light. Anyways....I have a 95 DX hatch auto, and I'm thinkin of buying the motor, tranny, the complete assembly from him to convert my auto to manual. I was just wondering how much should I offer him? And where would I get the paper work to hs engine?

 

how many miles and in what condition is the d16y8?

 

how many miles? $500

 

Oh yea my bad...forgot to put up the miles.....I think it's at 96,000, I'm not sure. But I do remember it being in the 90s. And it runs perfect, maintainence done regularly, no noise or problems what so ever. Completely unmodded.

 

anymore input on this???

 

It's a D series, it's not worth much. Depending on the condition of everything. I'd shoot him $400.

 

maybe 350

 

come on $350??? It is at least worth $450 or so. With only 9X,XXX miles it will last as long as you need it to until you can get a real swap. Plus if he is your friend you don't want to screw him over.

 

its worth 5 if hes gona let you take everything you need, pedal shift linkage trans all that, **** will make your car worth 1000 more probly

 

I can just use the wiring harness from my DX right?

 

yeah but u will have to change plugs and change the dizzy. and a few other thing unless u wanna convert to obd2 which is absolutly useless.

and come on people. d16a6's go for 500 with 150k miles around here

you can get a jdm sohc vtec with ~40k miles for what you are asking for your 90k mile usdm motor.

yep same here...does his tranny have any grinds???

 

No grinds, shifts smoothly. Everything runs perfect.

 

Have fun spending as much on the OBD conversion as on the parts

 

ok ppl. when u buy a jdm spec motor u still dont know what u are getting. i dont care if they say it has under 40 k on it. he knows what he is getting he knows how maintnance was done and everything about the motor.

 

$500 is a reasonable price if it is the complete change over (axles, linkage, pedals, misc.)

exactly. And have fun getting the right ignition maps on the p28!

stock p28 + stock d16y8 = improper ignition tables. And people wonder why these setups don't last long..

 

I had the option of buying a d16y8 for $200 bucks. And I even have a low mileage high volume oil pump to correct the shitty 96-00 oil pump issue. I found out what all had to be done to get it PROPERLY running with obd1. And I said the hell with it, and I opted to spend 400 more to get a jdm d15b.
