I currently have a stock 91 EF hatchback. It has the d15b2 motor that has just under 150k. I've realized it is going to need some time and money to keep it going. I'm considering just putting a ZC DOHC in it, but its auto. IS there anywhere I can get an AUTO swap for this? I looked at hmotors but didn't see anything? Links? My plan is to just drive this car throughout college and when I have enough money put this engine in a manual car.

Thanks,
James

 

Your motor only has 150K on it? That is just broken in. I have 250K on my stock Si motor and it is going strong. Is there a problem with your motor? Just do regular maint. and you'll be good for 100K more.

 

Well I know that my rings aren't in the best shape... I burn anywhere from 1-1.5Quarts of oil in a 3000 mile interval. But if I'm going to put a couple hundred dollars into this car... can't I pick up a D motor for 400-500 dollars and won't have to do any maintenance right away?

 

a d16a6 on hmotorsonline is 500 bux for the block... worth it???

 

Nope that is expensive. I would try to find something local first.

 

wait you plan on going/staying auto?

I'm a little lost, but as toad said 500 is alot for a a6, look locally.

 

Yeah I'm gonna keep it auto... get the engine and everything and maybe convert down the road...wats common for a a6 to run at price wise?
