I have a 96 4dr.civic. how hard would it be to drop in a d17a2. Is the d17a2 VTEC-E, or just VTEC? Is VTEC-E not as powerful as VTEC. I want to stay with sohc. And i just recently got my hands on a d17a2 out of a 03 civic that was totaled, i got the whole motor for $500. Would like to know if there is any significance to installing this engine. it has very low mileage. And last but not least would a d16y7 tranny bolt up to a d17a2 engine. hard to find much research and information on the d17a2. much appreciated!

 

its not vtec e u need the ecu and harness also, its vtec, the trans will bolt up

 

i thought in ur other thread u just wasted u got it out of an 04 now u got the whole motor from an 03
WTF
get ur **** straight then ask questions

 

isnt that the same motor anyway, im not too sure if this motor was out of either a 03. or 04 civic. i thought that they were the same engine anyway. right?

 

thanks!!

 

have fun, the returnless fuel system is gonna stump you.

 

they can't be swapped in. they don't fit.


it says D on it, but that's the only thing that it has in common.

Drop the crank/rods/pistons/oil pump into a z6 or y8 block and have fun
