I picked up a 95 Civic EX with a d16z6 with a ton of miles on it, and I want to swap in something with less miles. I found a complete d16y8 minus the distributor and was wondering if that will work. Will my z6 distributor bolt into the y8? Are there any other problems I could run into?

 

Yes it will unless the motors are different ODB if they are youll have a CEL I believe.

 

you'll have to convert to obd2...i'd stick with a the obd1 z6 motor bro.

 

a 95 wouldnt be considered an obd2? I havnt received the car yet, so I cant check the obvious. what would actually need to be converted anyways?

92-95 ODB1
96-00 ODB2

 

makes sense, so i cant use the dizzy, sensors, injectors and such off the z6 on the y8 to make it all work?

The Z6 dizzy will not bolt up, you will need to use a D15B7/8 dizzy.

Most likely you can run it using your stock ECU and get by. For emissions they will likely just run you on the sniffer / visual for cat.

You can use the Z6 injectors or the Y8 injectors. I'd stick with the Z6 injectors as you would have to get new clips to use the Y8 ones.

 

anything else I would have to do? I figured I will have to extend a few wires and maybe swap some sensors, but does anyone have anymore info in it? can I keep it obd1?

 

convert to OBD2....is way better..

 

im sorry but it'll be fine.. you'll have to get the right distrib to fit... you'll also have to change out a few different plugs and you wont be using a few of the emissions that are required on the obd2.. the p28 will work fine..

You can keep it OBD1, it will be fine.

 

thanks guys, thats exactly what I was looking for.

so Im in the market for d15b7/8 dizzy now then?

 

yea, keep it obd1. Will work for boosting alot easier if you ever decide to do that. Especially if you use Hondata. Just get a y8 dizzy.

 

any idea how I can pick one of them up at a reasonable price?

 

keep the y8 dizzy and rewire it to obd1.. real simple

 

thats the problem, i dont have the y8 dizzy. any resources to get one cheap?

 

get the converter. that'll do it for ya. http://www.rywire.com i believe.

just post it in the WTB ads, look ebay, buy one new..

 

just get a distributor for a 92-95 D15B7, I'm sure you could get one reasonably cheap considering you could sell the D16Z6 one for a decent price. Also you'll want to swap the alternator from your Z6 onto the Y8 as the plug styles are different.

 

thanks for the help!

 

i would put a distrib that belongs on that motor..

 

or u could just buy the adaptor harness and save some $$$. or rewire it yourself
