Basically the thread asks the question itself all I'm curios about is how much fabrication is recquired and is it plug and play to a point because i can find one of these cheaper that a D16 for my EK.
I know there is a thread asking the basic same question because i saw it before but cant find it now...
edit: sorry for the lack of info the motor is from an 04 LX

The motors themself arent impressive, compared to what you can do for any D16 motor, their VTEC-E. Plus they woudlnt be a direct swap because the tranny's are cable, and i believe the motor is drive by wire. Not really worth it IMO.

correct

 

i thought the drive by wire wasnt put into civics till 05 and after ?

 

My friend just bought an (I think) '05 LX and it's a completely different motor. I don't know how it would wire up .

Not sure what motor the LX has but point is they changed the tech a lot...

Want a D17? Bore your D16 out .1L .

 

they are also distributorless (sp) and have a returnless fuel system
wiring would be a bitch to say the least

 

joes car

 

get it for the crank, then put it in a D16 with the suzuki vitara pistons. (since they're short.) 10.5:1 in a Z6. That would be a good nitrous motor, but couldn't rev too high. 1.45 r/s

im pretty sure they started doing drive by wire after 2000.

 

Well Im not going for performance right now I was just able to find a D17 for 150 bucks and as curious about it. I Know they are **** but I blew my d16 and am in the search for a nothing special type of motor if you catch my drift guess ill keep looking for a non VTEC d16 but I cant really find one for under 300 and this looked pretty good thanks for the answers though guys.

 

i found a y7 with low miles in the marketplace for $200, drove 2.5 hours to pick it up. keep looking, they're out there

 

really ? cause my brother has an 03 civic LX and it doesn't have drive by wire.
