hey guys i can get a hold of a d16y8 for my 95 civic just wondering if it drops in or if it'd be complicated to put in my head gaskets toast in my 1.5 so its now my excuse to get a new motor thanks guys!

 

easy as HELL bro, wut model civic is it?

 

luckily coupe's were equiped in 96 so the differences are few and far between. Should be pretty easy. Good luck

 

only really gotta worry bout obd2-obd1.

get a jumper harness. might have to do a little wireing but its pretty straight forward.

long live the sohc

 

ok, so i have a question to this... i just picked up a 95 ex for a daily driver (also have a 00 bb6). well, the head gasket is blown, all cylinders leaking. so rather than pressure test, possibly mill, etc, im looking at getting another head. i believe this motor is a d16z6... right? so would a y8 or any other d16 vtec head be straight across??? is there any difference in the head???

sorry if i seem like a newb, just new to civics. thanks.

 

humm maybe i will look into this then!! i own a Dx and i just blew up my 1.5 i found it slow as hell!! is there much differance between the 92-95Si 1.6 motors vs. the D16Y8 ??? thanks guys for the help!

not much difference. z6 and y8 lovers would defend their own but u can barely tell..

 

just get a z6 head. direct bolt on. only thing better on the y8 is the intake manifold.. which in my opinion doesn't do much. especially if you're NA. if you wanted to put a y8, u can just use the ex engine harness and you should be just fine.

 

alright! thanks guys im either doin this or im talkin to a guy about a B18 right now one or the other i dont really care which one
