posting this for a friend.
He bought a '91 CRX some time ago, and he want's to do some simple performance upgrades (bolt ons). So we checked his engine code just to be sure and it says it's a D16z5, but can't seem to find any info in the engine code.
Anyone here know anything about this engine.
We know it's a dohc non-vtec 1.6l engine.

thnx

Maybe a 88-89 Integra engine?

 

ive seen some bizarre trailing numbers on European Honda engines before but not like that.

are you sure you didnt mistake that B for a D...

i dont think the b was even cast yet at that time. perhaps in prototype.

if it were 88-89 it would have to be a D-series....

i dunno OP i would suggest wiping down the area and rechecking.

another thing i would do, is pull the passenger side carpet back and read the model on the sticker of that ECU.

that will be another huge clue for you as to what you're dealing with.

 

Are you sure the block code says "B16Z5?"

 

I think even the earlier the 90 Integras were still B17s. I could be wrong.

Your friend also might be thinking B18C5, which would be the USDM Integra Type R motor

 

This Post Demands PIctures!

 

I think its a edm d series stamped b16z5 looks identical to the jdm dohc ZC to me...

Why would a D series be stamped with B16Z5, unless it's uber illegitimate?

 

Thats not a b its a "D".

 

Huh?

White91EF said it was a D stamped with a B, blah blah blah

 

i honestly don't know, i just did a quick google search and found that cardomain site. dude claims he has a B16z5 in his crx, in the picture of the motor it looks like a doch zc to me... I could be wrong

 

European versions of the JDM DOHC ZC are badged D16Z5, D16A8 and D16A9

 

pics: it indeed says D16z5

whoops, my bad...need some more sleep....but any clue what engine this is...and the specs?

 

Dude, that's a D...

 

Your probably looking between 120-130hp depending on emission equipment.
