Ive got a 98 civic EX 2dr coupe. this might be a stupid question but what motor do i have?.. im pretty sure all EX have Vtec but i wanted to make sure.. i know its a 1.6L but not much else. also whats a good price for some new spark plug wires.. mine are stock and i should probably get some new ones.

Thanks,
Nick

 

I believe they have a D16Y8. Correct me if i'm wrong.

 

Correct, D16Y8...the most notorious series for spun bearings. Instead for new wires (unless you have issues with the OEM ones) might I recommend an oil pressure gauge or shimming the pump for more psi.

NGK wires should run you about $50-60.

 

x3 on D16y8.
x2 on NGK's.

 

ok thanks.. but i still would like to know if it has a V-tec... like i said im pretty sure it does. and dont give me that well cant you read stuff because not all v-tecs say v-tec on them

 

It has vtec, when i first got mine i wasn't sure either only because I've seen so many older model ex that says Vtec on the valve cover.

 

If it's the original motor, then yes it's a d16y8 w/VTEC. I have a spare VTEC valve cover if you'd like for me to ship it to you.

 

that would be sweet... what color is it? how much would it be to ship do you know?

 

im in 53188 waukesha WI, i think you would need that to know how much it will be. ill give you my entire adress once we figure out shipping stuff
