i hope posting here doeesn't get me into too much trouble but I know how knowledgable civic owners can be. So here's my problem


Hi my names is Alex and I live in Los Angeles, I need a canyon car and have found one for sale but it needs a distributor and I have a question that I think can be answered on this forum.

The 88 CRX is a stock USDM model and someone has dropped in a JDM d15b (from what I can tell) motor and did something very strange with the harness. I cannot tell whether it’s the stock harness or they spliced it and did some funny stuff to it. I think the distributor was either stolen or it never had one.

Now my major problem is that I have a friend (GSPOT AUTOMOTIVE) who is willing to give me a distributor at no charge but they said they need to look at the car. The problem is that the car does not run and I don’t have money to tow it so I am hoping that someone here who know this motor or SET UP can tell me what distributor I need or what it needs to look like. Thanks for the time and sorry for taking up space on the forum.

Oh yeah and I am moving down from a B16, is there any good info on how this motor produces power better yet is there something special about this JDM MODEL ?

 

I have one of these engines in an EG sedan, I like mine, puts out 128hp, its very similar to a D16Z6 in many respects. The distributor you want is from a D16Z6 (92 - 95 Si) or a D15Z1 (92 - 95 VX), they should both be the same. by the looks of things you going to need the mating plugs off a '92 - '95 civic harness though, any model will do from those years.
