i got a d16y7 motor in a 00 lx with a rod knock. i picked up a d16z6 vtec motor for cheep will it swap in w.o roblems? will the knock sensor in the back need to be changed? harness's the same? will the CEL be on because of the diff motor? i will be swaping everything over from the y7 to the z6 block/head. Any help would be great, i searhed for a bit but couldnt find any specifics.

 

u have to use the distributer from the y7 to work with the z6 and im not sure there intercahangeble

the problem is ur y7 i think since its a oo is ob2 and the z6 is a obd1 motor

u are gonna have to do some rewiring but the motor itsself shuld go right in

 

yea i figured the motor itself would drop rite in but wasn't sure about the rest. What year did the z6 motor come in? the 89-91 civic's? its deff a obd1 motor going in an obd2 car anyone else care to give some advice?

 

z6 is obd1, 92-95 ex/si
