hi i know its a d16a8 engine but the thing is that my dizzy cap 5 ht leads but when i go to get a new dizzy cap its coming up with 4 ht leads and also i the vacum sistom is in a box in stead of on the bulkhead iv also got the oil and water cooler on the back of the block

iv put the engine in to a vauxhall nova as i like novas but love honda engines

 

anyone else confused about what he just said???

 

wow intersting.....im guessing by 5 leads you mean one is for an external coil? and im not familiar with the d16a8, im assuming your in europe and this is similar to the d16a1 found in the tegs, if so may i suggest swapping the entire dist over, if the fifth is for external coil maybe the new one will be internal....agaim im just guesing at your problem....

 

Woah. I think you'd better double check the engine number on that block. Because that dizzy is not from a D16A8 (it looks like something off a D15B4)
Also, the inlet manifold is too short, and looks a lot like the one's found on the older brown-top ZC's ala 1st gen CRX (which are NOT D16A8's).

A mish-mash of different engine parts?

 

with the valve cover bolts, vacuum advance distributor (which has external coil), shape of the cylinder sensor, shape of the intake manifold, the engine looks to me like it is the same as the 86-87 Integra D16A1 - this is 87 Integra D16A1:

 

check the engine code - it is on the back/top of the block by the starter

 

cheers ill have to check the engine code again just to make shore

 

I have a d16a8, and this isn't one of them.

 

late 80's jdm accord motor? prelude??

 

Nope, 1st gen CRX or Integra.

 

iv found the engine code and its a zc-1 engine with a single butter fly in the throtal body
