ok well im replacing the moter in my crx and theres a person selling a d16z6 has a knock he thinks its the valve and it has a 5 speed trany with it for 150 sounds good well my ? is this a obd-0 moter or obd-1 and will i have any problems just puting this into my car its a 90 hf and am i going to have to chang over to dx spendals and all that thanks tryed to serch but nothen much came up

 

If it's the tranny that came with the Z6 then it won't just work in your car. Z6 tranny is hydrolic so you will have to pay more $ and do som econverting. Not really worth it IMO.

Your stock Hf tranny will bolt right up to the Z6 motor so you can use your stock axles no problem. Down side is that your stock tranny has super long gear ratio - great for the mpg, but not for the performance.

If you can find an Si tranny then that would give you a nice swap with that Z6 motor. You can use your stock axles and hubs.

I can't say what's wrong with aht Z6 motor, but knock is usually something on the bottom end going bad in the motor - not a valve, but who knows. That's going to have to be something you decide on for yourself and hopefully you will tear down the engine for to do a simple rebuild before loading it into your car.

 

edit: 4dref beat me to it..

you will not need to change spindles if you use your current axles. They will work fine with the z6 transmission. all the d-series axles are the same on the transmission side of things.

You might want to search for topics on obd0 to obd1 conversions though, because you are going to need to do one. You will also need to do a cable to hydro conversion to use the z6 transmission, unless you use your current transmission on the z6 block.

you can make it as easy or as hard as you want to. if you use your old transmission and your old axles on the new engine, the only thing you will need to do is change the distributor and the ecu and add wiring for vtec. plug and play conversion harnesses exist to do all of that, so i would be going that route..

and "knock caused by a valve" means the person probably really has no idea what is wrong. I think even at $150, i would buy it, sell the transmission because it will just give you a migraine trying to make it work, and take the engine to a machine shop for a rebuild before putting it in. You might take it apart yourself first so you arent paying someone to find a broken piston, but then take in the 2 pieces to a machine shop to be checked over if they both look good otherwise.

 

Why would using the transmission be a migraine? Multiple kits allow you to use just like the hydro B-Series transmissions with the lever assembly.

 

True.. forgot about the hasport kit. So many years without an off the shelf solution, but now there is one. The only problem is it is twice the price of the setup this guy is buying, but I guess suggesting machine work to fix the engine also doesn't make sense in context. Either way, the op should know that there are easy ways and hard ways do do these things, and those listed above are the easy ways, but they cost money.

 

well im just wanting to throw some type of d series moter in thats somewhat cheep becouse the owners of my hf before me messed the moter up pirty bad one of my cylenders has 70 psi lol other have like 140 but i gess ill just have too look around more to find one just thought that was a easy swap lol gess not thanks alot

 

You could rebuild the HF motor for 150 bucks. the 70psi compression in 1 cylinder usually means the rings are going bad. But as said, you can use your HF trans with the z6 but it sounds like it has a rod knock. So instead of buying the motor for 150 then putting another 150-200 bucks into it to get it running, and then converting to obd1, buying a new ecu conversion harnesses etc, just put that money into rebuilding the motor in it until you are able to save up for whatever motor you choose to go with. Just my .02.

 

ok well i didnt kno it was that cheep so all i would do is just hone it and new rings and gaskets prity much??

 

Id do the whole thing since you will have it apart, rod and main bearings, rings, gaskets and water pump and timing belt. Do it right the first time so you dont have to pull the motor in a couple of months because you reused old bearings or gaskets or what have you.

 

not guna go all out dont have that much to dump on it just want it to run better for now untill i save for a b swap

 

What all do you plan on replacing in the motor?

 

hey what you guys think you can do to a d16z6 for better gas mileage, im putting one in my blown 95 civic ex. got the car for 400. dont know **** about hondas, i work at a chevrolet dealership so this is new to me

 

drive less agressively?

 

lol yea keep ur foot off the petal and i plan on taken it all down to the block and hone it get new rings cleen everything and replace all gaskets and mabe replace trans or head if i can find one its got a new timing belt and oil filter new plugs wires and dizzy on it

 

You said you didnt want to dump a bunch of money into it by replacing the main and rod bearings to ensure you have a car that you know won't take a **** on you but your worried about a trans or a head? You need to make sure you bottom end is decent or else the new head or trans you buy isnt going to do you crap. Again to each their own. Do it right the first time and rebuild the bottom end with new bearings, dont reuse the old ones it will cost a measly 100 bucks for peace of mind..

 

yes i kno ill just see how they look when i get in ther its got 180k on them so they might not be good but its an hf and i hate the trans so other then getting it to run better that trans has to go lol it just dosnt work good in a hilly city
