Somone said when i searched about a oil jet. do i need one off the SOHC VTEC block???? i just bolted the head up. do i know need to remove the head and get the oil jet out of the block and put in my block? can someone explain

THX

 

Id also be interested in knowing more on this subject.

 

I remember reading about that, but I do not want to tell you something wrong because my memory isnt to clear. Best bet is to search for mpfi in the crx/ef forum only and read the topics with the most replys.

 

I think you have to seal it off on the new block, and not use it. But like I said, my memory is blank right now.

 

ok my car is an Si so it is wired and what not. im trying to put a 92-95 d16z6 head on the d16a6 block. I want to know if i have to change anyhting about the d16a6 oil jet in the block.

Alos there is a fitting that attaches to the VTEC solenoid area. has a seal inside of it where does this go to? also one other fitting attaches below the upper rad hose again where to:

I attached a pic of the two fitttings cercled in red:



One other pic of swap so far.....




it will be a red X for a bit as imagestation is glitching now but the above describves the stuff well.

 

Is there any site with a detailed install of a d16z6 head setup?

Like a site with a parts list (Water Pump?, Timing Belt?, Headgasket?, etc?)


also whats the compression when using a D16z6 head on a d16a6 block with a stock honda head gasket.

This site has all the info you need .... http://crx.honda-perf.org/articles/z6swap/z6swap.html

Try doing a search on "mini me" this subject has been covered more times than people realize... IMO, ive done this setup and helped a friend do his setup.. it will never run right.. timing is a bitch to get right. I eventually threw the motor out and bought another d16a6 and i love it.. ive been a couple of hatchbacks with the minime.. and they dont pull like my good old d16a.

 

If your using the crx si block all you have to do is take the a6 oil jet out, thats it.

 

You have to remove the oil jet out of the block. I've heard that if you don't that Vtec will not activate. The Vtec head already has one internally in it.

 

I did a mini-me swap using my stock D16a6 bottom end and a D16z6 head and it definitely pulls harder than it did before doing the head swap, especially in the upper rpms. Of course its no B16A, but it definitely made a difference.

 

so if you didnt pull the oil jet will the car run fine .? just VTEc wont work?? i tourqed the head and all and i cant take it a part as i want to drive my car tommotrow

 

you need to remove the oil jet or else you will be pumping oil into the head where they is no where for it to be recieved and that would be a big problem.

 

Did you pull the oil jet like you are supposed to? If not i wouldnt recommend driving your car tomorrow.

 

didnt pull the oil jet. i have to tkae off the head i guess. it is the oe in the middle right at the back. there is only one????

 

NOTE I have done this.... U have to take to oil jet out of any block u are running.... and keep it out.. the sohc vtec head has the oil jet in it.. and that is all that u run ...so u are going to have to take the head back off.....

 

god damn i took the head off and took out the oil jet. since i filled the engine with oil when i poped the head oil leaked into cylenders. Now is this coating of oil gonna make my car not run? can i just let it smoke blue for like 5 min or do i have to take the head off again god damnit and soak up all the oil i can.????/ THX guys

oh yeah i still havent got the crank pulley off but i got everything else done like mounting that PAIN OF A DISTRIButor glad i got that done i only used 2 out of the 3 mounting bolts this is normal right?

THX guys

 

also the VTEC solenoid had a inlet for oil i think on the side i just plugeed it with an extra bolt. did i do the right thing??????? THX

 

that hole in the side of the vtec soleniod is for an oil pressure sensor, for vtec activation (i think..)

 

Im guessing your running obd0, so you wouldnt need the oil pressure sensor.. the threading on that sensor is very weak, and odd sized bolt can strip it.. so be careful.. I would suggest the full obd-1 conversion so you can run the oil pressure sensor.. theres a reason why honda put it there..

 

im converting to obd1 in the winter when it snows. for now obd0 how do the spark plug wires go on? whats the fireing order. at TDC the rotor points at 1 so i got one on now the next one goes where? THX
