Ok after hours of searching, I need to replace the D16y8 in this 96 4dr EX that I picked up. The problem is nobody list a D16y8 for sale. All I can find is the "zc" sohc vtec 1.5. Any ideas where I could find the proper engine?

 

drop in the d15 and swap over manifolds.

 

It's going to happen eventually...
B swap!
Or keep looking, it's still winter and it seems like in spring more stuff goes up for sale.

 

xxx2 ^^^

Like what he said B series!

Try lo0kin on craigslist.

 

Just keep looking, D16Y8's are pretty hard to find and they are pricey. If you can scrounge up a few dollars just get a B18B1 swap, it might be cheaper in terms of price/horsepower. And even if you find a Y8, its expensive.

 

Yah LS are pretty cheap. My friend bought his for 700 and his brother bought his for 500 on craigslist.

 

You can swap a D16Z6 in fairly easy, it takes a little bit of work, such as wiring, but it can be done and they are a better motor.

 

Thanks for the reply's.

I should have explained more. I bought the car with a seized y8. I just would like to replace with an equal engine and sell it locally(its what I do in my spare time).

So I'm not interested in swapping in a bseries , just would like a stock replacement(worth more resale than a swap). Besides the cars a A/T.

So would a the D15 zc vtec that is advertised for obd-1 be a replacement? I would really like it to stay as close to oem as possible.

 

I have a y8 im not using.

 

check pm

 

or there's the D15B 3 stage vtec motor that's cheap. but the Y8 would be best in your case
