i want 2 put a d16a6 in my ef it came with a d15b2. I want 2 use the same wiring. So will my intake and exhaust manifold off my dual point bolt up 2 it? or also should i get a zc instead?

 

are you wanting to replace it because the d15b2 is broken? if you just need the car running then yes you can use the dpfi intake, exhaust, etc. however if you want the car to be as quick as the a6 was stock, you'll have to convert to mpfi.

 

ya it has a blown head gasket and i need my car back and im doin the swap myself. I plan on doin the conversion later i jus need 2 get by for now. and the local honda speed shop here sells all single cam motors for 495 bucks.do u prefer another single cam over the d16a6

 

wel l other single cams are better. but need more parts to make them work properly.

the d16a6 is probably the one you want if your going to keep all your stock parts.

but 495 is alot for a d16a6

 

where is a good place 2 get one then for cheaper. hmo doesnt even carry them

 

since i assume you are in a hurry and need it running asap you might be stuck with buying that a6 for $500 :/ if i were you i would hold out as long as possible though and try to find one on craigslist for a LOT less. for $500 you could easily pick up a z6 longblock.

 

i agree with D16SiHatch

500 for a a6 is too much. i think i just saw one on CL for 250

 

hmotors.com
get the sohc zc

 

ok thanks. I jus gotta do somethin quick. cuz i bought my ef wit a blown head gasket. and my crx has a burnt ring. I should of never got rid of my da.

 

just change the head gasket

 

eaasier to swap the motoor tthan the head gasket =]

 

not really if you know whats up and have all the proper tools and parts it'll rather quick

 

i got the tools and everythin i have a lift and everything. i got a shop but there is water in the oil..

 

not really. pull head off, have machine shop check it, get head back a day later and put head back on with new head gasket and head bolts. then just run a thing or two of engine flush through the engine if you have a bad case of milkshake (or just use a bunch of brake cleaner with the pan dropped)

 

the machine shops around here have bad reps. I called one and they wanted like 200 and thats bringing the head in bare

 

Is the head really warped bad?
You can probably use the 9d16a6 head gasket which is thicker and will seal better

 

out here in sb by cal state theres a machine shop that did my ls head for 25 bucks and it only took like 10 minutes an i got it back..

 

what shop. i live in sm santa maria so im not 2 far

 

That's alot for an a6 but they are kind of hard to find though.you can find a z6 or if lucky a y8 for that price. Or just get d15 vtec.I got my complete z6 for 250 on craigs.
