I have a 91 si that I baught with a dohc zc in with everything else stock. I know those came with a d16a6 but it's almost impossible to find one. So is there any d series motors that I could just drop in with the stock si tranny and ecu that'll be legal? Cuz I know it needs to be 91 or newer and non vtec cuz they didn't come with vtec. Any help is much appreciated. Tank you.

 

Or you're in Cali? They are real strict there. Wish I could help but I'm in the same boat as you. Good luck

 

No one has ever done it successfully. searching is impossible also.

 

Yeah, cali smog rules suck. I almost had it passed but they failed me cuz the timing was a little off, then realized what motor it was.

 

bump. looking for some more insight in these. what motors aside from the d16a6 that is almost impossible to find will drop right on on a 91 si stock tranny and all thats legal?

a zc sohc (d16a6) is hard to find in california...?

impossible

 

sohc non vtec zc's are great i had one in my auto ed hatch loved it just didnt love the hb unfortunately, threads like this make me appreciate living where i do, virtually unlimited engine mods, it also makes me fearfull of california style inspections local gov is pretty fond of copying california

 

i have a d15b-v i'll let go for $500. Converted to obd1 and just passed smog

Other than that.. SOHCs shouldn't be too hard to find

 

thanks guys. and no it wouldnt be to hard to find a sohc if it wasnt for living a part of norcal where my resources are less then half of what they were back in socal. but thanks though for the help. plus im pretty short on cash too.
