D16Z6 or get a 88-91 Si blocksince it is a closed deck block and put the D16Y8 head on it. That head flows better then the D16Z6.

go D16Z6 then turbo!! Yeah its cheap, my trannies cost between $150 to $250 tops a whole engine $350! Ah! A good engine to start with. And yeah my car can play with the big DOHC brothers.


D16Z6 Comes in 92-95 Civic Si, and 93-95 Civic EX Coupe and Sedan. Its OBD I unlike the other EX engines found in the 6th gen 96-00 Civic EX's I believe those are D16y8's not sure.
