I bought a 99 civic si and pooched the engine. I got a JDM VTECH D16AY7 engine and tranny cheap that I want to throw in since this will be a winter car for my skyline. Just wondering what else I will need. Are the ecus the same? I'm hoping I can just drop the engine out and stick this one in.
can someone help me out ASAP please

 

I am aware this is a downgrade as well just want to make it work

 

That engine doesn't exist. Look at the block and see what engine code it is



Pics of the engine would be better

 

I have never heard of this engine. Typo?

That is what I bought

 

The block is stamped D16a.

 

So what will I need to swap what's in there now?

 

I'm looking up details. Question? Did you not check into this prior to purchasing the engine?

 

ROFL!!!

    • Special note : this engine come with single VTEC solenoid and an EGR valve but it does not have an actual VTEC (high cam mode).
  • This is Wikipedia info so very all of it. Especially the special note.

 

From what I can see its the same as the usdm d16z6 I don't care what it takes to swap I will do it so I bought it cause it was cheap. So now I'm just wondering what exactly it will require to swap because if it comes with the ecu it will most likely be RHD if it doesn't I need to know what one to pick up at the local wreckers

 

I have a JDM engine in my hatch. There was no "converting" from LHD to RHD. I don't think engines are RHD. And I don't think you're getting the ECU with it. And this is OBD2a so it can't be similar to a Z6 otehr wise I would have said to use a P28.

 

Harnesses come RHD and LHD I just want to make sure my si dohc ecu won't have an issue with this sohc

 

I read in a thread on here it was identical to the z6

 

D16a7 should be basically the same motor as a D16a6, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have VTEC
edit:
Beaten to the punch!

Nope, not even close. The JDM single cam ZC motor is the same as our Z6.

 

Will my p2t 2b ecu work with this engine is my ? I suppose

 

Nope. Let me rephrase. It will run, but badly.

 

It will physically fire it up, but you'll be throwing codes since they're not the same OBD revision, and the P2T will be looking for sensors the motor doesn't have. I'd try to source a d16a6 ecu I guess. Honestly, I don't know what to tell you.

 

Call your engine people. That's what we did. If they're worth their salt they should be able to answer your questions. I'm not finding much on this engine. or even this swap in general.

Says here it will run but run rich. I'll talk to my engine guys see what they say.

 

Well, if a guy on the internet says it's ok, then hell.... you should do it.

 

Lol I wasn't saying they're right, was just sharing what I found! Ill probably end up picking up a d16a6 ecu more then likely

 

Not smart. Good luck.
