Was wondering if d15z1 is direct bolton to a 7th gen coupe?
other than ecu/harness?

 

Well, if you're ONLY looking at engine mounts, I believe the passenger-side mounts have the same casting on the block.

 

how about transmission?

 

I don't believe they're the same.

 

civic HX replaced the z1 motor

you have D17A6 option for 7th gen

 

less mpg tho....

 

because of tighter emissions

as far as i know leanburn is illegal in us especially in cali

so they had to modify it to fit emissions laws

 

i see some d17a motors for sale. how do i know its a d17a6 side of motor is just stamped "d17a"

whats illegal z1 or a6? werent they sold in the usa?

 

older engines than the model car is not legal

 

i belive the z1 was banned and thats why the newer lean burn engines are not as efficient because of tighter emission regulations.



what i dont get is

how is going 50 miles on a hairpin of gas can produce more emissions than going 50 miles on double or tripple amount of gas.

it doesnt seem logical to me

how much more fumes does z1 produce in leanburn compared to other cars for it to be banned in US?

 

emissions are not about CO2, rather Nox and CO.
most of them are produced at idle. emissions are related mostly to city driving, a lot of them is in stop lights. lean burn produces them.
high mileage does not mean low harmful emissions.
much of this is in engine theory. need read more to explain all the chemical and thermodynamics than i am willing to explain in here - took a lot of classes in college for this

 

what i meant is

for the 50 miles that z1 motor travels how much NOx and co emissions does it produce compared to a regular z6 or y7 for example.


because for that 50 miles z1 burns one gallon of fuel while z6 and y7 burn almost double amount of fuel.

 

above idle it produces way more CO2 than the more harmful to organic living things such as NOx or CO.
emissions are in grand part for that.
amount of fuel used comes in second, if i am not mistaken (have been some decades since i last read about, so take with a grain of salt).
shoulda be something in the net available, maybe wikipedia

it's not honda specific, you shoulda be better looking in here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution

no, i did not read there, have more to do

 

ok so will the vx motor and trans bolt up into a 7th gen?

 

lol

 

you will have to replace everything
engine tranny, axles, probably hubs, engine harness, dash harness, ecu,gauge cluster. etc.
why do you want it so bad. why not buy a VX civic.

 

short answer? probably not.
long answer? you can make it work with enough money.

is gas savings your sole motivation for wanting to do this? because the cost associated with it is probably better spent on, oh idk, GAS.
