It's nearly identical to the d16a6.

A lot of the parts from an 89 1.6L integra will work. Timing belt is off a 2.0 89 DOHC prelude motor. Timing belt tensioner, water pump is from a 95 civic 1.6L. You pretty much use the same tranny that you have now.

I have this motor, everything swaps from the original SI motor d16a6.

the difference is the cams are slightly more aggressive on the ZC but otherwise is the same.

the 89 integra was a d16a1? im pretty sure is the code, a dohc d16 motor that is almost its own series as very little is interchangeable from it to other motors, it shares parts with only the other dohc d series and dohc zc none of which are usdm motors. also the integra dohc d16 WILL NOT fit into a 88-2000 Honda. the motor mount comes in front of the timing belt making it rare to see these motors in a Honda other than a custom motor mount...

the dohc zc is much the same as a d16a8 or d16a9
sohc non vtec is a d16a6
sohc vtec is a d16z6

if you ever need to go to a parts store or look up online parts say you have a 91 civic si 1.6 and you will be fine.

The motor is SOHC.
