Im putting in a d16z6 in my 97 civic dx. Do i need any thang. I just have full motor and ill be using my dx trans. I need obd1,p28 ecu,i thing d16z6 wiring harness. Dont really know where to start on the build. I have a turbo manifold and cold air intake for it and thats it for now. Please help me if u have any ideas on what to do.

 

swap out the transmission for an ex transmission.

 

boost it N/A on a d-series is pointless.

 

Short list:
-Yes get the d16z6 engine wiring harness
-Yes you will need the P28 ECU
- Also will need an OBD2 to OBD1 wiring adapter

 

Thats what i was thinking on doing. What do you think i should do to the head to make it stronger.

 

nothing just save ur pennies and boost it. u are going to have to wire vtec into your dx harness its 3 wires and easy...

 

Shouldent i get some up grades on my head after i boost it. I know there is somthing that fail on that motor arround 200hp.

 

I ran my car boosted stock block on a gt28r with 10psi which would be near 200hp for 5 years nothing broke til I spun a rod on an over due oil change. that stock head can make up to 300hp you are going no where near these limits so leave it alone u will be wasting your pennies

 

What are some good pistions and rods that will be good but not that pricey.

 

No the Z6 harness will not work in your car. Follow this guide for OBD1 engine in OBD2 car.

For the rest search in the forced induction thread for builds on Z6's and copy a build that fits your power level and price range desired. Don't reinvent the wheel.

 

just swap a b-series in before you even think of wasting money on a single cam, rods pistons....if you're asking what type you're not going to be installing them your self.
