ok guys im a turbo integra owner but what im lookin for is some help on my girlfriends car she has a 92 4door civic lx Ive added a suspension kit a wings west bumper and some 17's but that moter is a dogg so i was wanting to swap it I orignally planed on a f22 but Ijust recived a free D16Y8 W/ 70,xxx miles to my question is this a good swap and all i have right now is the moter (block &head) is the tranny and allthe other parts bolt on affair who has done this I need info I need details what interchanges
thank you civicgurus

 

where is the experts i need help

 

1st, why would you ever want to do the F22? F22 is a plan to fail.
What you will have to do is make the new motor obd1 or make the car obd2
I would just make the motor obd1.
Use the injectors and intake manifold from the original motor on the new one. This will bolt up the the old tranny or if you are putting a new tranny in, that is fine too. Pretty easy.

will the vtec work if I use the old intake manifold and what is the diffrence on the shortbock between obd1 and obd2
and the f22vtec has lots of torq and displacement (I think an itteresting sohc ) Very boost frendily

 

I'm asuming your girls car is a 5speed?? the lx tranny will bolt up but will still be a dawg cuz of the gearing...

the entire d16y8 will bolt up just fine....use the y8 intake and exhuast manifold......all you'll use off the old motor will be the injectors and you'll have to wire up some stuff to stay obd1.....the y8 distributor wiring will change and you'll need to add some wires for the vtec, and you'll have to run a p28 ecu (D16z6 ecu) then everthing will work just fine.....

I'd get an ex tranny at the same time.......z6 intake manifold if possible and header.....you'll see a big difference....
