i have a chance to buy a d16y8 engine for $400 with 65k on it would it be worth da switch from 1.5 to 1.6, and would i have to switch all my ecu and wiring??

 

will you be keeping your original Tranny from the 1.5.. or are u getting the whole engine and tranny..if I was you.. I would try my best to get full engine/tranny .. and if you are getting the whole thing go for it.. it'll make a difference

 

depends on what car it's going into. If it's going into a 96-00 Civic, then you'll be gravy. I would swap it if it came with tranny. If not, buy it for 400, throw the intake mani/throttle body on your car, exhaust manifold, and sell the block and head together for a couple hundred.

Please specify year of car

 

yea theres gonna be a diff. thats pretty good bang for your buck. going from 90+ hp to 127 hp. i say

 

Its a '95 Civic Coupe, and would the tranny in my car now be good with that motor or should i upgrade too?

 

You have a 95 DX?

If so, then yes, upgrading the tranny would be a good choice. The DX tranny you currently have is geared pretty tall, for better fuel economy, etc instead of acceleration. Yes, get the engine, tranny, & ECU if you can.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but won't he have to get an OBD2 to OBD 1 conversion harness to make that plug n play too, though, right?
