I have a 2000 civic dx (with a d16y7) and I am getting a 92-95 si motor (sohc vtec) I think its a d16z6 but I am not sure. I am getting the motor for next to nothing and I am wondering if it would be compatable for me to swap some things over like.

A. The intake manifold
B. The vtec head

Now I am sure that when swaping the head I will swap over the manifold and everything else, which is fine because I have the complete motor and tranny and even an aem cam gear. I am just wanting a temporary setup while I save for a swap, plus I absolutely hate the intake manifold currently on my car.

If anyone could give me a little help on this that would be greatly appreciated, I did search for this but I really didn't see anything about what I was looking for.

 

bump, from another honda tech memeber that needs to learn about mini-me setups one day.......

 

you may want to search and/or ask around on this board:

i think there may be a problem since your car is odbII and the motor is odbI. you may have to do a lot of engine harness wiring work to pull it off, but i really am not sure. as for a mini-me, i've been told the intake manifold from the d16y8 is better in terms of flow. again, wiring may be a pain if trying to use the z6 im.

here's a link about the theory of the mini-me swap:

and a great link about installing the y8 im on a y7 motor that might give you an idea how the d16z6 im install might go onto a y7:

i hope that helped...

 

bump...because Im about to do this and need the info also!

 

Well this message board will help you out with doing this kinda of swap http://dseries.org/

 

Yeah thats a really good board with good information, I just thought I would post it here since this is more my "home" than anywhere else. Also I thought I would break the cycle of "look at my car" or "what colors did 92-95 civics come in".

Thanks for the help so far though.

keep it coming.
