im probaly gonna buy this hatch it runs but u can here theres a rod just flying around in there what is an average price for a sohc vtec motor for a 91 si hatch thanks

 

SOHC VTEC's i have seen them going for about 400

 

just buy a dohc motor like a b16 or b18.

 

200-500 seems about the range for z6 swaps.


Yager-

 

Many people ,when doing a motor swap, dont care about there old motor and will let it go pretty cheap i've had numerous opportunties to come up on z6's with motor and tranny in good condition for as little as $150

 

not to sound like a dick, but the usual b series swap is nearly 1k + than a simple D series swap... and this guy is probably on a budget

if you had an eg, it might be a diff story

 

anybody else get tired of hearing this constantly when inquiring about a d series swap?

 

ya, it's so annoying... sohc vtec swaps are cheap and reliable

 

yup,you completly took the words out of my mouth

 

Where's the best place to buy a d16z6?? Are there any places like hmo that sell them? (IAS wants way too much for them, so no thanks).

 

sohc vtec swaps rock (IF done right...). Try a wrecking yard. I got my D16Y8 (1996) for 850... it had 215 psi across the board, cam gear, bored out throttle body.

 

and rare compared to ever kid droping a b16 into their car and thinking their automatically fast ****!

 

pretty much any wrecking yard of a decent size should have or be able to get one for ya. http://www.nippon-motors.com has them for $650, kinda pricey if u ask me though. Before you go shopping online, hit up a few wrecking yards to see what they have.

and about the B-series thing, yeah im kinda getting tired about hearing that all the time too. I mean i'd love to have a b-series, but theres no way ill be able to afford one anytime soon. I'm planning to do the d16z6 swap sometime soon too.

 

ya im not in the mood for a b16 because its not the most disireable motor to me but i am on a budget and i hate it when im like ya guys im lookin for a sohc vtec motor and there like just get a dohc im like sure man u payin haha thanks alot guys im still lookin so if anyone knows someone gettin rid of one help me out!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Im pretty sure nippon sells ZC's for about the same price if not cheaper. but SOCH VTEC is a pretty good motor. Has good power and still cheap.

 

yeah, my original plan was to go ZC, but finding the right parts for it if something breaks is hard enough. plus, for the extra little bit of money, I'd rather have an engine thats newer, a lot easier to find parts for, probably has less km's and its just newer technology. Plus, they're close to the same amount of power anyways and theres more aftermarket parts for a D16z6.
just my $.02
