im 18...just saved up enough to get a d16y8 to replace my 95 DX coupe motor... im borrowing my dad garage to put this thing in...i have a chiltons manuel and im on this site every single nite so i have some knowlege about cars..is it that hard??

 

it wont be that hard except the wiring if your not use to that...remember to have a 7mm punch and 32mm socket...

 

ight kewl man...anymore info...just in case i asked off for work for a week..hopefully no problems...this will be a fun experiment

 

come on people wat was your first swap like>> or did you not do it yourself?

 

i have helped on four engine swaps and each one was a good learning experience...just dont get mad cuz you will be learning alot...make sure all fluids are drained too...how many people do you have helping???

 

me<--every single chance that i have...PART TIME:brother, other car friend guy

 

ok, try to borrow, buy or downlaod the Helms manual... the one you have is very average..

Also, read this thread concerning the tools you will need and search search search for the wiring issues.
