yes see that the spark plugs are in the front

 

it mite be a 92-95 sohc vtec... mine looks slighty diff

 

looks like one to me i can almost see the vtec solenoid under the breather hose on the valve cover

 

i thought the throttle body was different in 96-98 civics? didnt they face upwards?

 

not sure on that one...i had alittle experience with a z6 but never a z8 all i really know is b series...im pretty sure its an ex though

Nope, only on the D16Y7. Y8/Y5 had the horizontal TB, not the vertical one.

y5 has same im style as the y8.

 

looks like either a y8 or y5. can't tell which one it is from the pic.

 

ITs not a Civic EX Engine. Theres no VTec Cilinoid (cant spell it)
thats a single cam motor, not a Twin cam. My brother works on Hondas for a living

lol, its obviously a single cam, and no its not a twin cam, because that would require the cams to be the same.

it looks like an EX motor to me, but if you can get another picture, get one taken of the engine code

Your first post ever on HT and you fu*# it up. Not only do you not know anything about Hondas but you prolly just ticked some people off. Welcome aboard noob.

LOOK ON THE BLOCK....

 

an lx non-vtex motor has the throttle body pointed up.

 

Yep, I'd agree that's a single cam VTEC from a 96-98 EX. I just picked up a bone stock 97 and that pic looks identical to mine.

 

yea thats the motor im putting into my vx for now.

 

yup looks like my old motor from my 97 ex.

 

Yea, it is a D16Y8 i have an 97 Civic EX and it looks just like my power plant other than mine has a Blue AEM intake and Chikara header

 

any of you know if this is a direct bolt in into a 92 vx?
