I might buy a 1993 D16Z6. The guy says it has 100,000km on it and that it sat for 3 years. He said he would change the pistons rings and head gasket for me. He is selling the engine. ECU and dizzy for $750 CDN. What you guys think? Is it worth it? I'm having second thoughts because the engine has sat for 3 years.

 

I would be skeptical if the guy offered to fix stuff that isnt even supposudly wrong with it? Wouldnt you? IF it isnt broke then there is no need to fix it...DO a compression test and low ball the hell out of him.......everyone does it to me

 

750.00 is way too much, does it have tranny, ecu, axles, etc.? if not, tell him like 350.00 to maybe 500.00

 

Even tho I got mine from a friend I got :

93 D16Z6 100k(no VTEC on valve cover)
Tranny
ECU
Axles
All Mounts
Chikara Header
MSD wires & stuff
linkage w/neuspeed bushings

all for 300 US

 

Yah, this one sounds shady. You can probably get a Z6 thats not tampered with or opened up by anyone for alot less. Have you tried any tuner shops in your area? Sometimes I find z6 motors sitting next to shops' bay doors at night...waiting for the metal man to come pick 'em up for recycling... (thats if you have any shops around where you live.)

 

so you have any sohc lying around for cheap?

 

vtec or non.....

 

cheapest, and im trying to avoid shipping.

Sorry dude...I have none of my motors for sale. I'll let you know though. SPL always has some parts laying around.

 

a joey you got a d16z6 with an si tranny hows that combo. And the second question your getting a greddy sohc kit now what about that blue box **** or you dont have to worry because your car is converted to obd1???

Im playing with a z6 rite now and wounderng about that greddy kit...

 

just get your minime on it'll cost you less than $200, you learn alot, and its a great mid-way "swap"
