Well started this morning at 7am and finished at 2am today, with many breaks in between. I pulled the beat up old d16a6 out of the CRX and dropped in a 98 d16y7 block (that I picked up for free) and a 93 d16z6 head (got for $50). Well I was fairly easy. I had bought the z6 head bolts but they ended up not working and I ended up using the y7 head bolts. I used the a6 alternator and intake manifold so I could remain obd0 and since the y7 block dosent have a ECT sensor on the block I connected the two wires that went to the sensor together for a temp fix so the fans always on for now. I used the a6 dizzy with some modification I made it fit. Switched the driver side mount bracket to the a6 mount bracket. Used the stock a6 manifold. And stock Si Ecu. And used a RPM switch for the Vtec. Im really please with the results as this is my beater/my sisters car. So for $50 and some change for gaskets its a fun car.

Oh yeah it has a nice new paint job also. We had left over paint so we color matched the valve cover to.

 

very nice job.

 

nice job indeed

 

Good job. Looks good.

 

congrats on the new engine
looks good
clean head indeed

as for the fan thermoswitch u could have taken the plug fof behing the block and take the sensor off the A6 and put it on the block
be careful bc u can break the pins on the thermosiwthc easy and they are 40 at honda

 

Yeah we tried to to swap the sensor over to the other block but there wasnt a hole big enough for it anywhere on the block there was a big drain bolt that we were gunna drill out the center of and thread it in. We are gunna try it today, I just need to go out and see if I can find a tap big enough.

 

no dont do that u are going to regret it
the bolt should be next to the oil press witch and the oil filter..... if not u can just cut the wires of the thermo on ur car and rewire it to the thermo switch o the thermostat housing on the Y7 bloock

 

Ok cool thanks I think Ill see if I can rewire it to there.

 

looks awesome brandon, now your sister will get all the hoes in that CRX....oh wait.....

nevermind

 

LOL ricky, you go to hell you goto hell and you DIE.

 

wow brandon , that looks amazing and fresh and so clean YO

 

sweet... great work

 

the fan switch will be located on the thermostat housing. also, you should've used the z6 intake manifold. the runners and ports are a little bit larger. you can use it with the pm6
