I was getting some parts from the junkyard the other day when I spotted a late 80's / early 90's Integra. It was a 4-door LS. The 10th digit on the VIN is an "H" which means it's an '87 as far as I know. The only information I can find online says that this engine should be a D16 of some flavor but looking at it, it's clear it's a DOHC. The valvecover is sort of green/gray and it looks a little bigger than a D16. It looks like a non-vtech B18 to this newbie.

Is there a way to identify the engine by itself? The next time I'm there I'll take a digital camera along. The only reason this matters to me is that I can probably get the engine, transmission, axles, computer, and whatever I'd need to swap this engine/trans into my CRX HF for $300. It could double my hp if it's a B18.

Any input would be appreciated.

 

its a dohc d-16. found in 86-89

 

i foget the engine code for that motor, i think it was a D16a6 or something like that. it is a DOHC D motor.

 

D16a1 - 86-87
D16a3 - 88-89
D16a8/9 - 88-89
B18a1 - 90-91

Look on the block it should be stamped there.

 

D16a6 is 1988-1991 Civic Si/ CRX Si
FYI

 

Thanks for setting me straight.

Sounds like this would be an easier swap than a B18 (no adapter mounts). Hmm...
