Okay just bought my first honda a 95 civic EX coupe noticed something i think is off
the heads say dohc vtec ...i thought they were supposed to be sohc.

but then again its not quite stock has yokico shocks dc headers some after market exhaust has aem fuel regulator high flow intake forgive me for not knowing the name .. any have picks of what a stock engine is supposed to look like i noticed the head sits a little higher than everything else i dont think i have a cm between it and the hood

pics would be nice or some info on how to identify the motor would probably be better

 

engine code is on the block to the left of the exhaust manifold...stock ex motor should say d16z6...

 

Look on the engine block. It should say D16z6 if you still have the stock motor.

 

unfortunately I don't have a picture but... on the tranny side of the engine just below the coolant return hose there should be a small engraved block code printed onto the engine. If it starts with a 'B' it's a b series engine. (master of the obvious I am) If it starts with 'D'... swap it.

Do a search on all of the different Honda engine codes to familiarize yourself with it. Welcome to H-T.

 

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit if it starts with a D turbo it!.

 

left i know thats theres not to much there on the left above the headers right?

the block code will be to the left of the header about halfway down. it will read something like b18b, b18c, b18c1, b16a and thats how you know what ya got

You have an LS Integra Motor but if it says DOHC VTEC on the valve cover you may have a LS/VTEC setup

 

Indeed. THe B18B is an LS motor. Good low compression for lots of boost. But, if your valve cover says DOHC VTEC on it, you might have an LS/VTEC swap as someone already stated.

Both ways, I pray you didn't get someone else's nightmare. Plus, you do have a NICE motor/platform to work with. How does it run? Pulls strong and pretty quick? How much did you get it for? Take a few pics of the entire motor.

 

Ahh man, they gave you the wrong motor. Why don't you come to MN and I'll change that out for the proper stock motor and send you on your way.

 

how much was it?

 

he saif he paid 3900 for it

here is a full bay pic

 

Score! Pretty good find.

 

wtf!? your one lucky guy man!

you payed 3900 bux for that???

LSvtec's are gnarly,
hope it runs coo.

hows it feel?

 

I would be scared to buy an LS vtec for that cheap and from somebody that I don't know, I would not buy an LS vtec period unless I built it.
