I know that the transmission housing for the d16a1 will not bolt up to a d16a6 block 100%
and I know that a JDM ZC transmission will (but the jdm zc's are a little harder to come by)
What I would like to know is, will the d16a1 gear set fit into the a6 tranny housing?

I would like to make the si/zc hybrid tranny but waiting for a zc tranny on the cheap is gonna keep me waiting a long time.

AND, will the d16a1 differential mount into the si tranny case? I have a zc half shaft and I'd like to put it to use.

Thanks in advance

 

top again

 

I thought the ZC halfshaft only fit the ZC engine. have you checked to see of the block is drilled and tapped for it, of if it even can be (IE bosses are there)

 

yep. all the sohc 1.6L motors have them.

i asked this over on the old dseries.org board months ago...and MistaBone replied that the d16a1 is an oddball tranny and it wouldnt work. but i cant find the post cause the search is shitty/disabled on that board.

 

Mista Bone is on this board too, Hit him up with an IM. Because he really knows his D series stuff.

 

Thanks Fast crx and VA dude.. I'll hit him up.

 

I was thinking about a DX tranny with a HF 5th gear... 4Krpms cruising on the interstate is kinda gay...

 

buy a zc box from hmotors.200 wit intermediate shaft. great guys over there

Exactly what motor do you expect to put in front of that, even a DOHC ZC runs like total **** in front of a DX transmission. ANd you want to put a HF 5th to make it even worse?

 

Easy answer... Turbo

 

Nevermind - Can't be done. Thanks: Mister Bone.

 

What do you consider "on the cheap?"

H Motors Online sells ZC trannies for $150 + shipping.

 

I put HF 5th gear in my 90 si 3k cruising at 70mph

150-175 shipped is reasonable to me. I did email them, I'm awaiting a reply.
