okay well basically i just bought a 88 civic lx (4door) and it already has a d16z6 swap into it. buddy sold it to me cheap because it nolonger runs.
He had the motor swapped by some "kindergardner" and the wiring job is real shitty. So I am guessing it is most likely a wiring problem. Regardless I am going to rewire all the dpfi to mpfi and so on to cancel that out as a possible problem first. I have done simple motor swaps in the past but nothing to
do with vtech. so here are the my questions I have about this swap.....
Is a D16z6 basically the same motor as a D16a6 just with Vtech?
What is the best/easiest ECU to use with this swap??
(I am under the impression that you would just use a PM6 with a Vtech Controller)
Is a Civic LX the same wiring as a DX?
Is there anything important I need to know about this doing this Swap?
I would appreciate it if anyone could answer these questions and any future questions I will have.
thanks,
Cee
