hey guys i have a crx si with a d16a6 that motor has gone bad,is there a better or faster direct replace for this motor without a lot of issues or do i have to get another a6,have found a mid 90's 1.6 from a civic but wasn't sure it would work---tring to learn as i go so thanks for any help
 
not sure what i found,just talked to a guy on the phone at a wrecking yard,which of these motors is the one to go with ,thanks
 
your right i should do my homework but i'm running this car on a 3/8 high banked dirt oval and i'm also the points leader in the series for the season championship thats why i'm in a little bit of a hurry,didn't mean to be rude in any way-but thanks for the help
 
hey blanco ! the rulebook says stock motor,no cold air box's,no turbo,no aftermarked springs and so on,nothing about engine swaps lol-i seen on the referance page that the z6 is a vtec,will i need a different harrness to do this ? this is fast and growing class here in ky. the integra's are coming on strong-i'm not a newbie to motors or racing just to these type of cars,all these ecu's and electroics is stuf i've never had to deal with-thanks a bunch
 
to put it in your car you'll need an obd0 to obd1 conversion harness, but other than that I believe that it should be a straight drop in.
 
ok another stupid question,i think the motor i called about is still in the wrecked car-if i pull motor with engine harrness and all can i go from there-and i would say the ecu is still in the car------------sounds like you have days like me dave lol
 
yeah, today is actually sucking pretty bad. bought a valve spring compressor thats shit. also broke 2 bolts for the vtec solenoid. great day lol.

I'm pretty sure then if you pull the entire engine harness and replace yours with the z6 one and the new ecu then you'll be good to go, but don't hold me to it. Blanco knows better but I don't know where he is.

whats up guys -while i'm waiting on this other motor i was wondering if the head from the d16a6 where worth anything,i have 2,one is stock but a very good head,the other has .030 shaved-fresh valve job and a aftermarket intake-and will this head fit any other type motor

hey blanco hows it going-the ecu i have now is a pm6 thats chiped, can this ecu be used with another chip on this other motor
 
hey guys -this guy was looking to buy one of my a6 heads but his is a b15 will the heads interchange,looked for a forun on here that might tell this stuf but come up dry,or will the a6 head fit other motors

b15..I don't know about or have ever heard of a b15...b16 maybe typed 15 by accident? well whatever, b series don't interchange with d series.

good luck on finding a good z6 though, check some craigslist and the for sale threads sometimes you get lucky
 
my bad dave d15 is what i going to say ,a6 is what i'm really looking for- was looking at the z6 as a option-hows your build going
 
eh its going alright, I'm waiting for a buddy of mine to tap and dye a couple of bolts I broke for the vtec solenoid :(

d15 -- do you know the full engine code? I'm pretty sure it'll fit though,

I guess it kinda sucks that I decided against putting a b16 in my car or i'd have a nice stock a6 motor for you lol,

where exactly are you located?
 
might have caught a break ,got a call about a place in tenn.thats only about a hours drive from here thats called the honda grave yard,supose to have tons of honda and integra parts,guy said he got a doghouse for a teg for next to nothing
