I haven't got the motor yet, I'm picking it up on Friday from Pollito. I have to drive 4 hours to get it. It's just the block with crank, no tranny. My plan is to get a 92-95EX and use the Z6 head so I won't have to change the wiring over.
Finding a decent 92-95 Civic is like pulling teeth, so I'm thinking about buying a CRX. Will a '90 model take a D16Y8 block okay as far as mounts and transmission? I know I'll have to redo the wiring harness and ECU.
Well, I ended up getting a D16Y8 block with cylinder head for $400. I suppose this will drop in just as easy as the Z6 would. Just need a P28 ECU and a conversion harness.
This person is a scammer!!! I'm a moderator of the Turbo D16 Forum and he scammed one of the mods. I wouldn't buy anything from him.

Well, it won't be a "normal" upgrade. There wil be a little "extra" in it. :D I'll end up getting an EX tranny and having it sent to CA. It will be hardened with an LSD.
Try a -3 AN oil fitting. Sounds like you're getting too much oil into the turbo. Also, take a pic of your return line if you could. That may be the cause of it.
Oh, one more question: will the DX tranny bolt up to the Z6? I imagine it would, but just want to know for sure. It would make a huge difference on how fast I put this together.
HA HA HA! I'm looking to buy a 92 DX, but I'm trying to find out what I can do to it first. I'm one of the Moderators at the Turbo D16 forum (ScrappyDoo) and most of the people there swap to B series motors (if they swap), otherwise they already have a worthy D. I have a dealer account with...
I've never done a swap before, but I believe this should be an easy one. The question I have is what do I need to have to do this? I would think the axles and fuel system to be the sam, what about the motor mounts? Any insight into this would be appreciated! Oh, this will be a manual tranny...
Looking for a one within a decent distance (less than 500 miles) from Alabama. My zip code is 36066. Hit me up with what you have - hopefully someone from AL, GA, FL, TN, or MS will have something for me.
