Hi,
I have to get a new engine for my 1990 Honda Civic DX (toasted rings)
I have the D15B2 engine( 1.5L).
I check out luckystar out of Toronto, ON...which had the best price/warranty vs my local junkyards
The guy said he can get me a 1.6L engine for $600Cdn He said that my intake & exhaust manifolds from my 1.5L just have to be swapped onto the 1.6L. I said hey cool why not. I bought it.
Now I think I jumped the gun too soon. Now I learned that there is a D16A engine which isn't recomended at ALL. I'm ASSUMING the engine I bought is a D16A6 (89-91 Civic Si). I called the place back left msg for more info, etc... (place doesn't open till Monday)
If it's the D16A I'm cancelling the order ASAP.
If it's the D16A6 would it be a direct bolt-in with my intake/exhaust manifold and ECU? I searched a few places on the net and I really couldn't find any real info. The ECU's are different according to this website under the ECU info.
I also heard that I'll also need a resistor box, wiring harness for the 1.6L
I'm not really looking for my car to be rice rocket with the larger engine. I just need something simple to and from work and the g/f place.
