I recently reclaimed a 89 Civic Si hatch that I sold a year ago. After getting it back and accesing the complete neglect to ones vehicle, I'm stuck rebuilding the motor. I had to get a replacement D16a6 block. I have also aquired a 98 d16y8 complete top end. I want to keep the block because of smog purposes, but the head I can get away with. Motors are no prob for me, I just never started with building up SOHC's and have always opted for the b series. I don't want to swap because I plan on selling the car in a year or so but want to make it fairly quick(ZC pistons, D16Y8 Head, cam, bolt ons, and some head work. here are my questions...
1. I want to use a ZC piston for higher CR . I know they are the same bore, but what about wrist pin height? is a ZC piston a ZC is a ZC is a ZC? I know that they are out of a DOHC engine, but they do make SOHC (brown top ) versions also.(and for those of you who say BS, I used to have one!
2. I know the head will bolt right up. I am staying OBD 0. shouls I just use all of the sensors from the D16A6 head along with the dizzy? what about ECU options?
3. Any guess on HP/Trq. #'s with this setup?
4. what types of cams are complimentary for this setup? whos making the shizle?
thanks
