RE: D16A pics
 

it could be a mini me motor, becuse i never heard of a d16a vtec

RE: D16A pics
 

It says d16A on it. huh?. I am going to try to help you find more info.

RE: D16A pics
 

hang on what motor it came out of? you mean what car it came out of? its out of the 88-91 CRX

RE: D16A pics
 

+1

Plus, that's a 6th gen intake manifold.

I would guess it's out of either an 88-91 CRX or a 92-95 Del sol Lx/Dx or Civic Dx.

RE: D16A pics
 

yeah what now i got seconded by a mod. :D

RE: D16A pics
 

So far under google all I kind find is what sniper said.

RE: D16A pics
 

im almost 100% sure its out of the 88-91 CRX.

RE: D16A pics
 

Ok, a little more digging and...

6th Generation (1996-2000)
EJ1 D16A JDM All 2-door
EK5 D16A JDM All 4-door 4WD/LEV
EK8 D16A JDM All 4-door 4WD/LEV

So right about the IM; wrong about the v-tec. Apparently it's the JDM D16Z6.

RE: D16A pics
 

are those vtec? and 4wd? for real

RE: D16A pics
 

Yeah, they are v-tec, and I was wondering the same thing... 4WD can't mean four wheel drive. I ahve never heard of an all wheel drive Civic. It must mean somehting about the chassis or suspension.

RE: D16A pics
 

so its comparable to a D16Z6 and if so what did it that come out of the crx/del sol or something else. im having trouble i bought a distributor from msd and i order the one that said honda civic 95-97 1.6L VTEC. now i know its not a civic motor but it is a 1.6L VTEC so how do u think i should go about ordering one that will fit. thanks for all the help.

RE: D16A pics
 

the only 4wd civic i ever heard of was the 86-91 wagons, and some even came with a 6 spd

RE: D16A pics
 

You need a 6th gen (96-00) D series dizzy.

RE: D16A pics
 

It think they me they where meaning Front wheel drive.

RE: D16A pics
 

ok i need an aftermarket one cause i have a external coil and i ordered a distributor but it didnt fit and it was for a d series. i need a engine code to compare it to. is it comparable to a D16A6 or a D16Z6.

RE: D16A pics
 

92-95 USED CIVIC ENGINE VTEC SOHC D16A VTEC

info provided by http://www.enginereplacement.com/htdocs/honda.htm

supposidly its outta the civic esi from i have no idea. rated at 126bhp

RE: D16A pics
 

Not the A6. Thats a 4th gen motor. I am pretty sure any dizzy 92-00 would work, even non-vtec, but If I were ordering I would think the D16Y8 would be the most comparable.

RE: D16A pics
 

whats ESI stand for. i also found a artical about a crx with this motor and it said its not fuel injection but mine is. I am basically trying to find a distributor that will fit this damn phantom of a motor so i can finally get it back from the shop.

RE: D16A pics
 

I think he meant EFI. The motor out of the CRX is the D16A6 Non vtec motor.

Tell them you need a D16 vetc dizzy. That should suffice.

RE: D16A pics
 

i did and they sent me the right one i ordered and it don't fit.

RE: D16A pics
 

Break through. ok so i found out why the new dizzy as super D calls it is because its not a hitachi distributor. so i have two options find out what brand name my stock one is and see if msd makes one for that motor or buy a whole hitachi distributor and put the cap i already bought on the new one. so does anyone know anything about the dizzies on this motor or am i just SOL.

RE: D16A pics
 

msd doesn't make any d series distributers, just caps and rotors.

RE: D16A pics
 

yeah what i was saying is a hitachi distributor is the stock one. its a name brand that comes on some hondas. i orderd a dizzy that was for a hitachi and mine is not so i was thinking maybe i can order a hitachi distributor from auto zone or advanced and put it on my car and then put the cap i bought that fits the hitachi one.

RE: D16A pics
 

hmmmmn ef dizzy not fitting.... sounds like your engine has a z6 head casting. sounds about right though being this engine is from the 92-95 models. either convert to obd1 or hack your distributor. im willing to bet non of the dizzy footing lines up. the upper footing should be the closest lining up but a little to short to put a bolt through it. actually did mean esi, found that info searching google.

RE: D16A pics
 

so can we all agree that this is from a jdm 92-95 civic and if so can we agree that if i was to order a distributor from msd for a 92-95 1.6L sohc vtec it would fit. did 92-95 usdm come with vtec or no. thanks for all the help

RE: D16A pics
 

sounds like you got a pretty rare motor on your hands there

RE: D16A pics
 

yeah and it better be worth it cause this is a pain in the A$$. just wish i had the car here so i could compare the old cap to some pics on the net.

RE: D16A pics
 

found my distributor for the motor i ordered the 92-97 1.6L w/o vtec which is weird cause i have vtec but msd provided a outline of the distributor cap and i matched it with my stock one. cool huh. my civ should be up and running by next week thats if they don't burn up my clutch dyno tuning the damn thing. whith my luck they will and ill have to drop another couple of hundred of dollars but i don't want to pay to get the tranny broke open twice so ill just have to buy the lsd and flywheel while im at it so until then thanks for all the help and i appreceate it.<<<<<<don't know if i spelled that right but thanks.

RE: D16A pics
 

What is not fitting about the dizzy?

Is it the plug for the harness? Is it the actually the 3 mounting "ears"?

When you put a obd1 D series with a OBD1 head in a 6th gen civic the plug in for the dizzy from the harness will not plug into the obd1 dizzy. When a person swaps in a obd1 D into a 6th gen you have 2 options. 1) You can cut the harness and splice avery wire to put a obd1 dizzy plug on it or 2) You can take the internals out of a obd2 dizzy and insert them on a obd1 dizzy and under a obd1 dizzy cap. My question is what is not fitting with it.

Answer these first and we can move on for there.

RE: D16A pics
 

it was the mounting ears but i found the one that fits so its cool but, do u think this came out of a 92-95 civic in japan. cause thats what i think it is. and whats a obd1

RE: D16A pics
 

I think it is a JDM OBD1 Z6 per say.

RE: D16A pics
 

Whats obd1 mean!

RE: D16A pics
 

Could just be a non-stamped 2G SOHC VTEC ZC.

RE: D16A pics
 

OBD = on board diognostics

1 = 1st generation of the on board diognostics, there is obd0(mid 80's to 91), obd1(92-95), obd2a(96-98), obd2b(98-00) and I dont know what follows that.

RE: D16A pics
 

cool so when i buy parts for it i should order them from a 92-95 and it should fit. the distributor i boutght that fits is from a 92-95 so i guess i kinda answered my own question. any who thanks for all the help and i should have the car back from the shop by next week. also md how is your hatch. u get that new motor in there yet. that thing is going to be sweet. i wanted to get the 96 hatch but, i came acrossed this coupe and what can i say i loved it. still want a hatch.

RE: D16A pics
 

I have not done anything to it yet. I plan to start this week.

RE: D16A pics
 

rock on! good luck with it and im sure it will be a beast when your done.

RE: D16A pics
 

woah woah wait. its a 6th gen...so wouldnt that make it the JDM equivalent of the D16Y8? not the z6.




thats what i said in his other thread. i was figuring it was out of a 4th gen CRX?
