d16y7 1.6 dx motor an 5 spd trans obd2 some guy is selling for 150 bucks says it will work in my 1990 civic dx and that i would prolly have to change the distributor and switch to obd1 or something i have no clue need help as to if it will work and if so what exactly do i need for it? either that or this motor the guy has also d15z1 1.5 vtec with 5spd trans for 350 bucks also has a jdm b16a obd1 vtec with hydraulic 5spd trans for 1295 an a jdm b16a obd2 dohc vtec with hydrulic trans header,an more for 2,000 but im on a budget an my car is old,lol but let me know any help if possible

 

Wow, thats a deal. I cant help you on swap advice though.

 

damn.. i woulda jumped on the b16 if it was obd2 swap.. but then i have an ek

 

thanks, yeah this guy has a couple motors he said he bought all the motors from a local garage that did nothing but motor swaps which they are no longer around so he bought them all up an is now selling the motors and parts,which i found to be some nice deals, if anyone has any info on how-to let me know thanks

 

wow thats a bitch of a swap. id never put an OBDII into an OBD0 car. too much of a hassle. keep your eyes peeled for a DOHC ZC or a B16A1

 

alot of ppl are telling me that its not really that hard and that all is needed is a cable trans, and to convert dpfi to mpfi an then convert to obd1 and a fellow honda owner/mechanic said he would be willing to do all the work from 400 bucks is that a deal or am i going to get screwed?

 

youre getting screwed for the conversion. you could do it yourself for less than a quarter that. theres a DIY in the DIY section (fancy that).

i still say you should look for a ZC or SiRI. id never swap a d16y7 into any car. i ahd one for a little under a year and i was longing for a better one the entire time.
