Engine compatibility?
Hello,
I have a 91 Civic DX with a very tired 1.5L 16V engine, which burns HUGE amounts of oil. I don't see this engine lasting very long, so I'm going to start looking for a lower mileage engine at a junkyard. Which year/model engines would be compatible with my car? Thank you. Mikel |
RE: Engine compatibility?
try for a d16a1, or another d15
|
RE: Engine compatibility?
Excuse my ignorance, what year/models could those be found in?
Thanks, Mikel |

if you want to remain stock another 1.5 from a 88-91 will drop in no wiring needed. or you could get an si engine d16a6 from a 88-91 a little more power and you would want to convert it to multi-port fuel injection to get more power(but you don't have to).
or you could always go to a newer single cam vtec like a d16z6 or d16y8 you would need to wire up vtec and mpfi to get them to run properly, but if you go that route, the extra 30 hp is great. |

JDM D15B or DOHC ZC

So if I do a d15 vtech swap... or a d16a1 swap. All that I would need to do is modify the wiring harness... or change it??

Thank you all.

I like the D16Z6.

RE: Engine compatibility?
eh...the thing i dont like about the z6 is the low compression ratio. i like the D15B, DOHC ZC, and this one sweet setup that i cant recall now, but its all with stock D parts and it gets you to like 17.4:1 compression ratio.
