Engine REPLACEMENT
Alright...my engine is gettin up to 127,000, and i know it's still got a little ways to go, but im just looking into the future. When my engine finally gives out, would it be as big of a job as a Mini-Me or Engine Swap to just find another D16y7 and drop it in? And would it be that much MORE work than a direct engine replacement to put in a D16z6?
EDIT: .....put in a D16z6 or a D16y8 (thats a VTEC engine right?)? |

Sounds like he said he has a y7.

RE: Engine REPLACEMENT
yeah that was kind of confusing
technically it's illegal to put in a z6, it's from an older car, won't pass emissions testing straight replacement would be easy y8 upgrade would mean you need a new wiring harness and ecu |

I wish I could put a V8 Hemi in my 00 ex!

RE: Engine REPLACEMENT
maybe look into the b series engines for a swap. i am definately happy i went with a b16a2 in my car instead of turboing the d series.

RE: Engine REPLACEMENT
b16a2, thats a DOHC VTEC engine right? And how much harder is that to put in compared to the D16y7 that i have now?
And could someone direct me towards the harness i would need to use to do an engine swap to a b16a2? How about this deal on a B16a2? Can you usually find them for cheaper? |
RE: Engine REPLACEMENT
I do believe that you can get that engine for cheaper. I think around the 2k range? maybe cheaper. do a k20 swap though and make your car fly!
