d16a help
 

ok i'm new to this and as u guys can prolly tell i'm a newb here.

just need opinions on my motor. its a d16a dohc

is it decent? can i work with it and get a fast ride? also turbos? compatible? i was readin bout a d17 and they were sayin in order to work with it u would have to change a lot of the stock parts so it could handle the power and it would be cheaper to buy a better motor. is that the case with mine?

tell me how u guys feel bout the motor and around how much power it has and torque

just tryin to learn more so ne help would be appreciated

thanx

is that dohc d16 from an integra

RE: d16a help
 

yea the older integras like 89 ish around there

RE: d16a help
 

i am not sure but i think that is the equivelent on a jdm dohc zc engine that came in some 88-91 civics. it had 130 hp and is still a d series so most d series parts will work on it like header and intake etc. the only thing is cam/valvetrain upgrades will be harder to come by since it is not a very mainstream swap like a sohc vtec or b series.

RE: d16a help
 

yea the guy told me the person who had it last swapped it with the integra motor.

but thanx for the help i'm just tryin to c what i have to work with.

if ya find n e thing else plz share... that goes for ne body..
