I have a 95 EX with a D16z6 but the engine's broke. Are any parts form it interchangeable to a 99 DX HB with a D16y7? Like intake, exhaust manifold, ect. Looking to improve the D16y7 as much as i can.

 

whats wrong with the d16z6 because if it's just damage to the block you might be able to do a mini-me swap and thus essentially make your 99 dx a 99 ex

 

dosent the 99 ex have the y8 tho?

 

Heard some loud knocking in the head and i think it dropped a valve. So the crank is probably toast. The engine stopped while driving.

 

The 99 is a DX with a Y7.

 

the only thing that you can use to improve the y7 is the z6 had but you will need to use the z6 distributor and buy a conversion harness from rywire.com that will allow you to use the 0bd1 z6 distributor with the obd2 civic. i say to part out the 95 civic and use the money from the part out to build your 99. buy a y8 head and distributor and convert your car from nonvtec to vtec you will also need the ecu from 99-00 civic ex. another thing you can do is get the intake manifold from a 96-00 civic ex (y8).

 

Thanks for the advice. I thought I might need some type of harness adaptor if I make it Vtec.

 

to make vtec work once you install the head and the vtec ecu you just run 2 wires from the vtec solnoid to the ecu yourself. there is no special harness.

the conversion harness i mentioned above is if you decide to use the d16z6 head (its obd1) and your car is obd2 so the distributor will not just plug up and will require a conversion plug for it to work.

 

Ok thanks, I appreciate the info.
