so then i should actually just buy a better motor and beef it up i not mess with a turbo.

 

How much power are you wanting? And I don't mean to judge, but I don't think it would be a very good idea to invest all this time and money into a car that you're going to give to someone who is new to driving... especially if it has a lot of power. That's just asking for trouble IMO.

 

^^ I wouldnt give my son or daughter that maybe a 85 oldsmobile delta 88 for a first car, nice like a tank ;-)

 

ok sorry for the delay ive been busy with baby problems and working on this car. so i have a buddy call me up the other day saying he has a motor for me he said its a d16z6. ive been doing research and for what i see the strong little motor thats worth fixing up. but the doen side he said its a automatic and my car is 5 speed can i use this motor with my tranny and it still be a five speed or what. i talked to a mechanic and he said i could i would have to change the clutch and fly wheel. but he wasnt positive. he hasnt worked on many imports. so will it work and is it worth

 

Your transmission will directly bolt onto the D16Z6 engine with no modifications needed.

 

sweet. i been trying to find parts for it but i cant find nothing really like i want to put better stuff all together on it. do i i just need to look up that motor or will other motor arts fit it. i want better internals.

 

the d16z6 is form a 92-95 civic ex or si, its a good motor, as for add ons and internals, first ... are you going to strip it down and rebuild it? or are you asking about some type of easy hp bolt on? if this is going to be a daily driver and if the motor is healthy just leave it like it is and drive it. but before droping it in i would replace the easy stuff to get to like timing belt/water pump, front and rear main seals.

 

yeah its the ex and its already tore down. so i was thinking bout bore it out. and all that pretty much build it to a nice beffy motor noting amazingly crazy tho. but like ive said before i know nothin bout motors. except for what i read. so like i guess parts like intake manifolds and throttle bodys and and really anything i can do to make it better and faster. cuz really i dont know if my niece is going to get this car when im done i just might help her buy one lol. any advice helps im open for all knowledge

 

if you know nothing about motors then i suggest just finding a complete running motor and drop it in, or if you have the $$$$$ to spend then drop it off at a engine machine shop and have them do it. rebuilding a engine the right way and especially if your gonna modify it , have someone with experience and education do it. it takes skill and special tools to rebuild a engine.

 

is there a difference between a motor that has a 5 speed trannny and a motor that had a automatic tranny. if i make sense. like is there going to be parts missing. i just put a clutch slave cylinder on my stock motor but i didnt know if this new motor coming from a automatic would have different parts. and i want to learn how to builld a motor that why i ask hese question to get different opioions so if i screw it up o well i will redo it. my neighbor is a mechanic and he said hed help but i wanted to ask the honda world some questions before i bug him.
