mindset Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 What can you guys tell me about the d16a1? Is it any good? My friend thinks it has a B18 but there's a metal thing by the headlight that says d16. I don't know but is this motor any good to boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 so you have a d16a1 that your friend thinks is a b18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindset Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 so you have a d16a1 that your friend thinks is a b18? Thanks for the good info. And no it just looks familiar but I'm sure its a D16. Hes a dsm'r so its not like we know anything... and someone could of swapped in a B18 which is why I need to know if anyone would do that. Kind of like swapping in a 420a for a 4g63... Its dumb and pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know my Honda motors at all, they're completely new to me. Yes the motor is a DOHC. It's painted red, I don't know if that means anything...

Kastigir Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Then it is either a B series, or the ZC DOHC motor. Check the engine stamp. It's on the block where it bolts to the transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 maybe its a H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 maybe its a H Possibly, though it's a much more difficult swap than a B or DOHC ZC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 oh my. engines don't have headlights. d16a1 is a dohc non-vtec engine from the 86-89 integra, it's most popular as a swap in the first gen crx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
