Kickitinthesticks Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 i just picked up a d16yz engine for $20. is it possible to swap the head over to my d16y7 block? would it be a better idea to rebuild the yz and drop that engine into my car?

I <3 My Ej1 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 do you mean z6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickitinthesticks Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 alright so i was wrong lol. its a z6 haha. so here's the deal with it, it spun a bearing, the crank is junk, and it has a bent rod. where can i find parts fairly cheap? what interchanges with the z6? will it bolt in to a 96 civic cx and with what ecu?

cmgogo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 d-series.org, go read ALOT. However I will tell you that odds are that motor is toast, if the sleeves arent scored i would be supprised. Finding a good servicable crank for under $200 is rare, and rods... your going to be looking at the junkyard, or hitting up a parts store for about $40 per. Also it is illegal to run a z6 in a car built after 95 (its OBD1) so you would need to do a OBD2-OBD1 conversion, and if you have any sort of inspection or emissions in your state you will fail.

Kickitinthesticks Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've got an eagle crank that i got on jdmhub.com for 159.95. the block, i took to the local machine shop and they said it was ok thank god. so after the obd1 conversion and a p28 ecu the car should run ok correct? i also need valve spring retainers, do you know where i can get some?
