It's because it's a 96. You have the same engine as the 6th gen civic lx/dx. It's a ****ed up design.

so can i get the intake for a 6th gen civic?? what yeaars are the 6 gen??? also i know that engine suxs also what is the engine code for that ?? for ex D or B16 or something like that

thanks for the help

Bakeoff

Any intake for a d series 5th or 6th gen should work. 5th=92-95, 6th=96-2000. I'm blanking on your engine code... Too early to think. But the easiest, cheapest swap for some power would be a d16y8. You can get the engine and ecu for about 400 and be up to about 125hp.

You can also swap in a B series motor if you get the correct motor mounts, I believe. I know the S didnt come with a VTEC motor, so the mounts wouldn't hold a B series engine ... I dont know too much about the subject though. Perhaps someone else here does?

As far as the engine code, its on the front of the block. Look at the motor behind the radiator, it will be stamped in the front of the block.

You're right. you don't know much on the subject. Misleading others is bad!

All D series from 92 and up ahve the same motor moutns. S or Si doesn't matter. You could slap in a 5th gen CX hatchback engine if you wanted to. I know for a fact that my 93 sol S chassis was wired for vtec from the factory. I slapped ina d16z6 and vtec worked without any extra wiring. It's the same as a civic dx. Same options, same engine, same everything.
And if you wanted to keep it obd2, like your 96 is, you'd have to maintain your current wiring harness to slap a B in there, or make sure it's an obd2 engine, and that it's not one of the ones that has the lockout on it.

Thanks Bakeoff, I didn't want to mislead. My B series fit right in my 95 Si with no problems.

thanks for all the help for sure im going to have to swap becouse its so slow but it likes getting to redline and sounds good even w 140K also im going to change my timing belt b/c someone told me that if it breaks it would ruin my engine, is this true? what will happen? also last question LOL well if i find a GSR engine 96 and above can i swap it over and still have obd II since i love going to autozone to know what was wrong with it ? what would i need ecu, engine, axels,and ???

sorry i just changed to hondas i know some about cars but a little about swaping sorry guys for all the questions
