How much For it spike?

 

$450+shipping OBO....I dunno how much Z6's go for, and my does need a reuild, so shoot me an offer!

Only things it missing is:
Valve cover(can get you one for no xtra $)
Intake manifold
Throttle Body
IACV

Otherwise, everything is there. Oh, no a/c either.

 

I have a intake manifold, throttle body and IACV off of a 92 DX if you feel like wasting your time :chuckles:

Dood, seriously... just get the whole motor/tranny combo out of that car with the engine harness and ECU. It's easier than the head swap. I bet if you had the keys, you could still start that motor You might want to do that just to be sure. Just leave it assembled.

You can easily pull it, but don't bother doing it without air tools. You'll waste so much time and probably injure yourself. I bet your uncle has a gas powered one at his shop. You'll need an air-ratchet, an air-impact wrench, and a air chisel (with a 1/4" punch attachment for the shift-linkage dowel-pin) and you could pull that engine in an hour and a half with someone's help.

Pull the axles, remove the exhaust, and shift linkage. Leave the engine harness connected, and just unplug the main harness connections near the firewall. It will all come out fine in one piece. The z6's engine harness connections works with your existing DX chassis harness, so all you need is to add (4?) wires for the VTEC setup. No wiring will be needed for the o2 sensor if you keep the z6 engine harness.

Some others like Supermac88 have done this swap already and probably could answer the VTEC wiring better than I could.

Offer your uncle $250 + your old running motor/tranny for the whole drivetrain and ECU. He's family. He might take less than that. Ask him...

 

I canhave anything in his junkyard for free and I can use his tools. I have already started the car and it does run good.

 

Get the whole motor/ECU/injectors/downpipe/intake/transmission. Measure the brake discs on that thing, and if they're bigger than yours, get all of those, too. If the rear brakes are discs, get the rear control arms, trailing arms, and e-brake cables. Don't bother with the power steering crap or AC, use the ones that are on your car (if equipped).

Take the throttle body off before pulling the engine (trust me). You'll break the TPS sensor if you don't, and you'll need a new throttle body if that happens. Pulling it first will save you a lot of trouble.

 

Does he have any RX-7's? Want to make a quick buck? h:

 

Ok Jafro that is what I will do then.

He also has a 90 CRX would that motor be better?

 

No. I wouldn't consider it unless it was DOHC. I don't know when Honda did the OBD-I conversion, but that car might be OBD-0. You'd have to swap over all the sensors, and I think you'd really be much happier with the Z6 in the long run than any SOHC CRX motor.

 

OBD-1 came around in '92 with the 5G body.

The D16A6, 88-91 Si engine, uses the same head as the D15B7 on a standard 1.6L block. It's not worth your time.

 

Sorry for the Z6 fans. I'll stick with my B7 and spankin' all the EX's and CRX here in PR. Next step: JR supercharger... Its nothing better to build a project that everone complains about it...
