Hi,
I am new to this board and am very curious to learn about cars. Mainly Civic's, being that I just got my first car. I was givin a 2-Door 98 Civic HX. I have a couple questions to ask though, being that it had a bad tranny. Instead of having only the transmission replaced, we had an engine swap done as well. Nothing special. I am curious to know what car (make, model, year, etc) this *new* engine came out of. I can't quite recall what kinda engine it was, but I want to say d18 SOHC. I was told a 2000 civic and that it would be faster than what the 98 HX comes with. Can anyone elaborate on this for me? I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

 

Welcome to HAN. :wavey:

If you look at the front of your block where the engine and tranny meet up there is a stamp on the block like D16Z6 or D16Y8... something of the sort.

hih

 

do you mean d16 SOHC? no such thing as a d18.

I am assuming you were given the engine of the 2000 civic EX, the D16Y8. or possibly the 2000 Civic DX, the D16Y7. The Y8 makes more power, about 127 crank, the DX makes like 107 crank (?).

i think the HX's stock motor is about the same as the Y7. Pop your hood, and on the front side of the engine block, left side (right beneath the head) there should be an engine code. Let us know what it is, then we can elaborate more.

edit: damn youre fast WCS.

 

Hey, I appreciate the response. The swap is supposed to be complete today, so I will make those codes available ASAP. This board seems to be quite educational.

 

Hey welcome to HAN, good luck with your car

 

Look at the pic attached. The location is marked with Yellow.

 

I am amazed by the helpfullness. Can't wait to get to my car!!

 

Once you figure it out, here's some specs on the Dseries motors out there.
