Okay, next weekend im am picking up my motor, its a d16y8 outta a del sol SI. He has a 99 civic EX trans bolted up to it, what ever ECU that has stock, and axels, its going into a 94 civic sedan. It was 350$ from a friend of a friend, so im not ganna pass it up. Eather way, I know im ganna need a knock sensor cuase the current 1 is shot, um. Pritty much what i need to know are some details. As is wiring it, what problems might i have, will EVERYTHING, AC PS all that stuff going to bolt up 100%. currently im going to be using the stock ECU from my car now, once i find 1, will put in a p28, and once that happens wire vtec. I have pleanty of tools and a place to do the swap, and 1 kid that has done maybe 1 or 2 before to help, along with 2 others that have never done a swap before. I know im sorta rambeling, just trying to do all the research i can before i have to dive into this project

 

The D16y8 comes out of a 6th Gen. EX (SOHC VTEC). It will bolt up fine with your 94 Ferio. You should have no problems with the AC and PS seeing as it does come out of a civic into a civic. As for the wiring it should be good.

 

cool project motor to start with.

Anyway sounds like you got all the bases covered, reminds me of me a year ago

 

what year del sol did this come out of? because you mite have obd issues if it is an obd2 d16y8 motor.

 

Thats is going to be the hard part, it is an OBD2 motor,im alost 100%, its a 96 del sol, and since my car is OBD1, going to be some issues there. My current motor is partable, so i can use any OBD1 parts outta that, but im not sure which 1s they might be, i know im ganna need to use my knock sensor outta it, (if it will fit) becuase current one is shot. From what i hear around the Dizzy too. If you fellas can think of anothing ealts that might need replacing, fire away.

 

dizzy, injectors, ecu

 

The motor won't run right without what b16aEGcivic came back from teh banned to tell you about.

 

Just cought what you said, its not a ferio, its a USDM 94 4dr civic sedan LX, not sure if that affects anything anyone just said about something

 

Ferio is just what all the JDM junkies call four door civics.

 

Alternator plug is different too.

OBD1 ecus don't care about the knock sensor, so don't worry. Also, don't wory about the CKF plug coming out of the oil pump, OBD1 ecu, again doesn't care.
