Easy D series question...
My friend has a 93 DX auto. He needs motor work. Will the Si's D16 bolt up to his auto, or was the D16 ever offered with an auto tranny in the 5th gens?
Bottome line: his motor needs major work. We figure that if he needs to drop some coin into it, he might as well uprade to a D16 if at all possible. He would go with a B series swap if his budget would permit, but it doesn't. So, he wants to upgrade with $1000 max budget. If the auto D16 isn't an option, perhaps rebuild his stock D15?
Any info/suggestions would be great. Thanks.

I don't know about that. But if he can find a d16 with the tranny attached to the engine it will bolt up to the rest of the car just fine and it'll be a quicker job.

wow...
You can use any d16z6. it's the same setup from the del sol Si auto and the civic ex auto.
When you pull the motor, swap the torque plate (replaces the flywheel of the manual trany setup) to the new motor and have at it. It's not a tough swap. the only thing you will have to do is add two wires for vtec.
