Im in the market for an EG hatch and i found one with this motor in it but im not too familiar with this model, any opinions on it? I know its no B series but im just curious as to how it compares to the more common motors in that 92-95 time frame.

 

same motor as the d16z6 except its a 1.5 instead of a 1.6. Similar power and all the parts are interchangeable from what I remember. There are a few members on here who run them as a cheap replacement to a blown z6 motor.

 

Isnt that motor out of a civic vx, which gets almost 50mpg's?

 

no

 

the engine your thinking of is a VTEC-e

The e standing for Economy.
