Default can't figure out engine code

I have a 96 Civic Vti in Pakistan. Its a 4 door sedan RHD 5-speed and the engine is D16Y6, but the U.S. vendors are not aware of this code. I want to buy headers, intake, exhaust, cams, pistons, etc. for my car so what is the identical motor in the U.S. I don't wan't to get the wrong parts, as returning items overseas is a b*tch

there's no real identicle motor. But anything that's a bolt on aprt will work from any other D engine of the same year. With internals, like cams, etc, not sure what you'll want to go with. But like he said, is it vtec or not? that should help you pic the parts you need.

we have one head, not two. If you want aftermarket parts, then buy them for the D16Y8.
