can you swap an 94 D16Z6 into an 88 civic

[jims88civicdx]

Just wondering if I would be able to swap an engine from an 94 civic si (D16Z6 engine) into my 88 civic DX which currently has a D15B2 engine.. what would be involved.. can i keep my current transmission(cable clutch setup) and bolt it on or do i have to go with the hydraulic one from the 94 setup.. would the motor mounts line up up or would i need to fabricate something up? as for wiring, would i be able to keep my old wiring and add some additional wiring.. or would i need to replace it all? Whats all involved?

 

has anyone done this?

if you have done this, can you list what i need to make the swap?

any other ideas?

and is the D16Z6 a VTEC engine?

any input would be great

 

Thanks,

Jim

yes its been done but you will need a odb conversion and possibly mounts,,,buy a d16y8 as it would be a much easier swap

 

theres other posts on this if you do a search

 

and yes the d16z6 is vtec

and yes the d16y8 is vtec

 

imo go with the y8 as its the same gen as your car,,thats just my input
