Guys, Sounds like you live in the sticks, at least the area is pretty devoid of Honda shops, so the next step is to check with one of the importers like www.nippon-motors.com to price one out. Once you add in shipping (about $180) it starts to add up. At least you will see from the price list all the engines, codes, cars that had them, years, etc.
Where are you all located? Perhaps we can get other list members to pipe in if they know of more local resources? George '89 DX-Hybrid-D16Z6, 121k miles "Seats, Suspension, Engine, MSD, next=dyno" -----Original Message----- From: Mark Humphreys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 4:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CRX: Smoking exhaust--one more question please George, maybe you can clarify something for me: I know that the CRX Si came with a D16A6, and the next generation civic Si (the one that came with the hatch) got the D16Z6? With 12? Hp?? And then the Next generation got the D16Y8? And later on with that body style, they got the B16? Sorry to ask a confusing question, but I'm not too familiar with the newer civic's engine codes. Also, it's a bit unfortunate, but there aren't any engine swap shoppes around here that I know of. We have one tuner store called turbofour, and they have a guy who does SR20DET swaps all day long, but that's about it.
