I have a 92 Civic DX and I have D16z6 for it. It came with the car when i got it. Anyway I was wondering if this engine has much potencial. I would like a fast engine but i don't need it crazy fast although thats not a bad thing. The site I found with what seems to be good info said that the d16z6 has 125hp@6600 my current engine has only 102hp@5900 so thats a pretty good jump. Anyway I am babling what do you think is it worth saving for a diffrent engine or put mods in what have(the D16z6 that is)?

 

Well I'm going to work with the d16z6 I have. But that's cuz I'm a lazy guy. There are a few parts for this engine out there, but not as much as there are for the B-series engines.

 

Well if i could get enough power to do a smoke show i would be happy... haha i love those...

 

youll like that engine, especially if you get the 5-speed trans for it. even if yours is a manual, consider putting in the trans from a sohc vtec as well.

 

I'm actually thinking of getting a tranny from a dx. I like taller gears. Or if I may be could get custom gearing...daydreaming:-D

 

you like tall gears? you know its a lot slower, right?

 

Yea, I know. But I just hate that short first. I love all the others, but that first kills all the fun. I hate shifting at 20mph.

 

yeah i got a tranny for the D16z6 too it's was pulled from a Del Sol. it has every thing on it still... i even have the CV joins and well every thing plan on pretty much taken the onl one out and put all the new one in...

 

what would u say would be a good engine mods to start with? Cold air i was thinking seems like a good enough start... what else would e worth doin to it?

 

if its an option, the best thing you could do, is to build the motor before it ever goes in.
