A friend of mine has offered me a d16z6, turbo kit with CRX si tranny,chipped ecu(p28 i think) and all that for let's say- cheap. Now does that thing have enough torque to move my baby fast enough to be considered fast? I was told the engine could lay down 250hp with a safe 10pounds of boost. What do you guys think of that swap and those numbers?

That's blasphemy. The d16 doesn't even produce enought TORQUE to get your car rolling. Sorry to burst your bubble. This has been discussed many times. Stick with an H or F series motor if you want to go anywhere at all.Always remember that only you can make your dreams a reality.

Even if it did put out more torque than a stock F22a motor, just fabricating mounts would be a complete pain in the ass since there isn't any custom mounts available for this sort of swap (D series in CB chassis) I'm pretty sure there are other issues other than just the mounts but nonetheless don't do it unless u want to be different and have the time and $ to attempt something like it.
The weakest motor you can put into our CB7 that still has enough power to lug it around is a J-spec sohc F18a motor. This is a 1.8 liter F-series that had about 115hp.
The D16z6 really is a good motor just like a F22 and has lots of potential but lots of people throw them away for DOHC setups. It would be a sick motor to put into a EF -> EK chassis civic, but it would be a waste to drop into a heavy set accord.
I need a custom turbo manifold built....

Can it produce enough torque? I know stock it's crap but any potential?Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.Comment

Also, would torque build up as fast as hp?Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.Comment

Torque and horsepower would be somewhat identical if you build the engine up enough. The hardest part would be to fabricate the mounts, which would be a pain in the wallet. Not saying you couldn't do it, just that it isn't practical to do. As said many times over, with enough money, you can do almost anything to a car.Always remember that only you can make your dreams a reality.

You guys think the motor would do well in a 3rd gen? I know they weigh way less than a 4th genHorsepower sells cars, torque wins races.Comment

I believe that it would be more practical in a third gen, yes. I believe that this swap has been done in the 3rd gen, but I'm not 100% sure.Always remember that only you can make your dreams a reality.

I think these weight numbers are closer to civic's weight anyway. Oh and off topic but is the gearing the same for the 3rd gen 5 speeds as they are for the 4th gen?Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.Comment

Guys dont give me that TO LOW TORQUE bullshit... D16's are verry capable of getting an accord moving, there are plenty european accords running with a D16

And those newer ones are even heavier than those light cb7's
The only difficult thing would be mounts and axles

Imho its not worth the trouble. My 96 civic weighs 2420 lbs...oh yeah its a 4dr. The hp & tq from a z6 is prolly 127 hp & 1XXtq cant remember the tq. A H23 puts out 160 hp & 148 tq. A F22/F23 (sohc) still puts out more hp & tq than a z6. The H/F series puts out the highest tq's over D & B series engines.
So why spend $$$ on a z6? I'm assuming u have a 91 ex so that means you weigh in about 2888 lbs. Yeah some ppl do it, but is it really worth it? So if u have $$$ to burn then go ahead an tell me how it feels. I'm interested to know the out come.Last edited by Ant; 09-08-2006, 11:33 AM.Vouches: Bruno8747, 1badwag, Excalibur02, Bliz07, Slick, Gloryaccordy, H23CB7.Comment

I'm not saying it wont work. But is it worth the trouble??No. Prolly for the amount of $$$ that is spend doing that could've just swapped in a H22.Originally posted by DutchaccordVouches: Bruno8747, 1badwag, Excalibur02, Bliz07, Slick, Gloryaccordy, H23CB7.Comment
