i can buy complete d16z6 engine with stock tranny and ECU. will it fit bolt in in to my civic sedan 4dr with D15B2? which tranny will be better, from d15b2 or from d16z6? will swap complete engine be better than only head? sorry for lame qstns =)

first of all...what car is this going into? 88-91 or 92+?..im thinking 88-91 because you have a b2...so go with the 88-91 civic/crx si tranny...shorter gearing = better acceleration..if you have a 92+ go with the si/ex

88-91 cable 92-? hydroulic

No, the tranny won't work w/o swapping to hydro.The Z6 will but you'll have to add a few wires.

If he has a D15B2 in the States, he's in an 88-91 Civic. He should use the stock transmission, since the hydraulic Z6 transmission won't work properly in his car. The sedan gearing isn't too bad either- the only real difference between the sedan and the Si gearing is the final drive. Sedan = 4.058, and Si = 4.250. It's pretty close.

i am living in europe so i have 92+ sedan with d15b2. i have heard that to swap engines i need to change wiring.. so will changing complete engine be more good than only changing head and ECU?

Switching to the 1.6L will give you a little more torque - and can handle more power if you plan on upping the ante on horsepower later. Also, the Z6/Y8 tranny has the best gear ratios of the 92+ D series transmissions. The Y8 (S40) has better shift forks (steel vs. aluminum in the Z6 (S20))
