complete d16z6......or is it

[95dxd15z6]

ok..i know my decent knowledge of hondas, but this is buggin the shit outa me

i'm lookin to buy this 93 ex and the block reads d16z6......BUT....the valve cover doesn't say vtec nor does anywhere else on the car...i'm sure it's an ex

i haven't really got to take a good look at the car, but i was thinkin that whoever had the car before this kid (i know him personally) changed the head to a a b7, a6 or y7

thats all i can think of.....someone please help me


am i right or is there other possibillities

and i've drove the car...it's not very fast..i used to have a 91 dx and it's not much faster than it..i don't feel any type of power ban like vtec at all

MUCH MUCH THANKS!!!!

Is there a vtec solenoid?

[TAGs95CivicEX]

It could be just a different valvecover.

Is there a vtec solenoid on the back of the head?
will be a sensor on the rear of the head on the passengers side, with usually a green plug in on it, if it's got it, vtec, if it doesn't you gotta find out what the hell is on there.

I think that's right, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

what exactly does that look like...do you have a pic or tell me where it's located and i can find a pic

[Sohc Wrath]

Its located on the left side in back of the valve cover to the right of the distributor...

[corndog939]

the vtec solenoid would be on the rear left of the head on the back side with a green plug on top and a black plug on bottom also vtec wont engage untill the car is completely warmed up, so if when you drove it the engine was cold that is why you did not feel vtec. (not that theres a whole lot to feel on d series)

[95dxd15z6]

well i drove it when it was warm and i've drove a 94 si...same motor and felt the vtec

i didn't feel anything when i drove it...it felt normal

[Sohc Wrath]

Just look for the solenoid next time when you are looking under the hood.

[modsHXcivi]

Did you find a vtec solenoid ????

[gloryhog]

alot of the 93 ex d16z6's came with just an "H" on the middle of the valve cover..

off the top of my head i really can't remember, but i'll look tom. if i can, but thanks for the support peeps... i'll let you all know

[95dxd15z6]

took a good look at it and yep

it's vtec

fuck yeah

this dude is a dumbass

he threw a rod through his oil pan so mwah buys the car for $400

i'm just gonna put a new block in it for about $200



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

this car is clean as hell too

like i said it's a 93' ex and it's got rims and tires came with stockies w/ almost new tires on them and a head unit

it's an auto but i'm doin a 5 speed swap on it

can't wait

[vi0l8ter]

post some pics of your new ride

[95dxd15z6]

i plan on it just as soon as i can

prob tom.

[ryan89crx]

hopefully the head isnt beat to shit from a piston flying around in there...

[Bizzar]

93 ex with rims and blown rod...yeah the head is beat too.

[95dxd15z6]

what are the chances of that happening?

the car rolls rolls without any noise coming from the engine, but when i turn the key i just get a little click like its locking up

[ryan89crx]

chances are pretty good. when the rod it thrown, the piston has the freedom to bounce around like a pinball in there. most of teh time it comes up and bangs the head a bit. no way to tell without pulling it

[95dxd15z6]

but thr rod was thrown down so i don't imagine their would be any head damage

i'll check it out, but i don't thi anynk there should be

[PghSOHC]

replace the motor...Z6 Vtec sux, my car seems to have just as much id range power as top end. But a B series in. Only reason I did a Z6 swap is b/c it was free

[TAGs95CivicEX]

You dumb ass, you're in the wrong forum to start talking about swaps.
The z6 is a great motor, and you can put the same about of money into a D as you would to swap a B and destroy the B in power. If you have endless money and a huge HP goal sure swap a B, but for street cars the D is a great motor and is much cheaper than a B

edit:maybe I shouldn't say that:edit

i don't want a b series
