alright guys need another question answered.

i am putting a d16z6 from a 96 civic ex into a 93 del sol si. however this engine came with an automatic transmission so im using my transmission from the 92dx hatchback that i just bought. now my question is this will the clutch and transmission from my 92dx bolt up to the 96ex long block? my initial thoughts on this were yes they will however i need to order the clutch because id like to replace it and the guy i was ordering from said the two were different.

are the long blocks that come with auto transmissions different?

or do all d-series motors bolt up to d-series transmissions?

both are hydro so i dont have that problem just the clutch flywheel etc.

i hope this post is clear and people respond tonight as id like to order the clutch tomorrow morning and have this completed by the weekend.

also i hate automatics i liken an auto civic to a hot chick with a penus.

 

I would think that they are all the same and will bolt up im like 95% sure they will but you might wanna wait for one or maybe two more replys.

 

Itll bolt up but youll need to replace the clutch and the ECU.

 

thats what i thuoght so ill order a clutch for the dx transmission and bolt the dx flywheel to the ex long block.

also the auto ecu will work just not that well right?

the fuel curves will be different etc but the car will run withuot a big difference in power?

 

not too sure about the fuel maps but they could be different.
As for the ECU working right well youll end up getting a code but itll run. I was checking out some pinouts the other day from the Hondata site and stumbled across how to convert an Auto ECU to a Manual and its pretty simple. You could save yourself some cash and just bust out the soldering iron.

 

where on hondatas site is this procedure described?

or do you know what has to be done to rechip the ecu?

thankschet.

 

its very easy chett, your dad could do it for you, just compare the two ecu pinouts and fix....,.

 

well i just bought a wrecked del sol, so i have a manual ecu and have del sol seats and have rear disc brakes.

also, i'm going to build my first motor, the mini-me.

hahaha

 

well I already did the auto to 5spd swap in a teg and the engine will map untill you reajust the TB but no biggie or you could just pull the TPS and take out the check light...it the easy way
