D16A8 if its an Aussie delivered CRX, ZC if its a JDM crx or swapped from a JDM crx.

[j3z3z]

that is a d16a not a b16a! the owner is trying to rip your mate off

[SINISTR]

yup - definatelly not a Vtec - no 'Vtec' embossing on the Valve cover either!

[Mooro]

Yep I've already had this discussion with the owner. First he says its a B16A, then I told him it was D16A8 non vtec, then he inisisted it was vtec cos it had been "built into "vtec, finally he said that a few version of the d16A8 came out as vtec and showed a picture of I think the distributor that if you used your imagination looks like it has something like vtec stamped on it.

It all sounds a bit dodgey. I don't think it is that overly priced but he might have more luck selling it if he gets his facts straight first.

[SINISTR]

Is this car in Perth Simon???

[nedgeworth]

no d16a8 or ZC came out with vtec.

[ProECU]

look for a vtec solenoid.

hey man dont you mean She? cause like the owner is a she?

[VT3C]

RUN AWAY !! looks riced-out with gold paint on everything etc.. i wouldnt touch it.. especially if the seller's attitude is like that.. RUN RUN !!

no point looking for a VTEC solenoid, cause there was NEVER any VTEC implementation to the 'ZC'.. closest you can get is the D16Y1 SOHC VTEC.

[sivic]

yeah, if they're trying to tell you its VTEC who knows what else they are keeping from you. i'd give it a miss.

[SINISTR]

Depends - have RAC perform an inspection on the car - if it passes without any major engine problems you should be ok. Ive gone to inspect what was advertised as a B16A for $800 and it turned out to be a D16A8 - the guy insisted it was a Bseries as someone told him but after a quick talk he changed his mind - simply being told the wrong thing in the first place he was certain he was correct.

Buy the car for the CAR - do your own inspection, use your knowledge - what we've told you here is correct to the picture supplied. Given that - you can probably get the price dropped a bit because its not a VTEC.

let us know how your mate is going with the purchase.

[tRipitaka]

although i'm 10000000000000% sure that ain't b16a..

just show the owner the engine code on the block ?

and possibly on registration too ?

[phantom_civic]

yeh the block should either say
d16A8 or b16a along with a few numbers.

[SINISTR]

if THAT pic is THE pic of the engine bay - THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD that engine is a VTEC... lets get real here! there is NO 'maybe'.

[j3z3z]

in my thread on my car "my sir" in appearences you can see how much room a small vtec motor takes up in a crx! SHE is bullshitting

[i_own_you]

[sivic]

i take it the whole email was intended to be yelled? ;)

[Mooro]

Nah I don't thinks so...I just saw it on boostcruising.

[j3z3z]

I got the reply lol (well dickhead it is a b16a engine thats none of ur bussiness and obviously the engine number is not correct as if u would post ur real engine number so **** on that u pathetic loser ) wouldnt trust her with a 5 cent coin

[sivic]

the only 2 explanations i can come up with are:
1. a B16 swap has been done after these pics were taken.
2. the person selling this is a complete donkey pole smoker

[Mr. Focus]

this is for sle on another site and i had an argument with the chick over her saying it was VTEC. apparently her BF and mechanic told her it was. I'd check it out, but be wary of buying it

[nedgeworth]

i'll give her 800 just so i can take that motor :P

[tRipitaka]

i emailed this to vita i wonder if her tone on the motor will now change

why would you say that ?

[i_own_you]

bwhaaahaa.

i guess somebody brainwashed them

[j3z3z]

why would you say that ?

just to screw with her see if she would change her tone. i dont think she has any idea as to what motor she packing

[Mr. Focus]

indeed she doesnt! a chick i know bought a CRX thinking the engine was a b16....boy did she get upset when i told her it wasnt. she paid extra coz the dealership told her it was!!
