the engine is a d16a8 DOHC non-vtec.
The price for a NEW dizzy , is from $800 - 1200 for a aftermarket or OEM one.
Rebuilding a old dizzy , costs about the $300 mark ( replace igniter , coil + rebuild main bearing).What is your location , as we can guide you in the right direction.
Try to rebuild it first - this is a common problem with our Si - and rebuilding fixes it :) ( been there with my 2 Si's !)
Best of luck.
I am in melb, wheelers hill.
thanks for the advice
yep very comon d16a8 problem
Whats up with yours? my one on my Si is throwing a fault code for the CYP and CKP.
ill just be crusing at 2 1/2 grand and all of a sudden it will drop to jsut below 2 grand and i would have to plant my foot to the floor to get it back up again. i took it to the mechanics and they told me it was because of the distributor
Where is recommended in sydney to have a dissy rebuilt?
Ive just come in for pulling the head on my mrs' 88 civic to replace the head gasket. An ordeal in itself (damn shitbox hondas :rolleyes: )
Its been pinging its ring off for quite a while now & has started using coolant & spraying me with it when trying to fill it.
Anyway, I popped the dissy cap off & its almost completely full of oil...a major mess.
There is a fair whack of play, maybe 10-15 degrees in the shaft & some metal part inside under the rotor is loose as buggery. Also found a ball bearing in there & a piece of wire looks sorta like it was once a clip maybe.
Id figured id come here & lok for a 2nd hand dissy, got a rude shock when i see some prices gettin thrown around.
So if anyones got 1 let me know otherwise where to take it for someone to look at it?
Cheers.
If your in Sydney try these guys out, they seem to have stock these newly built dizzy's
If your from Melbourne give them a call and see what prices they offer

OMG, dizzys here are so expensive compared to overseas. AU$100 for a rebuilt one and $300 for a new one.
