What will work

[oocus]

i have eg d15z1 vei, engine(head was done 20km before) not going anymore.
bought ek d16y4 with the idea of changing drivelines(maybe computer).
my first honda so i have learnt the hard way.
to put the d16y4 into the vei eg is proving a massive headache.

what engine could i get to make my life easy?
tried looking for replacment d15z1,but had no luck that is why i bought ek.

has anyone got ideas, or maybe d15z1?
does anyone need ek parts?
does anyone want to swap?

Whats your budget bro

[oocus]

as little as possible, already outlayed for an ek thats no use to me. if i can trade/swap or sell parts from ek that is my budget. dont know anyone looking for d16y4 with 5 speed only 144xxxkm.

im pretty sure you will need a obd1 to obd2 conversion harness
and going from vtec to non vtec so need the computer from the d16y4.
theres not too much involved but should of gotten a d16y1 or a d16a8.

[oocus]

yes i know that now, this is my first honda, normally work on clevos. d16y4 is not obd1 or obd2 that is the biggest problem.

[will13]

D16y4 is obd2 isnt it?

[integragsi96]

yehh from what ive read the d16y4 is obd2...and the d15z1 is obd1.
will here knows more about d series then me so im out

[bennjamin]

d16y4 is obd2 yes

to put it into a eg - the general thing is this. You will need d15b7 or d16y1 parts.....inlet manifold , throttle body , water pump-to-thermo housing pipe + lines , ICAV FITV , distributor etc etc. And ofcourse all the usual OBD1 wiring loom etc.
Ive done it on 2 cars - imo no real point unless u get the d16y4 motor for cheap and have a blown d15b7 or d16y1 qnd can use the bits !

[oocus]

if it is obd2 why are the connectors different? i have a vei(vtec-e) eg that it is going in,this is obd1 right? all the parts you mention, why can i not take them from my d15z1. sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is my first honda(starting not to like) and i need it going. whats cheapest and easiest? ecu with d16y4 is p2k. with d15z1 ecu p07

[oocus]

if it was obd2 could i use an adapter harness? dont know if they even make them,

[TheSaint]

the cheapest and easiest engine to put in the car would be a D15b7 out of an EG Gli

bennjamin may be able to help you do the conversion though

the reason u cant use the VEi parts is because they are different to the y4/b7 - and the D16y4 is a strange sub-version of OBD2

what a headache - cant wait to see this complete lol

[oocus]

so inlet manifold from z1 will not fit y4? how much for b7, do i need ecu, etc with that as well? are all the connectors the same?
