need to know what engine is in my car??

[brisian]

ok, i got a 89 civic hatch and the guy said he swapped the motor for a 1.6L integra motor. i have been looking all over and the only engines i have seen in integras are 1.7 or 1.8l. is there a way to tell exactly what motor is in the car as it needs a clutch and i want to install a turbo, and other performance mods. i am new to civics as my last car was a 2000 sunfire gt- check it out.. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/524134

Thanks, Ian

should be stamped right on the block

Open your hood
look at the very left of your valve cover
now look straight down from there and on your block there will be a letter followed by 2 numbers and an other letter and maybe some stuff after that

Get this code and post it and we can tell you what motor you have

Im guessing a d15b d16:thumbsup:

There is no SOHC Integra motor.

Maybe he dropped a SOHC ZC in there.

thanks..the car's not at my house so i'll post up in a couple days when i get a chance to check it..and now that i think of it he might have said dohc...not sure.

a guy on another forum knew the guy and knew the car...he said it's a DOHC ZC motor...is this good? also...what do i tell a dealer when i am looking for a clutch when he asks what kind of car or engine?

it uses a d16 (88-91 civic/crx) clutch, but you need to know what year tranny and what year flywheel you have. :)

how hard is it to do a turbo setup on a dohc zc? will a d16 kit work with it? also are there any good upgrades for the engine that are worth the money?

[vegas2005baby]

yes, a d16a6 kit will work for it, just need to port match the exhaust manifold

perfect. thanks guys
