honda guys, get in here. need d16 motor help.
ok so im pretty sure that i spun a rod bearing or two. (pulling the motor out tonight). and im either just going to rebuild that motor (d16y8) or get a somewhat new complete motor and rebuild my present motor as a spare.
so onto my question, can i put a d16zc sohc vtec in my civic (1998) without swapping the ecu or any other parts? because i know that on a d16z6 it doesnt have a knock sensor and crank sensor, like the y8 does.
help me!!!
heres the motor im looking at:

Z6 does have a crank sensor. I'd doesn't have a crank fluctuation sensor, which is a completely different thing. Both engines have the crank sensor in the distributor. You should be able to drop in a Z6 with minimal work and you can use an OBD1 P28 and an OBD2-OBD1 adapter harness.

thanks for all the help guys. but i might be scooping up a dohc zc motor. full swap. only $300 from a good friend. what are yalls opinions on the zc? and it has more hp than the y8, but less torque. which OVERALL do you think is a better motor?
