97 el motor replacing
 

Hi everyone i got a question.
I got a 1997 acura 1.6 el engine d16y8 (96-2000 obd2)and its on its last moments.. So i have a d16z6 (92-95 civics obd1)at home wich is in great condition and am thinking of swaping it in.. Now what would i have to change to make it work properly? Could it be as simple as switching the wiring harness over?

how do u know ur engine is dying...maybe it just needs a tune-up

306 000 km and one cylinder not firging right hmmm i dunno a whild guess lol...

the engine can be swapped in, but it's not legal as far as I know, and it's not as simple as switching the harness over, the plugs are totally different and you'd need a different ECU as well.

these engines are dirt cheap, people just leave them at the shop after a swap, so there should be a good supply of them.
