ya i just dropped a d16z6 zc in my civic, tuned it took it out for a spin dropped it in second. it hit so hard my buddy thought the engine was gonna fall out
Haha glad to hear you got it working so well. Are you running the Si tranny with it? The D16Z6 and Si tranny is a great combo, you’ll notice a big difference if your swapping this into a DX or CX that had a d15b7 and a DX/CX tranny.
