I'm replacing the mini me(z6 head, y8 block) swap in my 95 civic ex, it spun a bearing last year and has been sitting in my garage. I'm looking into purchasing an newer z6 from J-spec auto or Tiger Japanese. This will be my first engine swap, will the replacement engine from J-spec/tiger go right in without any modifications and fit to the y8 tranny? Or, will I have to exchange and modify certain parts because one is JDM and the other is USDM?

I've contacted both places about this but I figured I'd also post it here to see what you all have to say. Also, are theses two places reputable?

None of that is JDM, the Z6 came in the EX. Z6 will bolt to the Y8 tranny, and everything should be exactly the same.

Only effort he should put into a D series is pulling it out........

YOU SHOULD BUY A B SERIES

I had a GSR in it, it was fun but I'd rather have good fuel economy. I have no big plans besides making it a DD cause I'm planning on buying an Evo.

From the product description on their site, it is a JDM engine. They have it listed as a d16z6(ZC) and after reading around online the ZC is a JDM engine. I've read that they are the pretty much same engines, my main question is will have to exchange any parts from my current engine, ie; distributor, IM..etc or will I be able to just drop on the new motor and drive it. I'm traveling all the way to New Orleans to get my car and driving back so I didn't want any surprise once I had a new engine in it.

I think it would be cheaper to just buy a new car where you live....

NasTHatch said it best bro... Go b-series. that D is junk and I know if you do that swap you are not going to replace the parts in the block so you are gonna kill something down the road. Go b-18
