searching...
 

Well I couldn't communicate with the e-bay seller that had the wiring harness and ecu, but I couldn't get in contact with him. I dont know if I should continue on e-bay or go to honda-tech. I dont really know what the parts should be worth so that is making it a little difficult. What should a d16y5 cylinder head be worth anyway?

Re: searching...
 

I can relate to you my experience with a d15z1 cylinder head. I originally purchased one for $60 on ebay. I sold it again a few months later for $35.

The gas mileage engine parts don't have a very high demand, so you might want to lurk on honda-tech and post a few WTB ads. You can probably get it for around $50.

I think you can find an ECU for around $30-40. Once again, the low demand forces the price way down.

Alright, Do you think I
 

Alright, Do you think I should stick with buying a new 5 wire O2 sensor? I think that would be the best even though that will be a pretty penny.

Re: Alright, Do you think I
 

If I were you i'd try to see if someone parting out the HX engine, etc. will also part with their five wire o2 sensor for cheap. I managed to find one for $25 on honda-tech a while back. It's not as good as a new one, but it was a LOT cheaper.

I say to get it running first, and then worry about the little stuff.

once you have the stock
 

once you have the stock connector for the o2 sensor i believe you can buy the ntk wideband replacement sensors from any source and just change over the pins...should be the L1H1 sensor available from any wideband/tuning distributor...

I've found it's worth
 

I've found it's worth checking www.car-parts.com when looking for parts, they are sometimes a bit more then Ebay, but also tend to be local so you save on shipping.

One of the links matt posted about the vx head is selling a 5 wire o2 sensor.

I would not put a universal bosch type on a honda.

Where is that link at? I mise well start looking for parts. I want this swap finished by June 15th. (I should have 150k miles on the civic by then...

No, I was just saying, because you can find the bosch ones for like 40 bucks and it's very tempting.

OEM
 

I'll stick with OEM to keep it as least complicated as possible.

where are you finding these
 

where are you finding these cheap 5 wire o2 sensors? the cheapest I've found was $309 with tax.

Re: where are you finding these

Holy shit, what a deal.
 

Holy ****, what a deal.

Re: Holy shit, what a deal.
 

I contacted the seller and he thinks there are 110,000 miles on this o2 sensor. It's not brand new, but it's better than nothing :)

Re: Quote:did i say bosch
 

I know a guy who tunes with a Bosch wide band sensor and a PLX...it works just fine and dandy!

But for my VX, I only used the NTK L1H1. I actually sold that thing with over 200K miles for over $100.

Tuning with the bosch is
 

Tuning with the bosch is fine, but something about them in hondas for the long term seems to make them crap out.

o2
 

He is parting out that entire civic....so there might be a few more parts to get a hold of...I guess i will start getting parts for it.

bosch does in fact
 

bosch does in fact redistribute the honda/ntk L1H1 sensor...
i believe dealer cost is $175...and they markup from there...

e-bay 02 sensor
 

purchased. Step 1 complete.

ebay o2 sensor
 

I asked him if he had any other parts for the HX and he had sold the HX motor last week. - I wonder why he couldn't sell the 5 wire o2 sensor to the same person...I have it though. ---The search for parts continues.

H-T Member w/parts!!
 

I recieved this message today from an H-T member...now we need to start talking price.

"The mani is complete with trottle body, injectors, fuel rail, all sensors etc (egr)...Just unbolted it and its in my room now. The ecu is just sitting there too."

He sent me a picture, and it looks pretty decent.

Re: junkyard
 

Good luck!

I'm going to go to mine as well. I need to make some money!

I saw saturns
 

Quite a few saturns. Anybody need parts for them?

Re: I saw saturns
 

I might need some Saturn parts sometime. Actually, my hood has a little damage from my accident last winter. Since it still opens and latches ok I'll probably leave it alone unless I get a really good deal.

okay
 

I will be in Evansville, Indiana (southern Indiana) for about 2 more weeks. I will gladly go to the junkyard for anyone.

trip
 

I am going back home (a trip of 900 miles) wish me great gas mileage and easy driving.

Re: trip
 

May you have warm air, light traffic, and mostly downhill travels!

I found a head online. If I really want to do this, the time is now. I dont see any problems what-so-ever.

After a long hard summer of working I now have the money to invest in some projects. This summer I basically worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week, and 7-8 hours on sunday. It meant I had no time to myself but sleep for a solid 2 months. I can't wait to get started!

i might have to take the plunge on that item
 

3 hours left....

Damn meng, I had a lead on one for 50 shipped about 2 months ago, :(

i donno
 

he stripped a couple parts off of it....i dont think it is worth it...

You can get one for teh cheap, I'm sure of it.

I was just going to say that it's missing part of the vtec solenoid. I say no.

i looked
 

I looked at the sellers other listings, and it was for the vtec solenoid
