My 90 Civic DX

I have a 90 civic hatchback i got for 500 bucks because the stock 1.5 overheated. So i put a 86 integra motor in it(1.6 DOHC)
my list of mods so far are:

Exhaust, intake, and rims, I also plan to put these mods in it:

body kit, lowering springs, projector headlights, euro tailights, Z3 Fenders, carbon fiber hood, and roof scoop.
I plan to do some motor work also like headwork, header, cams etc..

I am also looking for an si transmission so if anyone has one for sale please let me know.

HI Welcome to the boards hope you have fun here is your roof scoop going to be functiol? or just for show?

It will probably be just for show unless i decide to make it functional.

Welcome to The Fourm. Sounds like you have alot of good plans.

sounds great, only one question. what did you do about the mounts? on 1st gen integras they are totally different than on the 88-91 civic/crx chassis. did you have to get a mount kit or something or did you just custom fabricate one?

I live in Mississippi and here civic cx's and 88-91 civic si's are very rare, i have only seen one si and no cx's, mainly dx's like mine but a lot of them are in bad shape, mine looks brand new except a few little scratches on it.

:iagree: making a roof scoop work can be a real pain still cool though

I heard they are a pain to make functional, but the worst thing i have gone through on my car was when a friend of mine was going to sell me his lowering springs off of his 96 ex and we put one of them on and it didn't lower it at all, and it took forever to do because we had the old school spring compressors where you had to turn it each time with a wrench, it sucked, and he was goin to let me have the springs for 50 dollars too.

bummer i had a spring shoot free once back at my old job shit was not cool at all put a hole in the roof lol

welcome to the forum m8 :wave:

Hi there - welcome to the forums :cool:

welcome to the boards man, get some pics up of your car sounds real nice.

we like pics here.

Im not trying to be rude, but i would still like to know how you put the 86-89 integra engine in your 88-91 civic...

:dunno: :werd: :feedback: :iamwithst

Me too...!! 1st gen Integra motors generally don't just bolt in..that must have been a lot of work

and welcome :wave:

We need pictures, everyone here will be more friendly to pictures if you talk about your engine or car. Just a helpful hint.

Oh yeah, Welcome to AF.

Well to put that 1st gen motor into my car i used my dx transmission and i had to make a drivers side motor mount because they don't make one. It was a little bit of a pain to put it in but i had the motor and i needed one at the time so i put that in. I am trying to find an si tranny if anyone has one. I am tying to get pictures put up but i have to get a digital camera because mine screwed up.

is it the D16A1 motor?

Yeah, its the D16A1.

Yeah...the mount must have been an issue...but it's cool you fabricated something to make it work :iceslolan

There is a sticky thread about classifieds...you might find an Si tranny in there..also you may wanna check out ebay or the parts trader.
