D17A2 in 89 Si !!

Ok, I just saw this motor at some warehouse and was wondering if it will fit? It was tagged that it was pulled out of an 01 civic(D17A2 vtec) but I dont know which one, but no trans with it. is it a good swap?? If so, what do I need?? And on the same note, there was also a 00 Integra motor(bluetop/non-vtec) there but it has an auto trans. Would this be better and would it work with an 89 si trans??

from what I heard this is not a Bolt in swap... yes it's a d-series but the new I-Vtec ones, the intake manifold is in front of the motor. can it be done... probably... not cost effective though.

I would stick to the B15b, D16Z6 or D16Y8 for SOHC Vtec. cheap, easy swaps.

What about the integra engine?? I think it might be a B18b, would that work and will the si trans bolt on??

integra engine is a b series motor, they make motor mount kits to put it in your civic...but you will need b series tranny, axles shift linkage etc etc etc...

Ive heard tho, that the si tranny could work! iz this true or should I not waste my time trying to match them-up??

Don't waste your time. The d series case will not line up with the b series block. As a general rule of thumb you cannot mix d series and b series parts.:)

the d series motor hes talling about is not a i-vtec.
i had a 2001 civic ex came with that motor.
that car doesnt run on wires it has plasma plugs. dont know much about it really but i would mess with it. its 127 hp better off with the z6 or y8 pretty much the same numbers wise and deff gonna be cheeper.

he's right. the D17's dont have a distributor.

They do sit the same as other d series though, only the K series sits "backwards"

Oh by the way i-vtec is only on hondas k series!Ive also seen a d17a, it looks like the motor mounts are different so i dont think that it work, get a dohc zc, it got a hell of more power and its totally bolt in, and the engine will be much cheaper than a d17

I talked to a honda tech, the D17 might as well be a new series, the only thing they share are bore centers and maybe bore diameters. Everything else appears to be different.
