look at the second post in there ifs for all the new people they hav lots of stuff there you might wanna read

what about the D17A1

I dont know if the D17 would fit. Thats a weird one... why would you want to use that in a your 89? You would have to screw around with OBD conversions and shit just to get an engine with very limited aftermarket parts. D16a6 would be the easiest, next would be d16z6 or d15b7.

isnt the d17 tne 7th gen dx engine?? why why why? is my question...that's just a waste of time and money...

yes it is the 7th gen engine. I would also like to know why

the d17 is in all the 7th gen civic models.i think thats the sohc vtec one tho.not to sure.

d17 would be a very hard swap I imagine, since I believe it spins the other way....and the tranny is on the other side (I think so).....

nope.your thinking bout those k series engines.they sit the same as the other d's engines.i bet it would be hard.your better of with the y8.

your right, I was thinking K series, makes me wonder, do the new D17s bolt up to d series trannys?? and do the mounts line up like all other D series??
