Have A 91 Honda Dx (Auto) help

I Just got a car a 1991 Dx and what a ride she is:D well i was wondering some simple things i can do to it. Or send me in the direction of what to do help:frog:

Well I would do suspension and brakes and then work on ditching the automatic if you are interested in doing engine work. If you have cash look into a complete motor and transmission swap to replace that automatic trans.

Around how much would that cost?

Just do what i thought about, swap in a ls integra motor and Auto tranny, should make ya fast and easy to drive...

Depends on which motor combination you choose and if you do the work yourself or have a shop do it. Auto to manual swaps can get pricey depending on what motor you are swapping. You could even just do the auto to manual swap and keep your stock motor. However, the dx motor does not respond well to mods because it uses dual point fuel injection....2 injectors for 4 cylinders. There is a swap called the MPFI swap which upgrades the motor to run 4 fuel injectors. It is a good cheap mod that will allow you to take advantage of other mods more effectively.:)

Where can i find more about this MPFI swap and around how much would it cost......changing a automatic to manual by yourself would that be a hard task?
I planned on getting an intake for it
Sorry for all the questions i am just eager to know about my car

has a link to the info to do a mpfi swap

THat seems to complex and to dangerous

Which is why I have strayed away from doing mpfi, no time either.

If it sounds too dangerous then don't do a motor swap. Because if you want to do a swap most of the motors run mpfi and you are going to have to convert the wiring.:cool: If you want to modify a dx this is really the only way to get any reliable increase in power unless you swap over another sohc motor and still run it with dpfi.

MPFI is not hard to do at all. I am waiting on my ecu so I can do the swap. The hardest part is timing your distributer. There were instructions posted earlier this month about how to do it. I have a full EX engine wiring harness that I am going to use instead of rewiring my old harness.

aye quicksilver, you might just want to buy mdnnccivicrcr's ecu, cause I dont even think my parts car even still has it

Shiat :( . I can't I need an ecu from an automatic.... :rolleyes:

aight, I will try to go out there again tonight, maybe hes home

Thank you very much
