Are you getting an SI motor or just a 1.5?
You can get both motors from a JDM importer. The JDM SI cars came with a DOHC 1.6L D16A1-ZC while the other models used the same 1.5L motor that we've got over here. A friend of mine got a JDM motor for his '84 CRX (for about $400) and it was exactly like the carbed motor he was replacing it with. As I remember, when we installed it some of the vacuum lines were different so we ended up using his old intake manifold and vacuum box. We just pulled the intake off of the old motor and set it on top of the fire wall with the vacuum lines still attached, then bropped the new motor in. Part of the reason for this approach is that before this swap, we had swapped a JDM motor into an his '86 Accord. Even though we labeled all of the vacuum lines before we disconnected them, we still ran into a huge headache trying to figure out where all of those little buggers were supposed to be attached.
