OK, which engine are we talking about?

The '86-'89 1.6L DOHC D16A1-ZC Integra motors are fuel injected. JDM engine importers will not import '85-'87 Civic/CRX SI motors (also D16A1-ZC) because most people won't understand why the motor they're getting won't directly bolt into their car. The only way to get a 1.6L DOHC JDM motor is to get one from an '86-'87/'88-'89 Integra, but you will also need to swap the trans, knuckles, CV shafts, etc, from an '86-'89 Integra.

If you have a 1.5L motor (FI or carbed) your intake manifold WILL NOT fit on the 1.6L DOHC motor! The only way to run carbs on a 1.6L DOHC D16A1 motor (JDM or USDM) is to construct your own intake manifold.

The only way to get a JDM motor that will swap in and be compatable with your intake manifold without any additional parts will be to get an '84-'87 1.5L EW/D15 Civic/CRX motor. This motor is mechanically the same as the USDM version and will be a SOHC motor just like yours.

In a nut shell...
Yes the DOHC 1.6L D16A1 is an SI/Integra motor. No, they are not carbed.


Also, if you are looking for a D16A1-ZC motor, keep looking. My local JDM engine importer is asking $800 for an '86-'87 Integra motor without the trans or $1,200 with. The trannys are the same as the USDM trannys which are pretty common in junk yards for under $100. If you plan to swap in a 1.6L DOHC D16A1 you will be making a trip to the junk yard anyway to search for the additional parts needed.
