Plus the integra was totaled and it was a friends so we pulled the motor. Who said i was in a sport i have a CRX witha mini-me setup which was done before i got it and now it has a cracked piston or rod. i also found out that i can use the Y8 head on it but im not goin to do that im goin to keep it a DOHC.

It won't be a direct fit. I don't know what your "friends" are smoking...but a D16A1 has NEVER been a direct fit. The mounts will NOT line up. The lower alternator bracket is going to sit on the axle. There's no way around that. The motor will never work man, and the head will NOT just bolt right on. I'm trying to save you ALOT of work. But, you'll find out when you go to put that head ont he D16a1 and see how GREAT it lines up.
Honestly, I'm thinking that they are thinking that you are talking about a Dohc ZC motor, which is NOT the same as a D16a1.
Even if you want to keep it dohc...it won't bolt up.
Besides, that motor has so little power it's not even funny. It feels like a sohc non vtec motor. Even if SOMEHOW you could get the motor to fit in there, it will be slower than your old motor.
You'll see though. Please post pics when you "get it in" the car. Chances are....we're probably never goin to see pics, because you won't get it into the car.
I am not just speaking out of my arse either...this is directly from first hand experience.

Good luck man.
