Re: thinking of doing DX to SI swap? please read
THE NEW ENGINE IS IN!!! It was a tight fit with the new headers and I did minor damage to my header wrap, but nothing that couldn't be resprayed with silicon. I did end up having to buy a new oil pan ($202 from Honda...$63 FROM AUTO ZONE!!!). The Dx pan does line up perfectly, but the shape on the underside is slightly yet CRUCIALLY different for my case. There is about 1/2" more clearance for the exhaust with the Si pan and my headers wouldn't line up with the Dx pan on, (which might not be a problem with a factory exhaust, I'm not sure). The oil pick up tubes are identical though, the one from the Dx being in better shape so I used it. All that is left to do is the wiring and I'm going to mount the new fuel pump on the firewall, which should be happening this Sunday. My biggest fear is having the nicest "paperweight" in SC...let's hope it runs...
