engine swap (need info bad)

[dk91hb]

i have a 91 civic hatchback with the d15b1 engine and i have a 88 or 89 5 speed crx tranny and i just got an 88 acura integra ls for 75 buck the body is shot i want the engine and computer now the integra has the d16a1 dohc engine in it now the question is can i put the engine in to my car without changing trannys and what else do i have to do?????

d16a1 will bolt up to your tranny....not to sure if the 88 teg clutch splines will match up to the tranny. theres some wiring mods that you will have to do as well as swapping driver side motor mounts. IMO i would use the teg tranny as well as the front knuckles n axles.

here is the problem i have a stick and the ls is auto what do i do????

[lilol89crx]

use the b1 flywheel and clutch....you are going to have to do the mpfi swap also.

as far as i know, the d16a1 out of a first gen integra doesnt bolt into our cars. and that it was take some fabrication to fit it in. like moving where it mounts to the car. good luck.

i have the flywheel and clutch from an 88 or 89 crx mpfi on my engine now will that help any??? solid mount the car???

86-89 Integra engines have the same mounts as the 84-87 Civic, not the 88-91 so it won't bolt in. Making custom mounts is sort of a waste of time because you might as well get a DOHC ZC engine instead since they're more powerful.

ok then what about a d15z engine it is out of a vx civic???

odd... buddy of mine put a a1 into his 4g.....from what he said it wasnt a problem

[dk91hb]

i need to know what he did excatly so i can do it

Personnally i wouldnt bother with that engine. Its the american version of the dohc zc. Not too much for power and it would take to much to get it.

will the intake manifold work on my engine?? if i get the ecm and ecu plus wiring

[travagliante]

ecm=electronic control module
ecu= electronic control unit
SAME THING

The best intake manifold would prolly be the one already on the engine. Otherwise i dont know which engine that you decided on.

i have a d15b1 block with a d15z1 head on it and i want to put a d16a1 intake manifold with wiring and ecu
