D16 Or B16

[CRX-Crooks]

Hey I was thinking of getting a engine swap. I wanted to get a b16 but i want a d16. I drive a 1990 honda crx dx. How much would it be for a d16 swap into my car? Parts, engine, Trannny, labor, coversions etc. Please post any help is usfull

why do you want the d16 instead of the b? i thought about switching from my d16 to a b-series but it's cheaper just to get another D, build up the internals, and turbo it later. Sure, not as much hp, but still a fun daily driver.

on risingsunengines.com a d16a6, here's the email i got from them:

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, we have a used *tested* engine in stock for your application. Your cost is $595.00 with no exchange required, plus approximately $140.00 freight.

We also have clutches in stock for your application. A three piece clutch kit is only $120.00. Note that our clutches are new, not rebuilt.

It's a very good idea to replace the timing belt before you install the engine. If you have ever experienced a timing belt failure, then you know what we mean. We can also install a new timing belt in the engine before shipment if you like. Your cost is only $49. for both the belt and the labor.

If the motor is shipped outside CA, there is no sales tax.

I want to be a daily driver car that is dependable.

labor, depends on where you take it to get it installed - risingsun has some used trannys starting at $100, you'd hafta get a quote from them - i think the dx tranny will still bolt up

mpfi swap - i think around $100? Really depends on where you get it, junkyard, private seller, etc.

Both! One in the front, one in the back! You'll nevar lose!

DB powah.

huh? lol

He's saying put in a mid-engine lol.

Will a 5-speed Civic or CRX Si (88-91) bolt up into a 90 Hatch STD?

i guess they both kind of have there advantages. If you were going to go with a d16 get something like a d16a6 because they have a lot of aftermarket support and is a good motor for the money. The b16 you need to get more stuff just to make it work like the motor mount kit. But with the b16 youll get more power. B16 also has a boat load of aftermaket support.

Oops what I meant was, you might as well ask wich rims are better, Motegi MR7s or Mugen MF8s.

Apples, meet Oranges.

Who tought this guy how to do math?
What state are you from?

[icE_x]

you D-series hater!

what all would we need for a B-engine swap, and which would be easiest to swap in?

and i'm not even gonna ask if its possible to swap in a b-series with an automatic tranny in my auto ex...lol

[bambam89lx]

search...
mounts, linkage, custom harness....basically everything!
But it's worth it. And, be prepared to spend alot of hours swapping parts over...and pulling parts from a 90-91 integra...

Wish i could just have the integra, make it really easy
