86 si swap confusion

[destrux]

I have an 86 crx si, with the ek4 motor. I have an 86 or 87 integra available to me with a low mileage motor for $80. What is the engine code for that engine in the integra (it is a dohc motor) ? I've been searching around and can only find info on JDM stuff. This car is a USDM model.
Will that integra motor bolt into my CRX, or is there and mount kit available... if not, how hard would it be to make mounts? (I can weld somewhat) Will the wiring be the same as the usual ZC swap?
And can I use my stock si tranny, or will I need something else?

Also.. other than the distributor and Ignition system, is the 88-89 USDM dohc integra motor way different? I have one of those available as a backup incase this motor is sold before I get to it.

Thanks for the help, I'm new to this whole honda thing. It's very interesting though... the interchageability of it all. I already swapped the rear drums for integra discs.

The engine code for US spec 1G Integras is D16A1, it is a 1.6L DOHC
engine.

The swap into your 1G CRX is relatively simple, and is done alot amoung
the 1G CRX community. There is no need for expensive wiring harnesses, or mounts, axles, etc, etc, like is needed for the B16A1 swap.

The 1G was available in Japan and Europe with this exact engine setup.
All you need is;

D16A1
Integra tranny (86-87)
Integra half shaft
Your CRX passenger axle
Another CRX/Civic passenger's side axle
Integra CV hubs (to transfer to the CRX/Civic axles)
Integra ECU
Integra rear engine mount
Integra tranny mount

You should be good with the following list. It also helps to have a Factory Manual or Helms for the 86 CRX, and the Integra. (There is
one for sale on ebay right now) Also you should factor in some extra
costs like fluids, etc, etc....


Check out www.redpepperracing.com/forum it's a forum only for 1G
CRXs and 3G Civic owners... There's a bunch of us on there ALL the time
posing and answering questions...There is also a bunch of us who have
done this swap, well ZC, pretty much the same thing.

Good luck, have fun JAKOB
