I got lucky and recieved a free car ...................... thing is it is a 1989 integra ...................................long story short it is an atuomatic and has a bad head and instead of going thru all the trouble i waned to just drop a new engine into it but the thing is it is automatic. My question is how difficult is it to swap this engine over to a 5 speed model beacuse i have only worked on newer hondas and they are simple just replace flywheel clutch trans and computer. That is what I assume it would be like for this car, if anyone had some insight or some tips let me know. Also what is that engine's code beacuse it is a DOHC 1.6 0_o never really seen that engine before? Thanks for any good info form u guys : D

 

throw a ob0 b16a in it theyre cheap get the whole changeover but try to get a ys1 gsr tranny.

 

lol Its a D16A1 Engine, but do like the guy above said, and get a OB0 B16A In it, you'll be happier in the end.

 

but i dont like to do things like everyone else does i give love to single cams and the neglected red headed step child............................ but as far as swaping it to standard it is pretty strait forward like all hondas?

 

im pretty sure its gonna be pretty much the same as any auto to manual conversion. You kinda sound like you've done one before, but I still wouldnt call it "straight forward"
I also would reccomend doing a b16 swap, nice and fast but thats the way i do it.

 

your motor is not a single cam! its a DOHC 1.6 non-vtec just a get a b16a and call it day. make sure it is a ob0 swap or you will have trouble making it work.

 

you could take that engine and drop it in a first gen crx..

 

yeah i guess ill just take it all apart and see what i can do with it 0_o its not my everyday driver. ill look into geting a b16 after i get the car running agian thanks guys : D

 

man if you werent in texas id consider picking up that d16a1 from you..
