I had a thread on a SOHC VTEC swap but I was wondering what it would take to swap an A6 in a EG?

What do you do about wiring? OBD? All of that? Could I keep OBD1? Can an OBD1 dizzy be ran with a EF SI ECU?

I could push 120whp out of it which is good enough for me. I used to have a SI and liked the motor a lot. It reved easily and was very peppy. Plus its going in a CX so it does not weigh much.

Any help greatly appreciated and please no go FI or go B series, I dont want to!

...and a SOHC ZC would be about the same right?

which eg?

You can use your old engine mounts and your old flywheel with the hydro tranny. I also have an A6 Block in my Civic

Use everything else from your stock motor. An A6 with a D15B7 ECU & distributor should run just fine.

My car is a 92 CX, I can use my dizzy? Will it have the same HP output as an SI if I use the CX items even the ECU?

Um...the dizzy should work. Not sure about the ECU, since it's designed for 180cc injectors. You'll need a B7 ECU. The B7 and A6 heads are identical.

Ok cool, thanks

What Civic model used the B7?

Simon Tibbett

cool post how it goes if you dont mind

Simon Tibbett

One more question, B7 ECU's are P06's right? Does it matter auto vs manual? I hear some swaps dont matter....

Simon Tibbett

anyone?

BauleyCivic

Yes they are P06, and you need auto for auto swap, manual for manual swap etc
