Swapping D15Z1 into my 89 Civic LX
This is kind of a "cross generation" question, so I'm posting it here and inthe EF forum.
After aday of exploring putting the D15B VTEC into the car, I'm starting to favor the idea of the D15Z1 a bit more. it's VTEC-e, and is a green machine.
What problems should i expect to run into? Does anyone think this would be a difficult swap? I'd have to switch to obd1 and mpfi, but that's no big deal really.
It would give me more HP than I currently have, and MUCH better fuel economy.
I'm more interesting in knowing if the swap is goign to be that big of a deal. All of the info I've found is for swapping to a CX, and nothing is found for a pre-92.
