Car is a stock 4 door and its more of a beater than a project. Original motor thats starting to go. What would be the best "cheap" swap? The idea is reliablity not speed and of course the less money spent the better D16? ZC? What would be necessary with each swap? For example with the ZC is motor/tranny enough and can you use stock axles ecu etc? I tried searching but no luck. Thanks in advance.

 

I would say just get a D16... I know of one that will be for sale

 

ZC would be the cheapest and easiest swap, although a D16 wouldn't be much more and you'd have to go OBD1, where as ZC plugs right in and all you need is the long block because your stock tranny and axles will work.

I have a D16 long block for sale, if you are interested let me know.

 

are you guys forgetting that the 90 dx is dual injected? you would have to make a conversion for the mutijection and from my understanding have to get a resistor box as well.
