I just recently purchased a 91 DX Civic Hatch from a friend of mine. The motor is blown and I am going to replace it with a different engine. I know that a B16 or ZC motor would be the easiest. I would like to do the B16 swap, but there seems to be alot more work involved then I thought. What exactly has to be modified on the civic for this motor to work? The company I am getting this motor from includes ecu, axles, tranny and all the other conponents that I will need. Is there a complete swap guide out there? Any info would help.
thanks,
james

 

whoever told you a b16 is easy to install is mistaken

theres always some type of problem you'll run into, i still havent finished mines, but than again im a dumbass

To run either engine in a DX you will have to convert it to MPFI.
[Multi-Port Fuel injection]
Look for the links on "DPFI to MPFI" for explanation of this process..
