I'm looking to get an EF hatch as a fun beater car so I can get rid of the Si and get an S2000. I'm looking for an EF because I don't see many around and the ones I do see are either riced out or beat to ****. So having a clean *** 2 tone (80's what?!) mildly modded swapped EF would be an awesome idea in my book. I'm familiar with my EK chassis and EG's as well so I don't know everything about EF's. First off which model would be the easiest to swap a 1st Gen B16 into? and what features dous that model have? ABS? Disc brakes? Power steering? ect. I'm going to keep looking around for a little more info but if you could help me out or point me towardsa good source I'd appreciate it.

The CRX Si, Civic Si or 90/91 4 door sedan EX would be the easiest.
They all have the proper axle hubs for the B swap axles and they are also wired for multi point fuel injection (4 injectors). You have a variety of options, but these are all the "loaded" models so look around for a brochure maybe and pick what you would like to look for in your car.

The CRX HF also comes with MPFI, but it will need hubs/knuckles from any of the other models to get the axles to work. The good thing about the HF is that it's the stripped model so it's LIGHT.

All the other models require you to convert to MPFI because they were equiped with DPFI which only has 2 injectors. That conversion is EASY, but you asked for the EASIEST so these don't fit the bill.

Hatchback STD is LIGHT as well, but it's not MPFI and it's also got the crap brake hubs that need changing.

 

a dx has the same hubs, but you would have to convert to mpfi

 

There's a STD hatch for sale with 102K miles. I'm not opposed to swapping axles/hubs or converting fuel injection as long as it's not a complete PITA.

 

if you are going to do that, then you might as well swap the whole suspension for 90-93 integra stuff when you do the engine swap. you can usually pick up an ef for about a grand, at least thats how i find em, and it doesnt matter about the mileage since you are going to change the engine

 

Good suggestion my buddy has some spare DA parts around.
