I have an 89 Si that had a b16 and I'm going to put in a D16.

I think I need all these usdm EF (dx or si) parts: intake, mani's, header, dist., plugs, harness, axles, tranny, shift linkage, clutch and ecu; to be smog legal, and for the car to run.

Need to know exactly what EF Dx parts I can use, and what EF Si parts I have to use. I'm pretty sure I need EF Si (d16a6) dist., plugs, tranny, ecu, and I think I can get the rest of the parts from an EF Dx. The car's not going to have a d16a6, but will have a sohc zc or some other d-series.

Not sure if this is all correct...

Thanks

 

Find a writeup on installing a B16A and then work in reverse.

 

looks good. also, some people on the front crossmember hammer the tabs for the mount down or cut them off to clear a header. you might need one of those.

 

Mr. latino betta take that "dr." off your name cuz you dont know jack.

To clarify for latino...its simply not that simple. Theres obd and mpfi situations that dont come with the usual b16 swap...so no you cant work back from someone who installed a b16. Next time make sure you know what your talking about before you post.

Thanks for the useful info from bagpipe.

 

Bagpipe are you talking about tabs that I would need to weld in?

 

Just to clarify...If I buy a 88-91 sohc zc w/ cable tranny, the tranny will work in my EF?

Can someone confirm or deny the info. in the first post?

Why are there MPFI issues? Are you using ITB's?

No on the itbs.

Thanks for the info helped out a lot.

Si or Dx with these parts: dist. + plugs, clutch?

Would the fuel rail have to be changed for smog if I get a jdm engine?

Thanks again mr. phd.

Are all these parts interchangable (will work) on a d15b?

 

You will need to use the Si distributor and plugs.

The fuel rail will not need to be changed. However, be aware that if the ref checks the block stamp and it says zc he will fail you.

The clutch and flywheel should be matched to the year of the transmission

 

even if i change all the smog parts to usdm?

 

Are you doing this to pass smog? If so, you might stand a better chance just getting your car BAR'd. - Darrell

 

Yea thats what i'd do to the new motor (zc, d15, or d16).

Any more info would be appreciated...

 

I always thought you could not bar a zc because it never had a US counterpart...Am I wrong???

 

dn bump...

 

So what do you need to know now?

you can use the DX transmission.

 

just buy a god damn d16a6 swap, makes life easier, and they are hella cheap

Would a D16A1 not be a suitable counterpart? I don't have to smog or BAR so I don't have any direct experience.

 

It would, and i might...but can someone confirm the info given, or add some more.

 

Confirmed.

 

So can you bar the zc?

 

anybody ^^^^?
