Well im thinking of picking up this 86 si. Problem is the tranny is gone in it and it doesnt have an ac. So i was wondering bout how much would i be looking for a tranny and would it be possible to get an ac installed? Also what are the most direct swaps for the car. I stepped out of the honda game for a while FWD isnt really my forte. But the deal is one i dont want to pass up so any info is good info.

 

for the ac i would try looking at the junkyards,ebay,etc. And you can put the brown top motor and tranny from the first gen integra. and you should check redpepperracing.com they are huge fans of your body style crx and civic

 

IF you can find a tranny from the D15A3 engines, it will be pretty cheap, no more than $100. But might as well swap the D16A1 from 86-89 integras. Try to get the 86-87 instead of the 88-89 unless you know the extra wiring involved in it. You will need everything from the teg. Eng, tranny, ecu, axles, and if i remember correctly also knuckes. But go to http://www.redpepperracing.com for more info. Those guys know old school stuff.

 

i had a B20B/VTEC in my old 87 Si hatch....
