i have a ef beater, and an ek which i plan doing a swap with. the d16 in the ek runs flawlessly, to the point were i hate to get rid of it. the question is do i go through to *** ache of putting the d16 in the ef, or sell the whole set up out of the ek, and buy a used motor for the ef. i'm not concerned about power, moreso reliability in the ef. if someone has pro/cons that would make this decision easier, it will be appreciated! thanks

 

Yes it'll work. Pretty much drop in. What type of CRX/Civic do you have? SI, DX, HF, Ex??

 

it's a 90 4dr lx

It will drop in. Remember that this motor is basically the same thing as the A6. And as such, it is a drop in swap, provided you use your ED driver's side bracket and mount. You might also (but not necessarily) need to use your ED clutch and flywheel. Besides that, it is entirely possible to use your DPFI to run this motor. But upgrading to MPFI, using the 1988-1991 A6 ECU, intake manifold, distributer, etc., would be a MUCH better choice.

 

^^ that is correct ^^

What kind of d16 is it? vtec or nonvtec?

 

It will work. I have the D16Y7 in my work beater, which is a 90 hatch si. Best would be to convert from the DPFI though. Either way.

 

it's a non vtec d16. what wiring complications are involved? electrical **** hurts my head. what's the easiest way to make this happen? how do you go from obd0 to obd2? thanks for the info so far, you guys are a big help!

 

you will keep the car obd0
