How about ~drumroll~ D16A6? It has MPFI AND it is a little bigger Did I mention little to no modification needed?

All you're really changing is the intake manifold so you aren't touching the block/tranny/axles.

the D16A6 or the DOHC Zc with Si transmission will fit with very little modifications.

You will need to change to MPFI for both.

Depends on how good you know wiring and what not, I have friends that are mechanics but will not touch wiring. I have done about 3 mpfi swaps and they just get easier and easier.

Not really sure about using the si harness, I just make my own mpfi harness, I find this easier to do.

Look in the faq section up above, you will find all the links you need.

research how a turbo works and then you will realize you can put just about any turbo you want on it. Its really only a matter of fabrication.

I would go dohc zc, or d16a6

maybe too much? is it vtec. i could get 1.6 sohc vtec complete swaps for cheaper than that. either way it will work just fine. and be as reliable as a 92-95 civic. get a complete swap (engine trans ecu intake and exhaust manifolds) everything. from a 92-95 civic ex or si. u could use the stock trans, but i recommend u get the vtec trans (lower gears). also u must use an obd0-obd1 ecu conversion harness with a stock 92-95 vtec ecu, and just run the wires for vtec. i think u have to use the stock motor mounts (not sure thou). use crx engine harness( after converting to mpfi). stock axles and all. ur good to go with about 125 hp. also when ur done check out homemadeturbo.com. good luck

well after reading. you do need the drivers side crx motor mount and the rest from the d16z6. also if you get a new trans you prob have to get a hydro/cable conversion for your clutch. (hasport.com) but your trans will work. as for locating a motor, id try a junk yard. maybe pricey thou. give em a shot. or if u know anybody with an engine swap in their honda, chances are they know someone with a z6 just lying around.
