d16z6 how to bolt it in a 85 crx si

 

nobody can hlp me

 

your "easiest" bet is to bolt the engine to an 89 integra tranny (or 86-89 i guess works)

they almost 100% bolt up, a few bolts dont work, but it centers itself, etc.

then make a custom mount for the engine, drivers side. its not that hard. we had to make a custom halfshaft mount in the rear too. this was for a d15bvtec, similar engine, but it didnt have bosses for the halfshaft. with any luck the d16 will, i'm not sure though.

 

how do u make tht custom mount

 

someone should make a write up for this

 

its not a real common swap.

you need some fabrication skills...its a very easy mount to make though. we welded it, using a couple of mounts we cut up. you basically need to drop the engine in, get it level, and then make it while its being held up with a jack.

 

ok im thinking about tht or turboing/build the motor low comp nybody know wats better

 

go search on redpepperracing.com as that site deals with the first gen crx's and you will get tons more help over there vs here simply because the majority over here are 2nd gen. i believe there are quite a few guys on that site who have done the same swap as well.

 

and if you turbo the motor some arias pistons, eagle rods, a block gaurd and some good engine management ( hondata, zdyne, crome, turbo edit, ect..) will have that sucka flyin with a t25 or t3 when properly tuned .
