I have an 86 crx si sitting at my work. It doesnt run, I am almost cetain that a d16 from a 96-00 civic would bolt right in. I am planning on going to the junk yard and pulling the motor. As far as I know, all I need is motor, tranny, axels, and the knuckle and hubs (spindles). If any body has any info for this swap, please let me know. If I find an ex is there an ecu that will plug into the factory 86 wire harness which would give me vtec. Not looking to spend alot on this car. I don't plan on keeping it.

 

bump, someone out there knows and wants to help me. pleaseee. thanks for any help. or any website that has the answer to my question.

 

far from a bolt in. 1G Teg motors are pretty easy to swap. Check out redpepperracing.com for more info (if the site ever comes back up).

 

wouldn't the D16 from a 96-00 Civic be a SOHC?

Definatelly swap an Integra ZC DOHC in there - especially that its a 86 Si - which should already have a ZC in there - its a straight swap!

 

what ever is in there know is a 12 valve. The piston rings are shot and its all f'd up.

I've actually seen a D16 bolted into a 1G CRX. The transmission used was a 1G Integra, although not all bolt holes were used. And what looked like some kind of factory Honda mount was bolted to the holes in the front above the A/C compressor. Don't ask me where the bracket came from, as I don't know.

 

did a little more research, and I am planning on putting a d16a1 86-87 integra motor in it. It will be a bolt-in for the most part. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
