Re: different in sx and std (joeny12985)
im guessing that you meant dx not sx but for the brackets go they should be all the same the difference is the engine and tranny dx has a d15b1 and a five speed and a std has a d15b2 and a four speed. the only thing i would worry about is the year. the different years have different things.

D15B1 = DPFI 70 hp '88-'91 Civic STD engine.
D15B2 = DPFI 92 hp '88-'91 Civic LX/DX & base CRX engine
They 'basically' share the same block as the D15B7 (92-95 DX/LX) and head casting with the D16A6 88-91 Si engines.

The only differences between the DX and STD motor are the cam, ECU, and exhaust manifold setup. Simply upgrading these parts will effectively change your STD motor into a DX motor, which will increase HP from 70HP to 92HP. Although 92HP is not much, it DOES represent a 30% increase. And it feels like ALOT compared to 70HP, especially considering the car is light. Furthermore, it can all be done for less than $100, using junkyard parts.
