im sort of new to this whole honda tuner scene.. as i am only 17.. i recently purchased a nice eh3.. but it had a vx motor in it.. (dont ask).. and since im 17.. im looking for something faster.. my first thought was to work all summer and buy a gsr.. but 3kis alot.. then i was thinking of a mini-me build.. and eventually turbo etc..

anyyyways.. my friend was looking around in a junk yard today.. and said he spoted a d16a1.. said it was a twin cam out of an old intergra.. said he could get the entire car.. running, ecu, everryyything for free.. i know this will fit in my eg..


how much modifining will be needed.. since its older than a 92.. its probably OBD0.. is that a bitch to change from OBD1 to OBD2.. and will my 5 speed d series tranny mount up to it?

if for some reason i come up with some spare cash.. can i buy a gsr or b16 head? (i didnt think itd work.. but worth asking).. did they ever make a twin cam d series vtec?

ANY Info Would Be Awesome
THANKS A LOT

To put it short: don't even bother with it.

+1


and dont even think about mini-me on the z1, compression will be 7.6:1 unless you swap the pistons, which is a whole nother story.

 

so the d16a1 isnt worth the time to put it in? the vx &gt; the d16a1?

if you have to ask if it will work it wont. how many 92+ civics you see sporting d16a1, theres a reason.

 

how many people do you see that have a civic that get a swap fro free?

 

well, do it then, hell if you know more than me just do it to prove me wrong.

 

i was just curious.. to why you said it was impossible..?

 

sell your free swap, and do better things to your ride
