One of my friends has a ZC in his 91 CRX Si, he's puttin a B16 in (dont ask why??) And I have the chance to get the motor. I have an 86 CRX Si will the motor fit? If it will man.... it'll be crazy. Right now I still have the factory 1.5, with an AEM cold air, stage 3 clutch, and a full cat back, and I can keep up with a 02 Civic Si with the K20. I think the main reason is my weight though, with me in it the car weighs bout 1306 lbs.

 

Alright, yes it will fit, but you will need mounts from 86-87 integras.

1300lbs? I doubt it.

D15 keeping up to a K20? I doubt that aswell. Did the Si know he was racing?

 

I'm assuming it fit directly in your friend's 91, if that's the case, it won't fit in your car (easily ^^^ i.e. need different mounts). As far as I know the only other direct bolt-in options for motors for your car are the "brown-top" ZC motor (NOT the same motor as your friends'!) and the D16A1 from a 88-89 Integra.

D16A1 will not 'bolt up'. The tranny will, but a custom mount will be made for the driver side mount. Your best bet, is to get 100% of the mounts from a brown top. I beleive that's what they recommend on redpepperracing.com , a 3rd gen civic website (also 1st gen CRX).

 

My bad on the D16A1, I've never put one in myself but know a few other people who did and said it was easy... listen to this guy (ludesrv).

 

Yea actually it does weigh 1300 lbs. I had it weighed. And yea he did know, but i dont think he could drive. OK another quetsion, why'd u call it a D15 when on the block it says E? But thnx for the help, I was hopin it would.

 

Oh and do u think u could show me some links to find the "brown top" ZC, All help is appreciated its my first swap so I'm pretty psyched, my F22A 90 Accord go demolished before I could do a swap.

 

Some of the older 1st gen CRXs had the EW1,2,or3, but I thought that stopped with the 1985 models and then they went to the D15A2.... anyways, they're identical.

 

Oh, a few people I've talked to call it a D15, and I was always confused cause like I said on the block it said E. My lil bro has an 85 Si and they are identical in looks jus minor things like the fuel tank.

if you get a "browntop" ZC, you will need to get the intake manifold and throttle body from 88-89 (not 86-87) Integra D16A1 - the "browntop" ZC EACV is not electronically controlled by the ECU and the 86-87 Integra PG7 ECU will throw a code for EACV - the D16A1/D16A6 EACV will <U>not</U> bolt onto the "browntop" ZC - with the ZC you need to use 86-89 Integra transmission, knuckles/hubs, axles, shift linkage and 86-87 ECU

86-87 Integra D16A1 will also bolt right in using the Integra transmission, knuckles/hubs, axles, shift linkage and ECU and it will connect right up to the Si harness, but it is only 113hp - 88-89 Integra D16A1 will bolt right in the same as 86-87, but you have to do quite a bit of wiring due to the 88-89 having electronic ignition advance, where your car has vacuum advance like 86-87 Integra

for a guy that is well versed in ZC's. Heed his advice.

 

my cars a light weight too lol a zc should fit in an 87 4 door too shouldnt?

 

another bringing back a 6 year old thread, however, to answer your question, putting a fuel injected engine of any kind into your carbed sedan is a lot of work, with regard to the fuel system and the wiring - can it be done? yes, but not a simple swap

 

Why do you have a "stage 3" clutch on a car that can't be making even 100hp?

 

Because racecar. lol

 

is a zc the best for an 87 civic? or maybe something else?

 

should with teg mounts.

 

I have a ZC DOHC in my 91 Civic SI, and it was pretty much straightforward. Just go with everyones advice.
