I have a d15 in my 91 civic hatch right now and i have a d16a1 motor out of a 89 integra does any one know if I can swap head and intake or will that be a lost cause?

 

no, the d16 head will go onto a zc block, but not on the d15 (unless its a 1g crx d15)

the d16a1 fits onto the d15a1/2 and is known as a "hydra"

 

the sohc zc head will bolt right up, of coarse with diff IM and such, the dohc zc will not bolt up

But I think in order for it to mate to a 1G CRX, you also have to do a lot of wiring work, changing the distributor from vacuum advance to electronic advance.

 

Thanks for the great info everyone does anyone know what i can do with that d16 engine

 

I believe you can swap it into a 1g CRX easily,but other than that,the mounts are completely different from an EF and would require alot of work,its basically a DOHC ZC with a bit less power.

 

to be honest i think it might fit on there would be a *** low comp ratio but it might work, i dont think honda ever change thier cylinder spacing as far as d engines go

 

sure it will fit.. as long as you have a machine shop and $$$$ ,,which wouldnt make any sense to do..If you want the dual cams just get a black top dohc zc complete motor
