I wouldn't worry about making that motor faster, personally.

To be blunt, it kinda sucks to upgrade. Save up for an SOHC or DOHC ZC or a newer D-series, and do a manual swap at the same time.

^ What I'd do...

thats not that bad of an idea
wouldnt it be cheaper anyway to put in a sohc zc then it is to do a mpfi swap anyway?

 

Well, actually, putting in an SOHC ZC <U>IS</U> an MPFI swap.

The only thing you have to do to your car to make the SOHC ZC work is change your wiring. Check my project thread in my sig. I did an SOHC ZC swap on my DPFI car and covered it fairly throroughly. You can re-use the stock tranny, stock mounts, stock shift linkage, stock throttle cable and clutch cable, stock axles and hubs, stock everything. That's what makes it so cheap to do.

I will recommend http://www.hmotorsonline.com til the day I die. They have awesome prices, excellent service, and prompt shipping. Not to mention if you ever have a question, call them and they know a WHOLE LOT about Honda's and engine swaps.

Basically, you'd be doing MPFI wiring and an Auto-&gt;Manual swap.

What I would do:

1) Find all the parts you need for the Auto-&gt;Manual swap. (Local junkyards, eBay, here on H-T.)
2) Order an SOHC or DOHC ZC motor from HMO. Any newer D-series will require OBD conversions and that can get more costly. Stick with OBD0.
3) Swap the engine and do the Auto-&gt;Manual swap at the same time.
4) Drive your ultra-clean sedan which now had a motor and tranny with potential!

Feel free to PM me with any questions...

I wish you were in VA. We'd crank this out in a couple days...

thats what im talkin bout lol.

 

that doesnt sound too hard i will prob do that i gotta find a job now and around christmas time or sooner i should have the swap done
i cant wait
now i just gotta find someone to do it for me or for someone to help cuz i dont know that much AND dont have the nessasary tools (i.e lift or motor lift or anything)

 

Get reliable tools first. You'll always need those. Or get a GF whose dad has a welder, air compressor, air tools, jacks, jackstands, and every car-related thing you could eva want, lol. &lt;- that's what I did

i had that but he hated me with a passion. all i did was call at 1 in the morning
so using his **** was out of the question lol

 

what about the older dohc integra motor that is a d series would that bolt right in? and would it be practicaly the same as an sohc zc? cuz those would be easier to get from a junk yard
