I put a D17A2 out of a 03 civic ex in my 89 civic hatch still OBD0. Anyone ever heard of this swap being done before?

Don’t hate because I did it and you believe that its an impossible swap!! Ill have picts up tomorrow and ill have a video of the car running and driving hitting vtec, It hits pretty hard actually. I cant get pictures tonight because im not at my house (cinco de mayo) but you’ll see!

 

First off Im not really a dick. I’m just tired of people telling me that I didn’t do something or that its imposible when I have it sitting out side in my car and have driven it every day every where for the last year! So…

This motor dose have a spot for the distributor on the cam caps the cam also has a slit in it for the distributor shaft. i threw away the coil packs and threw on a set of spark plugs, timed it and we have spark! good question but I drove past go and collected 200 dollars. Lol

Did the OBD0 dizzy bolt right on?

 

"i stand corrected" thats what you did. swapped the obd1 dizzy on the thing and ran the spark plugs i like the idea of that. the question is, are u using the entire obd0 system?

Forgot to mention that I have a VTEC switch lol because lack of money I cant find an ECU that’s OBD0 and doesn’t call for a knock sensor because the D17A2 calls for 3 wire. So.... ya but its fun being able to control VTEC lol when ever i want! yes!!! the only problem is i know that my A/F is going to be off. Im going to convert ot OBD1 soon because im dropping a built 95 GSR motor in about 2 months yay!!

 

bump

 

sixo de mayo, where da pix YO?

 

yeah i would convert to obd1 as well. well u said the knock is a 3 wire, cant you unscrew, say, a b16 knock sensor and thread it in place of the 3 wire???/
i need to see this

 

Im curious about the engine/tranny mounts. Pics please!

 

this just in.....

still, nobody cares. not yesterday, not tomorrow.

its difficult but not impossible. ill have pictures, vids and a description of the whole process of the swap.

The swap is possible but unlikely. I can only imagine that you must have had the motor fall into your lap for little or next to nothing.

Please carry on w/the videos and description when you can. If nothing else, it'd help anybody else who finds himself with that motor in his yard.

 

First I'm going to call BS. You ask a question like this : https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1974596 yet you can complete this swap? Doubtful.

Second: Congratulations, you've swapped in one of the worst motors Honda ever produced into one of the best chassis that Honda ever produced.
