Well basically you have a HUGE project in front of you.

It's been covered many times before, search around on here. Basically you need to convert to fuel injection, and rewire for the more modern engine/ecu etc.

After all that you still have a car with torsion bar and solid axle suspension

Check out redpepperracing.com they ahve alot more info on the 3g civic/1g crx.

If the car's super super mint I'd consider it. If not, I'd just rock it as a daily or sell/trade for an EF if you want a tuner platform.

First lets look as some of the things we will need and things that will need to be done.

1. Fuel Tank. Convert from carb to fuel injection. To do this we will need a fuel tank from an SI as well as the main fuel line from an SI and its fuel pump.

2. Axles. The 1G axles will not fit properly in the D tranny, and the D axles will not fit in the 1G hubs. You will need the D axles and the outer cv joints of the 1G.

3. Mounts. There is no after-market kit for putting d-series engines in a 1G, so you are going to have to make custom ones. You will need all the mount from the d-series and the 1G to mix and match.

4. Shift linkage and stabilizer bar. Get the ones for the d-series.

5. Clutch. The 1G has a cable clutch while the D-series is hydraulic. You will be making an adapter.

6. Wiring. Lots of wiring to do and lots of choices to make on how to do it. At a minimum you will need a MPFI engine harness and the correct ECU for your engine. </TD></TR></TABLE>

You could run carbs on the DOHC motor. I'm assuming you are swapping a ZC or D16A1 into you car.
