would my d series mounts work im pretty sure my tranny will and everything else the only thing im worried about are the mounts

 

Not worth the hassle when you can buy a ZC or a sohc vtec for very cheap these days.

Do a search, it's been covered.

QFT.

Possible, but not worth the extra effort when easier swaps are available for dirt cheap. Especially considering that it only has a few more HP than a D16A6/SOHC ZC.

 

yea i couldnt find any locally on craigslist i dont wanna deal with the shipping and what not i found motor and tranny for 300

mounts are going to cost more than $300

 

im sure there are motors around where you are!!!!

 

the d16a1 drop in the 1st gen rex and the same gen civics I have seen people put them into an ef but its not worth it.

 

yea its better than nothing though i guess

Don't open your mouth if you don't know what you're talking about.

OP, what engine do you have? If it's a D16A6, don't even bother with the swap, you're literally only talking a few extra HP. Plus, there's a much better aftermarket for that motor.

 

well my old single im pullin out has a rod knock thats the only reason im puttin the d16a1 in but i need to know what mounts i would have to use to get the d16a1 to fit in my car.

 

we did this in my buddys crx... use your old tranny...which will line up the three tranny mounts.. then you have to custom make a mount for the drivers side....they dont even sell the mount so it seriously has to be custom... not a hard job at all though...if you need more info you should be able to search on googleand youll find somethig about it... good luck

The only thing about this is, you need to position the engine perfectly in the bay, and you have to worry about axle angle and all that. I suppose you could do it with string to ensure the engine is straight, but personally I wouldn't bother, especially for 118hp.

 

if the D16A1 is 86-87 (brown valve cover) it is only 112hp and doesn't have electronic advance ignition - will be harder to wire up the ignition - 88-89 electronic advance distributors will not bolt to the 86-87 head

you cant spell worth a damn. where did you go to school?

 

to the OP.....


why not buy a SOHC ZC from H motors? it'll bolt right up easily, has plenty of aftermarket support, and will cost a heck of a lot less than putting the d16a1 engine in. all said and done.

 

yea i think im going to just pull a single from the junkyard and build another frankenstein. i did have a z6 block with a y7 head. last time i ran it i beat a turbo minime runnin 10lbs and a jdm ls in a ef hatchy. plus i already know my mounts will work if i do that now i just have to sell the d16a1 or should i try to trade it for a single

 

yo really dont wanna do that swap. i did it in my 88 civic hatch and the motor mount on the left side of the car is always going to break after a while then the cam gears will sit on it once it does break.

not a safe swap at all

 

yea im tryin to sell it and ima jus try to snag a single 1.5 block from the junkyard or somethin throw my y7 head on it

Wait a second, you want to throw a Y7 head on a vtec block? Why on earth would you want to do that? If anything, get a D16A6 block and a y8 head and have a high compression mini-me.

 

huh?
noo a 1.5 non vtec block with a y7 head lol

 

Ok, but that will still make less power than a stock D16A6.
