nope wont work.not the a1 dohc.

 

read this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=195730 one person said here that it just bolts on and the other says it takes machine work. i dont know which one is true. anyone know??

 

I asked the same question about 2 months ago and never got a straight, reliable answer. I think its like asking: how many licks does it take to get to the center of a toosie pop looey pop ? 1, 2, crunch.....3.... Who knows, if its possible, I would love to do it, it would drop the comp. down to like 8 to 1 !!! Sweet *** combo for a turbo !! Which I plan on doing...

OK, now slam us with"buy a ZC" posts... ZC=9.5 to comp, suck for turbo....

E-mail me if you find out... maximum_rip@yahoo.com

 

hahah yeah im waiting for that. BTW, i went to look at the engine today and im going to purchase it, swap the head, and post up some pics. if the head wont work, i will do the whole engine. d16a1 is going in my hatch.

 

please don't forget to let me know, I was VERY INTERESTED in that combo, but lack of feed back as to if it was possoble or not stopped me.. I know where a D16A1 sits right now for $200, and I can sell the block to my buddy with a 84' crx. If you do deside to do the whole motor I hear it is a MAJOR PAIN, but I don't know personally...
