hey you guys i need all the opinions on whats a better swap for my 91 hatchback!?because i still want my EF to pass the smog..its my daily driver baby..whats the most simple swap between those two in the bottom!?im tight on the budget also so keep in mind..

D16Z6 or B16a1

 

d16z6 will be very simple because you dont need axles,tran, mounts and other ****. but if you dont have a crx or a si you will need a mpfi swap.

 

thanx alot...but will D16Z6 won't give me a hard time for the smog test!?

 

If you hook everything up correctly then you wont have a problem.

 

what about the price range on those two swaps!?

 

b16 is a shitload more.

 

You can just swap in a Z6 head if you don't want to waste a lot of money and get VTAK and some extra HP.

thats a good idea..whats the price range for the head swap!?

 

You can do it for about $300

 

Less, pick and pull sells heads for 30$, or you can buy one here for around 100-150.

 

if you are trying to pass smog in Cali don't get a b16a just stick to stock unless you like the hassle. If you do a swap do it right or you won't pass smog and than you will be screwed

 

Smog tech i go to told me he'd pass it if it was the same size as the oem engine or same size available from the time. Say for EF 1.5 and 1.6. and he's from test only.

 

A shop in California told me that if you do an engine swap. And the engine was not originally for that car then it would automatically not pass smog. But idk for sure. So i would like to get some info on this topic too. Because i want to know how all these engine swaps are running around. Or if the shop just bs me.

by law that is true. they can not smog a car with a swapped engine. It is illegal and they can lose their license. If you do a swap you have to get it bar'd.

The guy that smogs my car does the same thing. As long as it is the same size engine and doesn't need an EGR or anything like that he will smog it for me.

Please don't spread misinformation.

CRX Si / HF had MPFI.

CRX STD/DX had DPFI.

Hatch followed same route, but did not have an HF model.
