Ive read your Faqs.Searched google and HT. Im eyeing a 91 civic body and was wondering if i can put my 2004 D17a1 into it, i understand the wiring and obd differnece, this is just for reliablity not racing. Nay yay? im sure what id have to spend to get it to work i could rebuild the damaged engine,or replace with a dohc. but thats what im here to learn.

 

Excuse my terrible ignorance, just cant seem to find a answer.

 

imo its really not worth it. It would be real close to the difficulty of a k series swap. Plus very little aftermarket support i know of in terms of swappin it.

 

D17A1

• Found in:
  • 2001-2005 Honda Civic DX/LX/VP
    • Displacement : 1,668 cc (101.8 cu in)
    • Bore and Stroke : 75 mm × 94.4 mm (3.0 in × 3.7 in)
    • Compression : 9.5:1
    • Power : 115 hp (85.8 kW, 117 ps) @ 6100 rpm
    • Torque : 110 ft·lbf (15.2 kg/m, 149 Nm) @ 4500 rpm
    • Valvetrain : SOHC (4 valves per cylinder)
    • Fuel Control : OBD-2 MPFI cut: 180kmh
  • Not worth all that trouble with wiring and making your own custom mounts just for 115hp...Get yourself a D16Y7 or D16A6 if your want a basic swap with reliability or if you have the knowledge rebuild your stock engine

 

thanks guys its just that this engine only has 15k miles on it, i put it in a year ago and just have gotten bored with this civic, keep braking bolts and suspension parts. car is too heavy!
just thought it be cool to have a Ef putting around with my new engine. thanks.
