whats up guys, new to the site, i just picked up a 89 crx si with a d16y7 out of a 96 ek coupe. the crx has been converted to obdI and i just picked up my injectors and distributor out of an eg coupe this morning.

my question is, i am missing the driver side motor mount. would a standard SI motor mount from a 89-91 crx work with the d16y7 or would i have to get something from another model to work.

ill post pics of the rex later tonight.

thanks for any help.

 

you need the motor mount and engine post mount from an 88-91 civic/crx

 

so yeah you can use a stock crx mount to mount it up.
as long as you stay d series all other stock parts should work, except for things like wiring and ecu.

 

use you stock tranny,clutch and flywheel unless u convert to hydro

 

awesome, i just towed the rex to my house and took a quick look under the hood, the guy pulled a motor mount already that looks like it will work, if not, i will make it work (drill new holes for the engine mount to go thru.

i am new to the honda scene but not new to modding and working on cars. i am strictly JDM, no body kits, no rims bigger than 15" i like to keep the car looking as stock as possible with the exception of rims, suspension and other slight modifications that go well with the car.

my current car is a 2006 Scion xB that has literally put me in the poor house, i've got Tein ssp coilovers, XXR 15x8 +15 offset, 10mm hub spacers in the rear, toyota bB headlights, foglights, looking for the bB hatch and rear bumper assembly. I/H/E the works lol...heres some pics of the box and ill post some pics of the rex tomorrow sometime.

 

that's a pretty good lookin box ya got there lol.

 

you will need the y7 driver side mount I have a y7 in my 89 si

 

ek mounts are different...

you need the oem d15b2 or any SOHC d-series driver side bracket from 88-91, and the 88-91 driver side mount.

 

yup! this is what i needed for my z6 swap in my dx..

don't forget to get ur resistor box.

 

after thats is installed you can easily find a y8 head for around $120 and then you got a good d series engine with vtec

 

I prefer a z6 head.

 

worked on the rex all night and got it started up on the first try, i still gotta go pull me a motor mount after Christmas. its a beast right now but it will only get better.
