Ok guys, I know this is an unusual swap to ask about, but I just bought an '89 Civic hatchback and it burns oil like a maniac when you go full throttle and is quite sluggish. I'm thinking about swapping the d16y7 that came out of my '96 Civic hatchback (swapped it with an LS-turbo setup)...but I can't decide if it's worth waiting to have enough money and just swap a b20 and go OBD1.

Any help is really appreciated. I really need a reliable daily driver, as the turbo car broke the transmission last week, but I'll eventually turn the EF into an autocross/road course car.

Thanks,
- Steven

 

I'm putting a OBD2 D16Y8 into my 88 DX right now. I am keeping it DPFI temporarily just to get it on the road, it's my first swap and I wanted to simplify it as much as possible. I had the motor already so I am just working with what I have.

I have seen it done so I know it is possible, if you have any questions let me know.
