Ok well i got a d16a1 it was burning oil so i decited to rebuild it ordering all my parts soon i had my head checked over by a shop it was all good i am getting all new gaskets bearings rings i have reseated all the valves have a si trans with 8lb fandaza flywheel and stage 2 clutch wanting to keep it a DD but plan on going turbo sometime hoping to keep my project going all summer but just want it back on the road heres some pics of what i got now
before


the way she sits for now
i pulled the oil pump apart to check the gaps it was all good so i did some small porting just to free up the oil flow hope to shim it before i put it on
just the front of the car is lowerd but early next year i plan on lowering the whole car lol and buying a camber kit

this is the hf flange tip welded to the end of the d16a1 mani it was pulled out quick and the cut it off insted of unbolting 2 bolts
im using the hf oil pan and pickup becouse the one to the d16a1 has a wedged shape and i have alredy dinted it badly almost poked a hole will post a pic later
since the heads off i cleened up the intake side a bit just sharpend the edges i know it needs the ruff surface i planed on trying to polish the exaust just havent had time



my way of keeping things straight
this is my hf tranny that i gutted and put si internals inside

 

Ok got some updates i pulled the block apart to my amazement the berings were ****ED i thought they wouldnt be bad but i was wrong


lucky i didnt drive it more or i would have blown it up but the cranks fine

everything needs cleened but nothen wrong with the block just needs honed

 

Come on now 46 views and nobodys got anything to say?

 

good job on getting the d16a1 running in your crx!
i did the same swap, and after months i still cant get the starter to engage

 

what tranny are you using?

 

Can you please go into a little more detail on what you did with the oil galleys/pump.

 

heres the link that i used. http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-f...g-porting.html
I didnt do as much as they did i only had limited time it was the end of school i did it the last day but my next one i might try a little more i still havnt shimmed myn but i want to have a washer that will work just have to work on it.

 

Well i got a strutbar today for 20 bucks and its brand new outa the box was still in its wrapping it just sat in a closet for a little while.

 

 

im using what i believe is an si tranny.
but it could be an hf tranny, im beginning to have doubts lol

 

Good start man. But a tip, if you want to show detail in a picture, instead of getting a close up, take the picture from a reasonable distance and then crop it. It makes it much easier to see what you're trying to show us.

 

I did some cleening today on my intake and block will get pics up tomarow. I decided im going to paint the engine and tranny black and my dad will be sandblasting my valve cover this weekend so i can pant it.

 

I cleaned up my intake and got some new hose.

 

I touched up what i missed and put the head on for a pic

 

nice man i wouldnt have painted the block but to each there own

 

Well my tranny is a hf casing with si internals. and i never had that problem.

 

really? maybe its my flywheel in that case. im just gonna open it up again til i get it right ha
thanks!

 

looks good, but why did you paint the block? and the head

 

I used the hf flywheel and clutch for a little while untill i bought my Fandaza and clutch and the block was kinda dirty and just thought i would try painting it its not anything fancy just wanted a cleener look and i will be painting my engine bay grey like the car it would be too much black if i didnt. I am waiting for my parts to put the engine back togeather paypal says it should be here wednesday.

 

I got my tranny cleened up evan though it dont look it paint will stick, it will be black.

Oil pan is cleened up too going to paint it to but its a suprise.

Valve cover is red now and the letters wil be painted black.

 

I didnt have a tq wrench so i bought one.

Had time to paint my tranny today looks nice i thought.

Ralco shifter 40% throw reduction was 30 bucks and still had steel in it not a aluminim peace of crap. I orderd some more parts last night still waiting on my stuff to rebuild my engine funny thing is the shifter was the last thing shipped out and my engine stuff is still not here.

 

When you painted did u remember to plug the hole where the axle goes into the dif??

 

I am not a fan of you painting the block, head and trans black but your CRX is really clean and nice. I want me a CRX now.

 

Yes i covered the hole and the seal and thanks i love crx's. And I finaly got my parts and all i got done was valve seals on and the block honed hope to get more done this weekend.

 

I need to buy a valve spring compressor and i dont see how nobody likes the black.

Just put the pistons in now to put the rest.

There is half of the bearings in.

And here is it whith the crank and girdle tourqed down and ready to go.
