im doin a DOHC swap....b16a2 in my 91 hatch.
wiring is a pain. so if you want make sure you get the DPFI to MPFI conversion, a obd0-obd1 ecu jumper, and you are going to have to modify your harness to work.

but its looking good so far.

i love mine!!!




just keep it clean man

Nice hatch, the blue hatch is **** man I love that, what kind of suspension/rims are on it? And I'm trying to get my post count up, it says I'm a trial member since I haven't been on here in so long lol. Oh and btw you will love the car more once you get rid of dpfi, only thing its good for is mpg.

i revved at 4k on purpose to show the tach actually works instead of it being a dummy one that doesnt work like i see on most cars and do i have to get rid of the dpfi to do the dohc swap? and i believe the blue hatch above has ls mesh wheels painted like bronze or gold

you HAVE to convert your car to MPFI. wont work, trust me i am doing it RIGHT NOW as we speak lol.
and dont go over your head in this...im only 18 right now, and i have talked about doing multiple swaps, but im doing this on my own.
If you have about $4000, go ahead and do a k swap. everything will be aftermarket under the hood, intrument cluster, shift box, front suspension....its a bitch. I was going to do a k20a3 but it slipped out of my hands and the person didnt get thier tax refund in time...


and my "bluehatch" which is actually becoming my nickname lol..

it is lowered on RS type coilovers and the LS meshies are painted from a MERCEDES-BENZ. also wrapped in 205/50r15 Neo Gens. so i have about $600 in my meshies alone.

How much where the coilovers? And is that a stock blue color? Real clean I will try to post some pics of my rex and my project on here soon, I want smaller rims and a bigger drop.

coiloers actually came with the car when i bought it two years ago. all i did was slam it as far as it will go.

it had the stock color on it, but it was oxidized on the top and just kinda crappy, so one day i saw a 2006 MUGEN SI with this color, and i chased him down and got the paint code.
B529P-4.
but once i get my swap installed, i will be ordering Function and Form type 2 coilovers.
