i am getting ready to do an engine swap in my friends cx and want to know how hard it is to swap engines in a honda? i'v done them in jeeps before with v8's but never in a honda. give me your opinions.

 

I put a vote for not hard. If you just put a little time into what your doing, a little research, and pay attention, it can be really easy.

i've done alot of swaps, gsr'. typeR. h22a. ls cuz i heard it was better to turbo a non vtec engine so i wanted to try it.. all in a hatch, but what are u gonna put into the cx???

 

It's so easy, it's fun. The hardest part is the wiring. Everything else is step-by-step from the manual.

or, it's so fun, it's easy
That's the way I see it anyway.

Unless you've been working on it for a about 9 months while a certain company (:cough: PRI :cough is just sitting with there thumbs up there asses when they should be getting you you're mounts (grumble grumble). It's not so fun then.

depends on what motor i guess...i know that b series are easy, what year is the cx?

 

its a 92 civic cx hatchback, and he got a ZC engine today. i hope it fits, i just found out the other day that i cant put a zc in my del sol, good thing i didnt order the engine.

 

The ZC was meant for the 88-91 Civic models, not 92-up.

 

It's only as hard as you make it.... Just do some research and you'll find that it's REALLY easy.... you can go to the how to on http://www.c-speedracing.com and they show you how to do a swap into a 5th gen civic....

 

I voted for your mom

Its not hard, plus I didnt care to read what u wrote..

Just gather information or goto c-speed where they show u a "how to article" and it should put a good picture in your head of how to swap.

goodluck

 

Its really simple...pretty much. We did two swaps on two different Sundays kinda freaked my wife out.

She said wow that was quick my dad would do a swap on his car (Chevy) and she said it took them like three days.

There is easy swaps and hard swaps find an easy swap.

Dont get mad at me, your the dumbass who left your poll open.

 

i left the pole open for mature people who have somthing inteigant to say, not for retarded little kids like you. and i'm not mad, your just being a retard.

 

And I think the Muckman was doing the obvious joke.

Most guys dont mean nothing by it. It kinda familyish in here so peeps will kid.

Yea good call. People put some lame **** on here sometimes, oh well, there will always be dumbasses out there.

Anyway, what year ZC motor did your friend get? ZC is a non OBD motor, and the 92-up cars are OBDI, so not only will wiring be a pain, but me personally, I dont think it's worth putting that motor in if you knew how(doesn't make too much power).

 

he told me its a 92-95 (dont think they make them newer the 91 but thats what noya usa told him). it's the newest version of the DOHC ZC.

Hmm, I never do that. Anyway, good luck with the swap man.

 

if you can swap a v8 in a jeep then you shouldn't have any problems with a honda swap.

If you've done them before in 8 cyls before then this should be easier...

Just make sure you have everything before you start, and research.

good luck!

 

should be easy for ya I imagine. definatly depends though... H22a in a del sol ain't easy.
