Just purchased a 1991 crx -w- bad motor. Do have a good running stock d15 to put back in the engine bay and i got to thinking.....what is the fun in that....so for starters....looking for suggestions on a good motor swap...looking for more power and it will be a daily driver....just want it to be a FUN DAILY DRIVER...so gas mileage has to be good...but i would like to do as much as i can ...futer may have some autox-ing in it....but other then that...all street.

Thanks for any and all help and info...

also have 2 motors for sale... 1 good d15 1bad d15 no comp on cyl 1

 

ZC is a good motor for your aplication. it bolts rite in, uses sohc D series trannys and there is not to much wiring to do. it makes about 130 hp and 112 tq. good autocross motor and very reliable. you can find parts for it from the older integra's. and you will still get good gas milage. not to mention they are cheap. good luck with your swap, and welcome to H-T.

 

I agree with ludeEF they are good motors and they drop right in with no serious mods. I have a Dohc Zc and it run strong, I have beaten afew B16's with it but they probably did not know how to drive, but they with deffinatly keep up with them

 

ya a ZC is a decent motor. If you're lookin for a little more oomph go for a b18 LS motor (90-91 teg). they are fairly easy as well.

 

if your looking for the ultimate "oomph" stock, i would go for the B18C5 ITR motor. I plan on dropping one in my Hatch when i get the money to do it

but thats a B series so you would have to change mounts, axles, tranny, ecu and more wiring. it gets kinda expensive and just as esay as a b16a, so why not just go with a b16a swap? even more kick

i'm not trying to hate but when I had my ZC there were a couple of guys around with LS motors in thier hatches that I would put a whoopin on.

 

woo, dont forget about us sohc zc'rs! w00t

Well ya you'd have to do mounts. but if you get a 90-91 b18a it's all plug and play.

what about tranny, ecu, axles, and shift linkage?

 

Sounds like the zc is the way to go.....for now..

any ideas on where a man could find one at a reasonable price.......
