Talk to BauleyCivic. Ask him if he'd do it all over.

Beats the living **** out of me

 

dude..

i dont want to be a noob basher.. but seriously.. they're out in FORCE tonight!

 

That is what the honda dealership told me i had today. i didn't know exactly what the f*** they were talking about either. my car is a 87 civic si (hb). it has a 1.5L with pgm-fi. my timing belt broke and the cheapest i can get the valves fixed and head machined is like $300 so i figured i might as well do a mini me swap but i can't figure out which motor i have

 

he meant eww throw that **** in the gutter and go buy another.

on a serious note you can find a d15 nonvtec for 1-2 hundred.

 

so whats an eww then???

 

lmao....its a long snake looking thing.

man i dont know you said ew3 or someshit, im just messing.

 

your engine is an EW3, thats the engine code (as in D16A6, B16A2, etc..). no, a mini-me would be hard as hell on your engine, basically because it's pre-88. in 88 they went to all d-series engines, and you can find an ecu to work, so you could do it. they are easiest to do on 92+ cars.

your best bet will be to find an engine from a junkyard, and hope it works. you should be able to find one for around $150 tops
good luck

 

well i just got confused cause i didn't know what they were talking about i have only had one honda that old. and only a couple hondas in general im use to the rx-7 engines

oooohhhh boy, dont start a flame war about pistons vs rotaries man

you'll burn at the stake for that sorta thing!

 

well i like the honda's better and i just gave up on my rx7 but for right now i have to get my honda fixed but i heard it has the lighter of the body's that honda makes im not sure if thats true or not but what would be the best engine setup

 

Hey im reading BauleyCivic forum's **** pretty interesting stuff.......lots of info.....but pretty interesting......

 

yeah, i just don't play with mr wankel
anyways, the easiest peppy swap would be a D16A1 out of an 88-89 integra (1.6L DOHC non-vtec, similar to the JDM DOHC ZC engine). all wheel disc brakes will also swap over from that car. a friend of mine bought an 85 crx for $75, bought an 89 teg for $50, swapped over all wiring from headlight to taillight, all brakes/suspension, seats, and the engine/tranny/ecu. everything bolts right in. he had less than $200 in one of the funnest little hellraisers i've ever ridden in

look for a really good deal on a wrecked 86-89 integra. the 88-89 is better because the engine has a little higher compression.
good luck
