what engine is in the Integras before 1990? are they any good to do a swap? whats the specs on them?

 

d16a1 ...d16a8/9 ... not sure the difference but i assume there is one?

 

Your better off getting a jdm dohc zc which is rated at like 137hp instead of the 86-89 integra which is like 118hp I believe....

 

For USDM it was D16A1 in the 86-89 Integra, D16A8/9 EDM, D16A3(?) in New Zealand and Australia. 86-87 USDM D16A1 had 113hp, 88-89 USDM D16A1 had 118hp. They are only good for swapping into 84-87 Civics/CRXs because they share engine/tranny mount locations. They are a giant pita to swap into 88+ Civics/CRXs because all the engine/tranny mount locations are different, and there are much better choices for the 88+ like the Z6, Y8, or any B-series.

 

actually the d16a8/9 (one is MPFI one is carb'd) are basically ZC engines. they came in the EDM 88-91 civic/crx Si's

but he is right. even though the 88-89 teg engines look almost 100% like a regular dohc ZC they are a pita to fit into a 88-91

besides LisaCivic, arent you swappin a b18 in?

 

yeah still with b18, just saw 3 older tegs in a junk yard, just was wondering what they had
