Please I need serious opinions on this, so do me a favor and keep the humor to a minimum.
I have a DX auto, w/ a bad motor. I have a CX motor, which I believe has 70hp and 82tq if my sources are correct.

My question is will this motor be able to pull the DX coupe even though intended for a CX hatch? Also, its crank pully only has 2 ribs, 1 for alternator and the other for a either a/c or p/s. Can I take the crank pully off of the DX motor and put it on the CX motor?

This motor will be bolted to the original DX auto tranny.

 

It will be slow, but not undriveable. You will also have to rewire the O2, if you are planning on using the CX ECU(p05), as the CXs use a one wire. The crank pulley should work. Im not positive, though. Check the diameters and number of grooves in each.

 

What if I am using the DX ECU?

 

Just swap over your dx intake and exhaust manifold and you wont need to change any wiring at all. (the dx manifolds will help with power a bit too)

The crank pulley will bolt on, but I have seen a few instances that the lower cover needed to be trimmed a bit.

 

'preciate that dude. Do you think that this motor will be able to pull the car + 3 or 4 passengers? Dare I ask if this would be possible with the a/c on?

Yes, this is a serious question.

 

holy crap man.. its gonna be the slowest thing ever.lol.. my EX coupe came with a VX motor when i bought it from the guy before me
AND it was running on the DX ECU so... i toook the motor out a week later and got a b18b!!i couldnt stand the slowness.. and im not a fast driver
