why are buying a CX swap? You will lose 22 horsepower(92hp to 70hp) and get a very long geared tranny in the process. If you going to get anything get a D series 1.6. Sohc vtec, sohc, or dohc take you pic.

 

sorry I meant a sohc Vtec fron a 93 si

Use the search first next time

Edit: many more there...just choose those 3

 

mechanics wise it is very easy swap. wiring wise to run the stock ECU you will need to convert to MPGFI and wire in the OBD 1 stuff. You will also need a Throttle cable for a SI/EX EF , and various vacuam lines thats can probably be reused from thr old engine. If you go with the 92-95 ecu you will need to get a eletronic speed sensor so that you vtec will work.

Basically the wiring going to be pain in the ***. I also hate wiring though.
