my brother is planning on swapping a d16z6 into a 90 crx hf .my ? is will it bolt up without any modofications? thanks in advance. helpppppppppppppppp!

 

u should really serach, u can use all the mounts that come with the motor except the driver side mount u use ur old mount off the old motor


u can use everything else, make sure u get a si trans

u have two ways to do it


convert to obd1 useing a jumper harness that will activate the vtec and you'll be running a obd1 ecu

or use all ur obd0 stuff and use a vtec controller/msd activation switch/etc.


i went obd1 jumper harness and im running a p28

Easy swap SOHC run like a champ

 

And since it's an HF, you have to swap out the hubs...can someone back that up?

 

agreed.

 

Ba4, where did u get your harness
i have been looking forever

 

No need to upgrade hubs unless he wants to use the larger axles
His stock axles work fine on any 88-91 DX/Si trans that require unequal axles.

 

drop in swap
buy a vafc or similar vtec controller to activate vtec.
run an si tranny
done.

cant you use the d16z6 dizzy without having to switch to obd1?

 

it is a nice swap once u get it done I had a d16z6 in my first crx that was a 90 hf it is a pretty easy swap and it runs realy good

simple answer...
nope.

CAN'T BE DONE.
The internals are different specifically the number of teeth on the pickup gears.
You have to run an obd1 ecu with an obd1 dizzy and vice versa.

**an obd2 dizzy and obd1 dizzy use the same internals so you can interchange them. The only problem is that the plugs are different and must be changed.

haha...this is you right - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=926193

so how did you do it 'without problem...on an obo0 ecu' ??

 

dont bother using anything obd0, just convert your harness over to obd1 and use a p28 or p08 ecu and get a jumper harness for you ecu from boomslang fabrication. do a search on obd0 to obd1 swap and print out the instructions to do it. converting to obd1 is better in the long run , rpm activated switches are overrated.

says here that you can use the obd1 distributor with obd0 ecu...are they lying?
