i dont think that would work but im not sure. if it were me i would get a zc out of a junkyard 86-87 integra and try to get the fuel system out of it too. that engine is a direct swap once you have the fuel system and its good for some power.

 

The bore spacing is the same between the 83-87 D's and the 88+ D's, so yes, if you know what it takes to mount on a ZC head it is possible. It would be better to use a pre-88 brown cover ZC head, though.

For that matter, an entire brown cover ZC engine or a US 86-87 D16A1 would be a better choice with a suitable carb (or two.)

 

i live in MAUI , HI , its hard to find motors here. everything has to ship in from a different island and there's not much in HI, there is a couple but not as many motors as we find in cali, and since cali is closer, shipping is cheaper with cali to HI than florida to HI

 

on the elestronic fuel system swap.... im thinking there probably wont be that much to swap out because i had a 84 dual carb lude in my yard =

https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=115875

and it had an electronic fuel pump that sat outside near the drivers side rear tire and plugged into the fuel into engine bay line. I thought, why not take that pump electronic fule pump that could probably be excellent for dumping fuel on boost and slap it on the line.... the carb'd fuel pump on the rex block is attached to the distributor assembly and pulls fuel in based on air and an arm thats driven by the camshaft.

what do you all think about this lude electronic pump on the in line of the rex, i dont mind runnie ecu wires back there and i prob wont have to sway the tank out or anything, i know i can still keep the fuel filter in the back and in the bay or maybe change it to one filter insstead of 2.....

 

hey kai, correct me if im wrong, did they make any carb d16a1's? I did a little searching and i found out that the integras are this

86-87 F.I. D.O.H.C. 4 D16A1 CC=1590 75.00mm piston heads 11-501

88-89 F.I. D.O.H.C. 4 D16A1 CC=1590 75.00mm pistons heads 11-502

strange that last number is a different piston model # for a certain company if i were to buy pistons from them; if i could drop the 86-87 in how come i cant drop in the 88-89's? different mount specs?

 

hey thanx for this link man, i have a question for all... are the carbs used in this project blow through/ boostable?

 

The electronics are way different. I have all the conversion instructions
on my computer somewhere, but it gets pretty intense... basically, the whole car needs rewiring/repinning.

There was never a carb'ed D16A1, although there are carb'ed versions of the ZC and D16A8/9 (basically, euro ZC.) I do occasionally see dual carb ZC manifolds pop up.

 

hey thaqnx for the help.... im curious... would a d16a1 drop into that 87 crx bay? i know someone who is selling one locally for about 300 motor, trans, head, intake. i will need a harness, ecu, axels, and all those little electronics. any chance , would you know which mounts i'd need or could use?

 

Both versions, 86-87 and 88-89 will physically bolt in with a mix of stock and Integra mounts. The 88-89 will be a pain to get running though.

 

I'm not real sure. I *think* the design of the carbs would allow for it, otherwise you'd have to get the float bowl vent to see the same boost, and probably a rising rate fuel pump of some sort.
