Hey all, new to site
Detail's.....90 CRX Si, stock dohc ZC
gonna ditch the zc and looking to rebuild and then drop in either the Z6, or the A1

Question? is the Z6, or A1 gonna be a direct bolt in, or is mounting fabrication gonna have 2take place?
much thanx

A1 wont fit without modding engine mounts.... And they dont make aftermaket mounts for it. Also the A1 sucks for HP.

Neubie

huh, ya no a1 in that case , what about the z6 tho? otherwise im prolly gonna find an A6 an rebuild for turbo

gingas

The A1 ? R U talking about the B16A? Heard of the Z6. So I take you want a sohc. How much hp R U looking to get?

Neubie

no, not the b16, the d16 A1, it's in the 86-89 integra(u.s.), i kinda had a mild boner for it, just cuz it was dohc more than likely, but, eh whatev.
the z6 is found in the 92-95 civic's, and 93-95 del sol's, I'm interested in this one cuz it's v-tec, and heard this motor has potential, but am concerned about mounting fab.

Other option is the a6, which is what i'm starting to lean towards, just cuz it'll be a direct bolt in, parts and rebuild kit's are readily access-able, that and project car tuner #7(?) has nice diy turbo write up

This is gonna be the be my first rebuild, first engine pull and re-install, so realistically, i'm not looking for a huge hp gain, well that's a lie i guess!!!
oh ya, and ya solo cam!!!! YAY!
