i currently have a d16a9(edm) 89 crx and i am wondering what honda cars i can put this engine into with out any large modifications?

does the 88-89 integra ecu work any better with this engine and is it a direct replacment?

looking for more power on a budget as this is my second car. it has a heavy duty clutch, 4-2-1 maniflod, 2.5 inch piping twin exit exhuast, nismo air filter with a stainless steel induction pipe. any help with this matter will be greatly appriciated

 

without a lot of modification, about the only choices are the 2nd gen CRX (88-91) and 4th gen Civic (88-91) - the 88-89 integra PG7 works fine and yes, it will plug right in - if you now have the PM7 you won't see much difference, if the EDM PM7 is the same as the JDM?

 

i check my ecu and it is the pm7

 

The Integra ECU will be a direct replacement for yours. Both cars should have a similar ZC pattern engine (ZC, D16A1/8/9.)

If you are looking for a lighter body to swap that engine into, there are none that would be easy.
