Post here if you have any questions concerning engine swaps..


someone sticky this please

 

will a zc bolt right into an 88 civic 4dr? do i need anything special? (wiring harnesses, axles, tranny, ecu, mounts.........)

 

the zc is a dohc d series engine...it bolts right in w/o mounts...the 4 door has the same engine bay...wiring depends on if its mpfi...you'll need an ecu from a 88-89 teg (dohc) or one from a zc

 

whats the deal with newer d series engines, are they straight bolt in do they use hydro trans. Does honda even use a cable trans anymore.

 

I do not know of any current cable trannies...i'd like to know the advantage of the hydro system over a cable unit

with all the lines, master and slave cylinders the hydro system must cost more and increase weight over a cable system

 

does the y8 bolt straight in to 4th gen hatches

 

yes

 

what kinda engine comes ina 86-89 integra? i know its a 1.6l but is it a b16a? i thought the b16a was the 00 honda civic SI motor for us in the US. also will a b18a bolt into a 1st gen teg? or will i have probs, also whats needed?

 

the brown valve cover was the d16a1 (113hp dohc made from 86-87) and the black valve cover was the d16a3 (118hp dohc made from 88-89)...i belive the mounts are different and it won't bolt in a 88-91 ef chassis only the 84-87 chassis but requires mpfi conversion

 

Will an h22 fit in a EF hatch? :fawk:
