OK ok im the new guy! be eazy on me. But i came across a d17a2 5 sp from a civic that was wrecked from behind. Now the girl was asking me if i wanted to buy the motor off of her since the car is basically ruined!. Question?? can this or has this kind of swap be possible. I kno its not the best of all swaps, but i figure this motor only has 30,000 m on it, so its basically a new car plus she is selling for cheap ( and i mean cheap). i know that a d17a2 is a distribuless system. plus ive read a del sol having this same type of motor. any tips, guides , sites would be helpful.

 

the d17a2 came in the 01 and up civics, i think you would probally have to get custom motor mounts, and do some wiring work. I dont think its worth going threw the hassel. Try finding an LS motor you should be able to find one for less than $1500.00 also a b16 or b18c1 will work in your hatchback. Also what part of CT you from?

Ya you should get an LS motor or a b16. If your interested i know someone selling an LS motor.
