I just recently got an Acura Integra for $400, the engine is at 200k miles and I
want to rebuild it, but before I do I would like to see what kind of engine I can
stuff into with, with out changing engine mounts or anything super complex or
requires welding

From what I know it has a 1.6 liter DOHC 16 valve 4 cyclinder, 5 speed manual
transmission (not sure if thats needed)

As a side note, does anyone have some blueprints for this car?

 

welcome to han, you could swap a b16a1 which is what is in crxs and it will swap right in to place

 

Thank you, but does that engine meet or
exceed my current engines profomance?
i just got it and dont really know anything about import engines
so any help is very appricated



As noted here its only available in japan and europe.

you cannot swap a B-series engine into the 89 Integra without buying a mount kit, shift linkage, etc. - the only engine which will swap right in without aftermarket mounts, etc. is the 88-89 JDM Integra DOHC ZC 130hp - basically the same engine as your D16A1 with just a little more power - bolts right in using your transmission, wiring, axles, etc. - that engine is kind of hard to find - it is not the same as the DOHC ZC that came in the 88-91 JDM Civic/CRX Si models, which will not bolt into your car - it is also not the same as the "browntop" DOHC ZC that came in the 1st gen JDM CRX Si and 3d gen JDM Civic Si - the "browntop" used a vacuum ignition timing advance distributor (like the 86-87 Integra D16A1) - the later distributors will not bolt onto the "browntop" ZC
