your wanting to do a swap? you want to swap another d in? WHY

 

[doeboy208]

well i traded my audio equipment for the d16a1 and i got told that you cant swap it and i am wondering if your really can.

 

[austin20110]

yea you can but i cant understand why you would want to

 

[doeboy208]

but not the trans can you?

 

[austin20110]

yes the trans will bolt right up.... a d-series is a d-series

 

[doeboy208]

yeah but the d16a1 is for the acura and a crx si.... thats what i have been told...

 

[austin20110]

D16A1 1986-1987 Integra

you might need new mounts..


what are your goals with the car

 

[efhondakid]

NO it didnt come in a CRX, the D16A1 came in the first gen Integras. It will swap into you car, but why are you wanting to do this swap?

 

[doeboy208]

well i am running a d15b7 right now and the d16a1 is a 1.6 and mine i have now is 1.5 so not much diff..

goals turbo, something qwick but not too fast

 

[doeboy208]

really not wanting to do swap after reading that its not much better than what i have.. but if i did it, it will be for exp thats it

 

[austin20110]

You have a lot to learn, you can tell the difference between an A1 and a Z6 blinfolded. If I were you I would sell it and boost your motor if you want to go faster.

[doeboy208]

thanks guys..

 

[austin20110]

but let me tell you a few things....
its a honda, its fwd, dont get a wing
a body kit isnt going to make you faster, nor will stickers
you dont need 8 cyl. to go fast

o and if you feel like a speed demon keep it on the track

Ok yes it will work, best swap? No, but thats not for any of us to decide for you. Use your sohc drivers side mount, and your sohc transmission, all the bolts to bolt it to the engine will match up but one, you dont need this. If you feel better it can be drilled and tapped for a bolt. Its been done though numerous times without issue. Using your sohc transmssion will allow you to use your mounts, drivers side will fit the D16a1, you may have to remove the cover to expose the holes, you may have to cut it out, i dont know , never done the swap but have seen it successfully done. Youll will also use your sohc wiring harness on the DOHC. Should be the same as swapping a ZC, or another sohc, all but that one bolt that wont line up. Be sure you use clutch kit that matches your transmission.

It wont be the fastest thing, but you can swap some 1st gen ZC cams in to it for more power.
