sweet yeah i am on idahomotorsports forums..
and i just got a d16a1, got told it wont work in my civic and so i am bummed

 

[AHHVTEC]

sure it will but its a down grade

 

[doeboy208]

it will? i got told it wont..

how is it a down grade..
a guy told me it came from a teg and will only fit in that and a crx

 

[AHHVTEC]

well who ever is telling you this info take no more from him because he dont know much, but it can work its just not worth it

 

[doeboy208]

the motor has new jp piston with eagle cams... and 250cc injectors

why will it be a down grade?

 

[AHHVTEC]

just start reading. and catch up on some thing you will be surprised at how much info is already here

 

[doeboy208]

i guess i will have to do that...

 

[E_SolSi]

welcome to the site... definitely do some reading / research... it will save you a shit ton of money and a lot of frustration down the road

 

[doeboy208]

yeah the reason why the guy said it wont work cause of the trans wont bolt up

 

[eg'sforlife]

its a d series trans and a d series motor it will bolt

 

[doeboy208]

yeah but the motor mounts are diff.

 

[AHHVTEC]

then swap them around as said it will fit

the big issue here is OBD
your car is OBD-1 that engine is OBD-0

first of all its illegal to go backwards with OBD
second if all its a bitch to go from 1 to 0 as the injectors and a bunch of other shit work differently
third its kinda pointless you could get a D16Z6 and have more power and it drops right in... all 92 civics are prewired for VTEC regardless of whether or not they are so equipped... so literally all you would need to do is drop the engine in hook up the P28 ECU and go (you would benefit from the matching transmission though)
