1g crx engine swap
I am hopefully picking up 2 first generation (one 87 and one 86) CRX's this week for $500. I am trying to decide which engine to swap in and turbo. I am trying to decide between the d16a1 and the d16z6. I think the d16a1 would be easiest because it is a direct bolt in. but since the d16a1 is obd0, does that mean i can't use uberdata? basically i am just wondering which swap would be easier/more logical.

Re:1g crx engine swap
you can run ghetto dyne or that new turbo edit but it all depends on the ecu you run. Im thinking about doing a mini me on a d15b2 86 hf z6 head with 2nd gen crx si intake but i dont know if the head fits i have yet to look at the top of the block

Re:1g crx engine swap
I got a first gen too. I think semnos still has one, but not sure.
I'd say go with the d16a1. It's the easiest and you can find them fairly cheap. Fuel management may be a problem if you are looking at zdyne or haltech etc.
I'm using an SDS EIC and msd btm6al setup.

Nice Nyc86ZC.
You got yours boosted
.
That looks exactly like mine engine bay except for all those wires
.I got to fix mine...I'm selling it 
.
Got me a 2nd gen..do you know that the PJ1 ECU can be chipped...the fuel map can be tuned with the older version of ghettodyne or with OBDOEDIT. I was gonna do that, but I blew a gasket and a lot of bad things happened afterwards.
Anyways post some numbers..
