well i found a junkyard here in muncie indiana where i go to school. they had one honda in the mess of cars out there and to my luck it was a crx si. i made a deal with the guy for a 100 bux for the motor. i am gonna be swapping it into my 1990 dx. will the dx tranny mount up to the si block? ive never done a swap before, so should i get the axles and all that crap too? im pretty sure this a direct swap right? ive already done a mpfi swap. so im hoping i can jsut biuld the block and drop it in, hook it up and go? is that possible?

Re:d16a6
 

im pretty sure all the d-series tranny's bolt up to it. already doin that swap is key also. u should be good to go

Re:d16a6
 

shizzle...ill be starting it in two weeks from today...once i get out of this gay town. its so boring here. cant wait to get this beast running with the new motor and boost :)

Re:d16a6
 

ou best be bringin it to my house for the ne hmt meet fool

Re:d16a6
 

so where exactly do you live mang? i could definetly use someone to help me swap that motor in once it gets biult. maybe we can works something out so i can get it running before june 19th.

Re:d16a6
 

Yes the dx tranny will bolt up 100%. You can use your dx axles as well. Your going to use your dx wire harness as well. You will have to modify your distributor plugs if you use the si dizzy though, Good find for 100$. you should get the rest of the parts for spares if he gives u a good deal
my thoughts...

Re:d16a6
 

cool thanks for the good info..and im pretty sure ill be buying a clutch from you in the near future. ive heard good things about them and cant beat that price :)

Re:d16a6
 

just a little advice... if there is nothing wrong with your stock motor, wait till u also find an si tranny before swapping... you will not fill a difference with that dx trans... trust me... you'll be dissapointed

Re:d16a6
 

yea, get the tranny FOR SURE before you swap that engine in, get the power to the ground. If i were you i'd be nab'ing ---- left and right off that Si. Good find for only $100! ;D

Re:d16a6
 

Well if he did the mpfi swap already, most likely he used Si parts and the new engine is ready to drop in, no extra mods required. If you don't have the money for the Si tranny, don't worry about it. It'll be better, yes, but I've running my dx tranny and still kick some butt

12 to 1000 ;)

Re:d16a6
 

yea i am getting the si tranny too. im just worried cause the car has 175k miles on it, i mean im gonna be rebiulding the motor so that gonna be brand new and since my dx tranny has about 90k i was gonna use that and keep the si one as back up. just my thoughts

Re:d16a6
 

if you feel comfortable opening up the tranny, just swap the si final drive into ur dx trans... also... was the car wrecked? if it wasn't... i would pass on the motor...

Re:d16a6
 

it was wrecked from behind. so the whole motor is good. i understand that if it wasnt wrecked the motor probably blew up or something but since it was hit im ok

Re:d16a6
 

Well, if your going to build it anyways, it doesn't really matter, does it? I guess it will depend on how much you were going to build it to. If it was hit from the back and ONLY has 175k miles, come on it's a Honda, you should be fine. But either way great find for $100


7 to 1000 >:(

Re:d16a6
