I'm considering buying an Integra with a 1.6 Auto transmission engine, I'm not sure what model engine it has but I have a few questions if anyone can help:

What would i need to convert to a manual tranny?

Could i swap in a manual DOHC ZC from an OBDO CRX without too much trouble and run it for OBD1 bearing in mind that we dont have strict emissions laws over here in the UK?

I'm just after some ideas as i want the car but i dont want an auto tranny

The engine is a d16a1 or maybe something different like a a8 or a9 since you are in the uk. The 2g ZC from the obd0 crxsi/civic has a different bell housing, so you couldnt bolt it in, and it has a different driverside motor mount on the block. I say keep the stock engine in, and just try to find a manual tranny 88-89. You will need shift linkage, pedal assy, and a ecu.

assuming your looking at a 88-89 integra because I know they had sohc zc's in 2g integras in jdm/uk land.

Sorry i completely left out any important details

The integra i'm looking at is a 1994 JDM 1.6 auto, the guy is hopefully going to tell me what the engine number is so i know what model engine it is.

I have a few ideas they go something like this:

1. swap in one of my spare D16a9 CRX engine end gearboxes and convert it to support OBD1

2. swap in a D16z6 lump and ECU from a civic in the local breakers

3. keep the original engine and swap the 'box with another unit

Would i be able to use the linkage and pedal assy from a civic?

any links to any sites where i could look this up would be a great help as i am hard pushed to find spare time at the minute, hence all the questions

cheers

all your questions are going to depend on what motor is in that car. you NEED to find that out before any of us can give you a solid answer. if is a B series motor then your screwed, you need to get a b series tranny. if its a D then what you thinking of might work. but remember b goes with b series and d stays with d's.

you will also need a clutch, flywheel. and master cylinder. i am in the process of converting my 94 ex from auto to manual.

What engine have you got?

how difficult is it so far?

master cylinder for clutch?

i am currently in the process of converting and re-installing my b18b1w/gsr tranny. gsr shift linkage, stock clutch, stock flywheel. i am going to work in Colorado to work so i will have to let my friend finish here in shitty ole Louisiana.

I think its a D series, one of very few 3rd gen integra's to have a d series, if so i think it will make my job a little easier as i will have a cable clutch
