swap question 92 si

some guy is try to sell me a 92 si block from a hatch for 100 bucks, but its just the shortblock, can i put my a6 head on that and make it work? it only has 55,000 miles and that beats the 200000 on my a6. is this possible? thanks

Re:swap question 92 si

not sure, but if it's a DOHC then i can say NO for sure. my friend has a 94 dx, and it's a D15B7, and you can swap a A6 head onto that. I'd ask him what the codeon the block is. it's on the passenger side, front of the block, just below the head.

i know a Z6 head goes to an A6 block without probs, so i can't see any reason a A6 head wouldn't go to a Z6 block. compression might be a little lower now, but i'm not positive of that.

I would say no.. It will all bolt up but the Z6 block dose not use an Oil Jet like the A6. I say Buy the block buy a z6 or y8 head and you will have a cheap swap

Re:swap question 92 si

get the whole z6 motor and do the swap. i think i might do a quick write up on what it takes to do the whole thing on the crx, im sure there is plenty of info on it but hey too much never hurt.

i would do teh whole thing its your best bet.
then some kinda vtec controller like a msd rpm activator or vafc hack.
