i just recently picked up a d16a1 and a tdo5h16g turbo and would like to know if anyone knows how to get this motor to fit in my hatch

 

custom mounts

 

does any one know who makes custom mounts for cheap and will my tranny work on this motor
i have the si cable tranny right now

let me know asap please

 

try yur local shop, if there worth anything they can do it for you.

 

Not a drop in swap. The tranny is to your current mount. SLightly shorter gears. Realy it's not worth the hassle. The a1 has 10 more HP the the a6 which you probably already have and are easier to find and work with.

 

no right now i have a d15b2 so its a great jump with an extra 43 hp but i think i figured it out thanks for helping people ill put up pics of my ef hatch witht he eg conversion with a turboed d16a1

 

A d16a1 uses a different configuration bolt pattern on the bell housing. So a normal D-series trans (d16a6/z6/y8 etc) will not bolt up to it.

 

Rally. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. At least I wont replace my ZC Tranny with an a1 now!!!

 

not to mention the mounts on the trans are totally off for an ef chassis

 

Swap bell housings and time to brake out the tools. 43 horsepower? The b2 is rated at 92hp and 89ft/lbs tq. While the D16a1 is rated at (86-87 113hp)(88-89 118hp) All that hassle to get a whopping 26hp at the most for all that fabbing up mounts and ----. Instead just find a JDM dohc zc since they have come down in price alot since there pretty old engines now for a obd0 engine. If your car was older then 88 then go for the a1 but 88-91 civic/crx go with a jdm dohc ZC. Nuff said. No ifs ands or buttholes.
