A16A swap

[carotman]

What do I need to do an A16A Swap in my Civic??

[Neuspeed87lx]

you have a civic ?

[1989 DX R]

Yeah, an old like 87 beater :p

[YK86]

It's a waste of time. Go with the H15A.

[carotman]

It's a 89 sedan beater.

My mom said she would pay for the swap. The Honda mechanic told me that the A16 would be the best engine cost and performance wise...

Anyone know how much HP it has?


That H15 looks tempting. I need more info on it since my mom is so cool that she's gonna buy me the engine I want for my B-Day

I don't claim to know to much about civic motor swaps, but wouldn't a zc work for you?

I was kidding I hope you didn't think that after doing a EFI conversion, swapping discs and undertaking a B20A swap I wouldn'T know that I can't swap a 3g engine in my Civic


But you'Re right about the ZC, it's the engine best suited for that car, the B18A1 would be nice too. When my D15 dies, I'll probably get a B18A because of the parts availability.

[PhydeauX]

Wouldn't that be an a18a then, I was unawar of an even smaller a16a.

There was an A16A, I don't have the specs tough... but it exists.

Check the shop manual on Paul's website. http://www.pauldesign.ru/honda/shopmanual.html

Check engine and chassis code.

It's an A16A indeed
