Im back! 91 EF CIVIC SEDAN

Wow, seems like forever since we saw an update

think he got rid of it

Hey hey hey, You bite your tongue. I would never sell this car! lol. It hasnt been touched since my motor blew up. Im focused on the dime right now, Then civic gets attention again

Well, Lol. Its time for the civic to get attention. My 85 Blazer decided to blow ahead gasket today, no overheating just decided to pop one. Soooo on Friday Im headed to Sacramento to pick up my motor swap. And will be dropping it in the civic asap. liiiike this weekend...

Good luck on the "drop in"

Sounds like a fun little pre Thanksgiving project.

What swap are you gonna do? I just picked up a 91 hatch off my dad who bought it brand new. Gonna start messing with it some as well. Trying to figure out if i wanna do springs or coilovers. leaning towards the springs.

Well, My civic came with a D15B2.. Which is a Dual point injection motor.... Shitty for performance but great on economy. It blew a head gasket about a year and ago and I replaced it, re surfaced the head and got her running again... 20 sec. in the new OE timing belt snapped... Interference engine. No bueno. So has since sat unattended.. I wanted another SOHC since I wouldnt have to do mounts or conversion kits for a DOHC. I went with a 92-95 EX/SI motor, Its a D16Z6 SOHC Vtec. I have the ECU out of my del sol Im gonna run on it. Car will be ready to run by sunday, Only thing Ill be needing is my jumper harness to go from OBD0 to OBD1, Unless I find an SiR ECU which is an OBD0 Vtec ecu. Ill have the trans off that D16Z6, I wont need it. Its a Hydraulic clutch and mine is cable, So instead of converting, My trans is fine and am just going to reuse. Pretty anxious to get this motor and drop it in. I had this swap in my 94 Hatch, With a chipped ECU (similiar to what Im going to run) And it was plenty fast for me to have fun and sill get great MPG.

Lol you still got me beat. Mine has the D15b1 in it!!!! same dual point setup but only 70hp backed by a 4spd manual haha. Dad said he paid just over 4000 for this car brand new in 91. Has vinyl seats no ac. Doesnt even have a damn passenger side mirror. All of this fancy package from the dealership. Netted 40mpg out of the first tank.

Nice, My 94 hatch came with a d15b7 multi point injection, but 70 hp base lol cx model.. Got my motor and trans out. Clutch is in great shape still, Only had 20k on it. But Im putting a new one in it anyway. Flywheel was new when I put this motor in it too, Thats still perfect and am keeping it for the new motor. New clutch ad new Radiator will be here tomorrow

If you dont mind, take alot of pics and detailed instructions on how to do the DPFI to MPFI swap. Think i might do that to mine if the parts can be had for fairly cheap
