engine swap 94 D15B7 into 88 DX?
#4
#6
I put the same engine in my 91, retaining the 91's stock DPFI intake. It is straigthfoward. As I remember there were only some minor mods:
Rewire the radiator fan switch (lead the wires over to the sensor on the thermostat instead of the back of the block),
Rework the small hoses that preheat stuff on the intake,
Tweak the top radiator hose some to make it fit.
The exhaust from the Gen5 will fit but the O2 sensor is different. A 4 wire O2 can be converted to 1 wire by using only the white output wire and grounding the other three.
I think swapping to an engine that is newer than the car is still legal in CA but I don't live there.
