suggested swap for a 91 dx
 

just wondering what kind of swap anyone would suggest for a 91 dx. that will be easy on the budget and reliable for a daily driver. Any help would be great.

RE: suggested swap for a 91 dx
 

B18a or B18a1....a1 has more hp but the B18a is obd0 like the dx so would be an easier swap...both are cheap....

also you could get a jdm d15b ...that is a really inexpesive swap for you cause you can use your tranny ect and it will give you a little more pep(vtec)

Thanks for the info yeah I was kinda thinking along the lines of the d15b swap thats what I have swapped into my 92 cx. Although its non vtec.

RE: suggested swap for a 91 dx
 

Thats why you want the jdm d15b it has vtec(there would not be much of a point to swap a non vtec d15 when you could just get a d16y8/z6)....there are some people on here with zc motors also...ive not got any real experience with them but there inexpensive and come in dohc & sohc....not a whole lot of aftermarket support from what i hear....hopefully someone sees this and put some more info about them on

Alright thanks for the info it helps alot. Just wondering Ive been checking around and found some info on the zc swap and was wondering if it would b a worth while swap

RE: suggested swap for a 91 dx
 

again zc motors not my forte but ive know some people that have had them....they are older motors which means they are not a wiring horror when swapping into your car (except youll have to wire for vtec)...dont plan on extensive aftermarket support...if you want to buiild a fast motor this might not be the best route...if you just want a qucker car and keep the motor stock short of i/h/e it would be a good bet i would assume

RE: suggested swap for a 91 dx
 

if it were me i would do a b16 gen 1, because its cheap and it has vtec, the zc doesnt. there plenty of aftermarket support for a b16 because they still make them just obd 2. has the most hp out of any of the above mentioned engines

RE: suggested swap for a 91 dx
 

ive swapped a zc into my 91 hb. but if your looking for a legal swap. the zc wouldnt be a good idea. they dont have much aftermarket support.

sohc zc=d16a6 crx/civic si motor. everything is compatable
sohc zc vtec=d16z6, again everything is compatable.
