88-91 1.5 and 1.6 Differences
What are the differences between a 1.5 and the 1.6 in the 88-91 civics. Reason I ask is I have a friend who has a blown 1.6 in her car and found a great deal on a low mileage 1.5. She is asking me if I can swap the 1.5 in for the 1.6 and besides the 20 or so hp, what difficulties will I run into? Will the multi-port injection from the 1.6 bolt up to the 1.5? Or is this going to be a major hassle?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Short answer: It would be a pain in the ***, and not worth losing the power just to get a new engine. The DX engine is DPFI and the SI engine is MPFI, so you'd be doing a backwards conversion, which just isn't a good idea.
