Will a d15z1 fit into a 92-95 civic dx coupe without many problems? By problems I mean will it fit with the same mounts, wiring etc as if I were to put it in a CX/VX HB? I'm looking for a hatch but can't find good quality for the money they are asking but I can find coupes for a great price in great condition. I'm searching for enonomy here and I am willing to sacrifice some mpg to get this project going unless it is going to be a big difference between putting this z1 in a coupe vs a hb. Also, whether I put the z1 in a hb (I would do a DX,CX of VX manual spd) or a coupe (I would get a DX manual spd) is there an advantage in transmission type in terms of gears that will yield best mpg performance or is it close enough that I won't be too disappointe if I say keep the stock 5sp manual with the coupe and link it with the z1??? I guess I should be asking if I can mate the z1 with any standard 92-95 civic hb or coupe or will this not be plug and play for a particular model? Boy, the more questions I ask the deeper I realize I am in this crap and not knowing a whole lot about it!!

 

yea it'll fit no problem. all the 92-95 civic engine bays are the same size and everything,

 

and youll be able to use the same wiring and mounts that the hatch uses. i

 

im not completely sure, but i think the mounts that you already have will work.

 

Also, you should be able to use the same wiring that you already have in there,

 

you'll just have to run a couple wires from the ECU to the VTEC solenoid.

 

The DX transmission is pretty good for gas mileage, but the VX and CX transmissions have longer gears and are even better for gas mileage.
