wel the problem there you need to convert your car from dpfi to mpfi
your car is setup with only 2 fuel injectors and to swap a different engine you gotta rewire it for 4 fuel injectors ive done this swap in my 91 hatch,

 

yuk. maybe ill just drop a nice cam in this one and hope it doesnt explode.

 

well the dpfi is well a slow motor, i wouldnt spend any money trying to soup it up,
its mainly the intake manifold that gives it, its down fall

its actually a simple swap and to rewire the ecu all you gotta do is add 7 wires to the ecu, if you do decide ondoing it i can help you with a complete walk through, once its done then you can swap a more powerful engine in real easy

 

what's the maximum size honda block I can drop in there. . . would it be the 2.2?

 

ahh and a better question. . . Is the vtec system controlled by the ecu on any vtec equipped cars?

 

well you can put a 350 chevy engine in there, its up to you first you gotta decide what you wanna spend and how much power are you wanting.

yes vtec is controlled by the ecu.

 

I want to have a donor car and just drop most of what I need right into it. I'd like to stick in the 4 cyl. range, and If I really want more out of it I''' plop a nice stage 2 on the front of it and call it a day. That's what I did on my 95 accord for about 650 bucks worth of parts and loved it.

 

look for a integra form 90-93 for a donor car, you can get alot of great parts to swap over. b18 engine, trans, front seats, rear disc brakes
