1986-1987 Civic Si to DOHC D16a1/ZC Swap 

Please release the wiring pdf I'm in need!

I get teary eyed seeing this. I think most likely just nostalgia of my 3 door 1.3L 4spd ‘85 Civic. One of the ones that just went away, replaced, and now missed. Awesome build!

Awesome that this information is back from the dead, I’m sure some of the info is on a old forum with dead photobucket links

I did this swap 18 years ago.. so much fun. Parts weren't easy to source even back then. I put in 1986 ITR browntop into 1987 CRX Si. Still was a monster after the swap! Used Integra ecu, wiring, front hub/brakes, axle, shift linkage, trans mount... You don't even need CAI. You can easily modify the airbox to take air from the right inner fender. Sounds awesome! Good luck brother!

So Sick and thanks for your hard work and Honda info you pass on to us all

Got that pdf?

I remember you yarding this from the red integra....I just spent all day spray freezing the sound deadining out of a 86 crx hardtop ....subbed

Great job brother, I did this swap many years ago on my CRX using the Integra harness and ECU, but I used the earlier Integra engine with the external coil, had to move a few pins around and extend a few wires but definitely wasn't a bad swap to do. Gonna subscribe to the channel, I love the attention to detail, that's good stuff man.

Very cool. Nicely done, too bad about the left side engine bracket but you made it work. Regarding the air box, the tube and airbox lid from the Integra fit right onto the lower portion of the air box. I've owned two Civic Si's that previous owners had done this swap on, also did this same swap on one of my CRX's (Honda Challenge H2 road race car) and just recently did the complete 1986 Integra swap into a 1987 Civic DX body.

There’s a mint black one near me… little over 3k with 150k on it with a MINT body and paint/interior. I had a 91 and I hate the rear on these but it’s growing on me. I lived my 91 so

Thanks a ton!!!! Just brought my 86 civic si to life and loving the Info!!!!! Right on Bro!!!

Wow I got two of these cars original stuff on all of them (85's), some front fenders toast, and two of them missing the front pieces between grill n d hood. I'm still thinking what to do, but thanks for your info and hard work bro.

And please keep the great content coming.. I've manage to swap my auto to manual because of your vids and im so great full for that

Replacement panels are being made by Marcus at HealToe.

You guys have the guide to the harness posted anywhere? I'm about to have to build one from scratch or buy some harnesses and follow your guide lol this whole ordeal has been a killer for me... but you guys gave me MASSIVE hope and confidence

Bro I just picked up this for my 87 si hatch tysm

Absolutely golden info, Thank's!

i use D16A13 at my SH4 sedan. So good for a while and i used a standard. Top Speed : 215- 220 kmh Not used timing belt tensioner and i must reduse and use a little bit shot timingbelt Not use power stering but i need an aircond. A little engineering to make engine mounting.

Sick af, awesome info

Hell yea been waiting for this vid. I have an 87 crx carb is there any extra wireing I'd have to do for the 89 integra swap? Thanks for the great work.

Great content...been waiting for an upload

Is that diagram available? I’m about to start wiring this weekend

Nicee bro

A nice job on the built .👍🏾 but I am looking for to CRX indicator light 88 and I would like to put my hands in a old school Honda Civic wagon can you help

I've seen the one piece hood that includes that front piece

I did that swap in 1998. Getting ready to rebuild mine.........Looks great! Did you have to cut the shifter rod length?

Do you sell engine harness ?

How can you tell what zc engine you have

I swapped a 87 rs d16a1 into my 88 integra ls 5speed, what zc dizzy do I need, because It runs fine on the 88 d16a1 dizzy but has a check engine light and code 9

David kane is the best on those swaps

What hubs did you use I seen you say a integra what years ? I’m doing this swap currently video helps a ton

Awesome bro is the white CRX any closer to complete u left us hanging 🥺

Hey guys left you a message on your website hopefully I can hear something pretty soon thanks

Hey i have have a 1989 integra and need a header any idea what header bolts up without modifications

DOHC D series? Am I going through a Mandela effect? Not once until today have I heard of a dohc D series.

🗣️ That's some Hot thrash

Can i get one of those heads... they never came to my country

I have a built d16a1 for boost but i have the wrong car i think?!? 1990 civic ex sedan ? Can this work?

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #HushMoney

Hey bro.. im am so frustrated.. I own a 95 accord and it was auto.. it had a 4500 rpm rev limit.. I swapped it to manual with ecu and gage cluster.. didn't fix it.. bought a f23a motor put it in did not fix it.. replaced the dizzy, fuel filter, oil pressure switch, vtec solenoid and still did not fix it.. the only thing I haven't replaced is the engine harness and fuel pump.. you think I might of gotten a bad gauge cluster since it seems like a chassis problem not engine problem?? Im at blood sweat and tears with this car.. and put money into it quit a bit.. if you can try to point me in the right direction it be awesome

Awesome video .......where can i find that side transmission mount

Those are literally the ugliest Honda's ever produced. Still though you did an awesome job on the swap. Clean oem looking.

What about the shift linkage
