Hi guys,
My 3rd engine conversion is about to begin but Im just doing a bit of research prior to it. Never ventured into Honda territory before so it should be a good experience..
I have two options;
First Option - Drop a JDM B16A SiR from an EF civic into my ED Civic..
Or Two - Drop a ZC engine from an EF CRX into it.
They are both front cuts so i should have almost everything for the conversion. (Cept the fuel system)..
Anyway, here are my troubles..
IF i choose the B16A route, I've read at a few US threads that this engine requires engine mount mods.. Im not too keen on playing around with this and was hoping it was just a bolt on jobbie.. I know the B16A from the EG and later all need the engines mount mods, linkages etc to fit into the 88-91 civics, but will the B16A from the SiR ED/EF civic need these as well or is it a straight bolt on?? Im planning on buying the front cut this week so any help and/or feedback would be greatly appreciated..
Cheers
