engine swap help...

[sam]

hey guys im gonna be swapping my old tired d16a8 for a low km jdm ZC, having all the aussie parts in the car like the speedo that goes to 240 etc, will the engine swap straight over or will i need a new cluster?? and will i need any other parts, or will it be a simple straight swap.

YOu're talking bout the same engine right, both DOHC non-vtec just one j-spec? If that is the case the swap should be simple. Your current cluster is fine, shouldn't need to change anything.

u can keep the cluster and use it
unless the JDM ZC cluster has lower k's haha

Where are you located ?
I changed my cluster and never told them and when i showed them my pink slip with a massive differance in kilometers they didnt say any thing.

is your new engine from a 88 crx or a Si civic ?
