lunchbox_2021 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 sorry about that guys its an 1986 SI with a 5 speed
Kegger Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Yeah you are gonna be hard pressed to find parts for that motor. Best bet performance wise would be a swap.
James Matteu Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Suspension: shave or remove the bump-stop in the rear and turn the adjustment bolt in the front, instant 1" drop. Turbo: visit TurboRex.com. You will need the DX exhaust manifold. Swap: the do-it-yourself beginners swap, find a D16 from an 1987 Acura Integra. Body kits: good luck, Mugen had the best kit and those are rare now. These days people usually just rivet on pieces of plastic as air dams when racing. I say do the swap, slap on some 1987 Integra wheels and an OEM Honda "DOHC Programmed Fuel Injection" sticker on each side and call it a day. Save some money up and then turbo it another day.
Hatch92 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 there is always the option of swapping a B18b into it the only problem your gonna have is the wiring issues.
James Matteu Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 there is always the option of swapping a B18b into it the only problem your gonna have is the wiring issues. There are clearance issues. I have seen one being raced with a hole cut in the hood and a shallower oil pan.
Hatch92 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 ?? i've never heard of that. i've heard of it with the b20's swappin it.
James Matteu Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 ?? i've never heard of that. i've heard of it with the b20's swappin it. This was back in 99, so motor mounts for 1G CRXs may have come along way since then.
lunchbox_2021 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 thanks for the advise. the only reason i was thinking of keeping the 1.5 was i have tranny work done, i took the 1st 3 gears and dif from an integra and put those into it and that makes a nice combo. there isnt to much motor work done but i have like every suspension part i could find so if there is any other suggestions that would be great
