I thought it might come in handy for everyone to post up if they have completed or are soon doing their D16a1 integra engine swap, post what car they did it in, and if the car was FI or carb. Since this is one of the most common and practical swaps for our generation of cars, as it is mostly a straight forward swap, and provides the most output at the lowest cost, I think this could benefit members that are thinking about the swap, and have questions.
Instead of posting numerous new threads, they can come to this thread, and PM a couple members that have done the swap with possibly the same kind of car they want to do it in.
I'll start it off...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donor car: 1988 Acura Integra LS (blacktop D16a1)
Receiving car: 1987 Honda Civic Hatch 1500-S (carb'd 1.5)
Status: Bought donor car as of about a month ago, slowly working on carefully taking out everything I need, labelling, and getting ready for the swap later on.
Plans: Strip the D16a1, clean clean clean, low compression pistons, Block tank clean....assemble parts to be needed for boost! Civic includes GR-2's, Tokico springs..awaiting torsion bars, etc, etc.
