For the rest that are watching, he's trying to put a Blacktop D16A1 into his '86 CRX DX and is looking for all the help we can give him to do the swap himself, or with as little help as neccessary.


Does the engine in your CRX still run?

ok my motour still runs but im looking to get fuel injection, and from the d16 i can make alot more power then mine!! also im getting sick of this carberated motor!

[crazi-85crx]

Okay, I ask because you may want to hold off on the swap until you are capable of doing it or having someone help with it.


Let's try and compile a list of EVERYTHING that you need and needs to be done. I'm sure everyone will chip in their knowledge on the subject to help out.

I was wondering whats the differences between the colors of the engine? I keep hearing about browntop, redtop, blacktop, pinktop. I dunno what the difference is! Someone fill me in please.

browntop: 86-87 Acura Integra. Vacuum advance distributor. 113hp.
blacktop: 88-89 Acura Integra. Electronic advance distributor. higher dome on pistons. 118hp.

they will both bolt into the 84-87 chassis without the need for aftermarket mounts.

yes, but only by a little. and i think it would be more advantageous to go for the blacktop.

My advice, buy an '86-'89 Integra parts car.

This way you'll have everything you need, you'll know the condition of the motor, and you can sell the parts you don't need.

You can probably find a parts car on www.craigslist.org for less than $500.

[crazi-85crx]

I found this article on swapping in the browntop; it covers all the essentials to the swap, aside from the wiring.

Strudel should be able to help out with the wiring, i'm sure.

[3gencivic]

if it helps its 100% teg wireing from t heengine bay to th edash to the fuse box to the rear of the car so really it woudl jsut be amater of taking the old harrness out and thie one in. so wireing isnt that had.
