Not to be mean, but I think you'd have better luck with this question on an EK board. I don't know of one member here with and EK.
Also, is that a common swap for an EK? I hear of a lot of people swapping B16 and B18s but not an old D16A1. I guess it gives you something like 10hp?
I would like to buy an EK soon. Can you tell me what site to go to when you find one? I don't like Honda Tech that much.

This isnt an EK forum. No, we cant help you.
Its a good engine, but not what most would call a wise choice for the EK chassis.

My thoughts exactly. I tried to be friendly, but all I got was a plate full of turd. Well, it seemed like that anyway.

The mounting is way different, idk why you would even attempt it when the Blacktop ZC damn near bolts in.
You will have to do some major fabracation work to stick that motor in a 96-00. And depending on if its a HX,DX,CX Gain 10hp, or if its a EX loose 20hp.

you DO know that the motor you wanna put into that ek of yours is about 10 years older than your car. and if you live in an emissions controlled state that would be totally illegal.... not to mention, a waste of time and money. have fun "SMOKING" anyone with a d16a1 in that ek chassis.

Theres no hater'ers here, everybody just thinks its a retarded swap because well IT IS.
Theres no reason to do it when theres a shit load of other motors that will drop right in, and gain you more HP.
