if i can not get my hands on a carbed zc i am thinking of putting a prelude engine in has any one here done this if so can u give me some pointers

[83Rabbit]

which prelude engine?

[Ew4]

i forgot who it was, but someone managed to drop in an h22 in their rex.

its not that hard to convert a carbed car to fi. i have done it. plus if you a going to get a h22 you would have to convert it anyway. if $$$ isnt an issue get a b16a1. and get the parts to install it from hasport.com. a b16a swap is gonna cost around 3500-4000. a zc with fi conversion will probably cost you maybe 1500 or so.depends really on how cheap you get your engine and parts. a h22 will cost you a headache and more $$$ than either of these.

its a old one like 86

.... ive never heard of anyone swapping an old prelude engine into there 1g crx, or 3g civic, i suppose it is because the d16a's from the integra are better maybe? all depends on your situation, i mean, the prelude engine might do good, but then again i dont know anything about the old preludes.

i might turn it to fi but i dont no what to do do i use the full wiring harns or what if any one can help me that would be great

[crxmobber]

for the zc swap use the crx SI full body harness with the 87 integra engine harness. get a si fuel pump or aftermarket fuel pump. i used a holly, but i could've just used the stock one. you need to run a bigger fuel return line. i used napa rubber fuel line (cheap). i think you need the si tank. get a 87 integra pg7 ecu. get a 87 integra vacuum box, and im using the u.s. 87 integra intake manifold/throttle body because the zc manifold is incompatible with the us vacuume box.check out the hybrid site for the wiring changes for integra engine harness.and the rest of the swap you probably already know or have looked up before. if not pm me.
