'89 Integra DOHC Engine in a '87 CRX Si
 
Hey Guys

I'm looking to buy a '87 CRX Si.

The owner told me it was a carb car but he swaped the engine to a
'89 Integra ls 1.6L DOHC non-vtec PGM-FI.

Is this a proper swap or will I have a ton of problems with it?
What should I look for? and will I have a problem passing the e-test?

Any help is greatly appreciated, Pete

e-test won't necessarily fail... it all depends on how well the swap was done. But if it were me... I would go out lookin for an 88 and leave the 87 for someone else.

I've seen many motor swaps pass emissions... I think you're just talkin out your ass and don't really know a thing your sayin

actually due to it being a newer swap it should pass as long as the obd0 wiring to the ecu was done right and there is no faulty sensors or CEL blah blah....

no prob... put a second gen b16 into an EF... the emissions equipment on the second gen is WAY better than that on the ol 1.5l ... blow clean no probs

Just get a fake E-Test...I mean the car is so old it should be the last one its ever getting. Then when the Etest is done pull the cat off and Run a test pipe.E-Test's are :bs: . Just a GOVT cash grab.
