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 will fail

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.

why's that? I'm not going to argue with you, but I would like to know your reasonings.

to much to explain ...put it this way though bud ask your self a ? what motor does that car come with from factory..?

..there is no way..

I've seen many motor swaps pass emissions... I think you're just talkin out your *** 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....

eh dick if u seen many please show me bc i seen so many come to my shop and sencors hooked up everything done to T and emissions to high for stock output..

Bullet

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

back the timing down and everything will be fine

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 . Just a GOVT cash grab.
