Honda Civic RTi 4WD engine swap

[noojra]

Is it possible to swap the D16A Engine from a Civic RTI with a TypeR B16B or some other Vtec Engine?

[noojra]

Yes RTI the chassis # is EK5 and It has a D16A Engine

I'm kind of a noob at this, but If it were possible to swap the motor what do you think some of my major concerns would be?

eg.
engine mounts, clutch plate, transmition, etc

Doesn't he mean "FWD"

 

[anfrey]

no gabebauman, the RTi is 4wd.

 

[gabebauman]

Ohhhh...that's right...it was a wagon...I went to school with a kid who's mom had one. Sorry about that fellas.

i think you're confusing things gabe.... the RTi is NOT a wagon.

the civic RTi (EK5) is a sedan, powered by the d16a hyper 16-valve engine... and it is 4wd.

here are some RTi pics:

i like how there's a rear windshield wiper.. wish my coupe had that

 

[Carlip]

Mines got one anfrey!

 

[anfrey]

lucky you....

two things i really wish my coupe had:
1) rear windshield wiper
2) hatchback like the integra

 

[Carlip]

The rear wiper is crap to be honest, only has one setting, on or off....grr, no intermitant....! it's poo.

 

[anfrey]

my xsara's rear wiper is awesome... at least i like it... when it's on, it's intermitent, when it's on it's on... the water squirts out if you turn the knob past on (it springs back to the on position)

Ehem *clears throat*










About my question

 

[anfrey]

lol sorry... i truly have no idea... i don't know how different the 4wd drivetrain is, and what it requires.... also, i don't know which ECU would have to be used and if it's possible.

 

[noojra]

Ok, but could a B16B normaly swap with a D16A eg CRXsi?
