Zc conversion into 1.3 carb box shape.

[mcd22]

I know its not a crx but due to the vast similarities, I figured some people might pick up some information. Feel free to ask questions as this is my 1st build thread and its easy to forget stuff.
Its for a customer I'm doing the job for. It is a 1.3 carb and gona have a d16 dohc non vtec when complete. The doner car is a crx which I have big personal plans for in the not so far future for dragging.
Because both engines are D series, All mounts are a direct fit. Drive shafts and hubs will be used from the 1.6 doner car.
There is no engine wiring loom at all in the 1.3 so I've stripped the one completely out of crx and trimed it down or modified it to operate in the civic.
The car will be fully polybushed in the build also.
I'l let the pictures do the talking for now.

My doner car, It will look the part again!

Old carb engine.

I forgot to start taking pictures earlier. Sorry.


Original crx wiring loom.

My almost complete loom. It is designed just to operate engine function's. I will be leaving the existing loom in the civic.

The suspension system are very similar in both cars. This is a few pics of me fitting polybushes. These are the front control arms.

Is there any plans for interior or exterior of the car? Should be a cool setup

[mcd22]

He's a 1st year in collage so financially, he's restricted. He does have a great interest, in keeping it very clean and i reckon he will hold onto it for some time.

I got the engine started today. Everything working great. Only one code. 11. This is very unusual code, as I'm sure many of ye are aware off. I spent 4 hours figuring it out. Unusual ecu this too. It doesn't use the standard long blinks and short blinks. It counts them all on short blinks. It is from an 1988 car too which was a very early PGM-FI.
Counting the likes of code 17 is a pain, Ha Ha(speed sensor).
Anyway, code 11 is a barometer sensor fitted on the ecu box externally. Its referred to as an IMA sensor. I'll show a pic of it later.

The car left my garage sucessfully, last sat night. Alls completed.
