- Sat May 01, 2010 6:38 pm #191348 I didn't know where else to post this question so if i posted it in the wrong area sorry.I'm planning on buying a 1989 Acura Integra for a auto x or just a fun project an use my coupe for a dd. My question is for the people that know about the first gen Integra's, if there's a way to swap a z6 into it an what would i have to do to get it in??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only major difference being the twin cam action of the 'Teg engine versus the single slammer of the Z6. But don't tae my word for it, I'm a 3rd gen guy to the core.

Also to be honest the suspension of a 1st gen integra is made up of torsion bars and well lets just say isnt as good in handleing as lets say a independent dual control arm suspension since really all the 1st gen integra has is a shock lower control arm torsion bar and hub.....

but its a nice car dont get me wrong and has a cult following lol exspecially those dealing with the dohc d16a1 and the similar 1st gen rex and that year civic.... redpepperracing.com is a good site as well.....but i doubt itd be worth it to put a Z6 into that car
