Ok, I've just bought a Cordia as a project car, the body is very straight, interrior is great, but the head on the engine is warrped. So I figure a bigger better engine may aswell be put in right?
I've been doing some research on these cars but still dont kno a lot of technical stuff about them, so can people tell me is it possible to put a DOHC 4g63 engine in them without spending or doing anything riduclous? also I kno that I will probly get abused for this but... is it possible to get a B series honda Vtec in their once again without spending anyhting stupid (I ask this because my cousin just upgraded the engine in his civic and has a very Strong B18c7 that he will sell me for a very good price). any help will be very appreciated!!!
So my best bet is to go with the 4g63 out of the VR4? am I going to have to swap gearboxes? or can the one in the cordia fit with the engine?
The gearboxes fit straight up...........no problem.
would the engine out of a Evo 3-4 work with them? becuase I saw a Evo4 front cut that was a fairly decent price
Be careful of the EVO engines................they will fit but make sure it has a 6 bolt crank.(Flywheel)..........not 7.
if its got a 7 is it possible to have it swapped to a 6 (sorry for harrasing you but I just dont want to make any idiot descions on this and put my self in a bad spot)
Simple answer..........no, the 7 bolts run a different block pattern and a crank girdle............just easier to find a 6 bolt, that way you won't have to stuff around while flywheels and clutches.
Ok mate, thanks for ur help I really appreciate it. Hopefully I can track down one of these engines and get it in, re spray the body and away I go!!
hey guys i want to put a body kit on my 86 cordia, does anyone know were to get a kit or know of any that will fit up.
cheers

Welcome to Cordiafreaks,
Plenty of us have put DOHC's in the cordia they are basically a direct fit.
You will need to fabricate a passenger side engine mount, all other mounts simply bolt in.
The only real money grabber is either running an aftermarket computer or swapping the cordia wiring for the VR4 one.
