87 crx

[mattwandell]

i just got a 87 crx for $200, and i want to but a Sir 1 B16a in it. i know im gonna need a wiring harnes and i found one by hasport and it comes with the harnes and the ecu but i dont know what else im gonna need to do the swap. am i gonna need engine mounts, shift linkage, or anything else? i just need someone to tell me what i need. thanks.

[b16a1]

all of the above is my guess

and what about the exhaust? will it hook up to a second gen engine? maybe you need to get a custom exhaust and such... but that migth be something to worry about later

acels, shift linkage, mounts, crx si fuel system, wireing harness, and a lot of time.

takes about 8-10 hours. you'll need mounts (HAsport) the wiring harness. shift linkage, new exhaust. I've done this swap 5 times well... two of those were B18s
but anyway... SCC had a tutorial on it November of 2002, take a look at that.. also if you want I can tell you how I do it

[UltimX]

damnit, they banned my isp so i can't edit. oh well. I ment aXels...

Ol'Skoolrex_ph: u need axels don't you? unless you get different knuckles?

ok 16
what is SCC?

[mattwandell]

about the motor mounts. would it work if i got stock motor mounts out of a 90-91 crx and welded them into my engine bay or should i just but the ones hasport makes?

[UltimX]

SCC is a car mag.

You mean the B16 mounts and weld them in? because the second gen crx mounts don't bolt up to the b16 if i am not mistaken. You can either weld or buy the mount kit.

[ol'skoolrex_PH]

you'll need integra/crx hybrid axles. you'll also need the HAsport mounts. you can't get the second gen mounts cause they won't even end up in the same place. get the HAsport ones, sure they are nearly 700 but they are worth it.
