Would it be possible to do an Auto to manual swap in a 1st gen CR-V with an Integra transmission?
I have a supercharged CR-V with the B20b, and the AWD system and the auto transmission is really limiting me. Would it be possible to install for example an Integra Type R transmission in that car? What other hardware would I need, I am assuming ECU from a manual CR-V, pedals, master cylinder (Integra or CR-V)? etc. kind of a wierd project, but if anyone has any info I would be gratefull.

Yes it is possible. Since it is a B-series engine, then the conversion will be VERY similar (if not the same as) to doing the conversion in a Civic/Integra body.
Do a search for auto to manual conversions and you'll find lots of info.
The basics you'll need obviously are:
Transmission
Clutch/flywheel/pressure plate assembly
Clutch pedal
Assorted lines/bolts
Then depending on your car, you may or may not need axles, transmission mounts, intermediary shaft, starter, etc. Again, depending on your car/application, you might not need all the things listed there. For example, I ran my stock automatic LS ECU when I swapped it to a manual. I kept my automatic brake pedal, cluster, and center console.
Unfortunately, not too many people do work with CR-V bodies. Good luck.

I am guessing I will need a custom transmission mount. I am also unsure what complications the RT4WD system will involve.

Which tranny mount? If its the rear, let me know what you end up doing if you get to it before I do. I'm trying to bolt the CR-V's manual 4wd tranny into my sol and I'm running into a bit of trouble with that rear mount.
Hang on a sec, you want to disable your RT4WD in favor of a manual tranny?

Then you're stuck with the stock tranny unless you want to fork out several thousand bucks for a custom tranny.

Your not gonna be able to bolt the transfer case up to it. What's wrong with a 5-speed from a 1st gen crv? If you dont like the gearing you may be able to swap the integra gears in. (but i dont know that for sure)
