89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Build! [UPDATE]
Hey guys,
So I'm kinda new to this whole forum posting. I recently bought an 89 CRX Si shell with an Si-R front end. I also had got a 94 B18C1 GSR from a tech at honda where I was working at for a while (not anymore :( ) lol. So I just started on this project and I'm hoping to get it running soon. Here are some pics of the car! Any help and advise on what to do or what else to put in would be nice. :bounce: Modifications: -Si-R Front End :D -B18C1 GSR -YS1 Short Geared Tranny -ACT Stage 2 Clutch and Heavy Duty Pressure Plate -OBD1 Chipped P28 ECU -Innovative Motor Mounts :? -Custom Shift Linkage with Energy Suspension Bushings -Megan Racing Short Shifter -2 1/4" Piping with high flow cat! -That's it for right now, More to come for sure :) https://i43.tinypic.com/2mgps1.jpg When I first Got It! https://i44.tinypic.com/2ryg4g3.jpg Haven't put the bumper signals on yet! https://i39.tinypic.com/ej5qqh.jpg So Loney :( https://i40.tinypic.com/2qsqsya.jpg Wire tuck was underway! https://i43.tinypic.com/34oztom.jpg With a homie's valve cover! https://i40.tinypic.com/29enjly.jpg My new valve cover :) https://i40.tinypic.com/347fj4n.jpg ACT Stage 2 clutch is in =) https://i39.tinypic.com/2w6cq55.jpg Just need the tranny put in! |

Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Na not yet, I didn't have any bolts :P

Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
for the owner of the crx
i actually cant really help u but i do have a question for you did u notice the bottom front bracket that goes behind the radiator which originally holds a motor mount that holds the trasmition here s my question did u had to remove that because it seems that it might b a problem with the swap cuz am also doing something similar but am working on a b18b thanx |
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
I'm like soooo jealous of that front end and motor swap. :P
Good lookin man! |
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
good start
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Yes you have to remove that front motor mount. I haven't got around to it yet, but it should be coming off by this saturday. You also have to dent in the frame by where the alternator is going to go to have some clearance.

Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Hmm well I bought the motor off of one of the techs I used to work with at honda. I bought it for 800 with engine, tranny, shift linkage, and mounts. It had two bent valves but it was no biggie. In total I say I've spent about 2000 so far, not too bad Lol.
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
I got a problem guys :/
My injectors are getting power to them and they turn on but now they aren't getting enough fuel to them so the car doesn't stay on? Any ideas??? |
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Main relay?
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
No we checked that already. Ahhhh frustrating!
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Wiring, ECU, are you using a resistor box?
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
hmmm no i don't think i'm using the resister box since they're obd1 injectors and wiring
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Alright. If the box is gone, make sure you wired it correctly.
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
I dont think I have the box, well the car already had a b series motor in it and so i'm not really sure if the resistor box wiring is done right. I was reading that you have to soldier some resister box cables or something like that
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
If you have the resistor box it's gonna be to the right of the brake booster. And yeah, check the wiring.
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Finally Got It to turn on right, bought a new fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator and new battery and it turned on fine now lol. Had a crack in the oil pan so I got a new oil pan from a friend and now I just need a clutch wire stay bracket. :/ Anybody Got one?
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
i just bought a '88 crx with a gsr swap in it. not sure why, but the vtec wont work. i went ahead and bought a chipped p72 for it and still cant feel it pull. idk. ill just have to keep working at it. mine dont look NEAR as clean as yours though. nice work.
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
Dang that's koo. I bought a chipped p28. What obd is your p72?
Would you like to sell your ecu? I would like a p72 |
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
i just got a si crx it has a y8 for 1000 and bought a b20z with gsr head and gsr trans for 400
|
Re: 89 CRX Si B18C1 GSR Swap Project!
THe car is now running, I drove it home today, very loud due to open headers, need to fix the flange. Anyways the car is running fine except I couldn't use my P28 ecu. I have been reading and it seems like you can't be running an ond1 ecu with and obd0 distributor? Can anybody confirm this?
