I checked on hybrid honda and searched but didn't find much good information. What exactly is necessary for a B16A swap in a 88-91 Civic besides the engine, tranny & ecu? I realize there is extra wiring but I can't find many good writeups on the swap regarding axles, hubs, mounts, sensors, wiring etc...

 

Let me help you:
http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/ http://b16a.honda-perf.org/ http://www.hasport.com http://www.phatwhippinCRX.20m.com

check them out and then let us know what you still need to know. Also just use google and do a search for B16 in crx. there are tons of sites out there.

 

91' teg axles
91' teg throttle and clutch cables
91' teg upper and lower rad hoses

aftermarket mount kit such as has sport, place racing, hcp

aftermarket shiftlinkage or you can cut and weld your stock linkage

aftermarket wiring harness or add the 4 wires yourself (vtec solenoid, vtec oil
pressure, o2 sensor, and knock sensor) if you have a dx its slightly more complicated.

you only need to change hubs if you have a dx, you can use ones out of an si

 

if you have an HF you have to change hubs. not DX

 

Thanks! This is all for a friend of mine, we are making a little gofast beater for him, and I want to know what it takes to actually mount it. I checked out hasport and they've got some pricey mounting kits. Is there another way to do it without modifying the chassis? Did the SiR's or whatever in japan that these engines actually came from have different mounts in the chassis?

 

you could always cut and weld, but if i where you, just dish out the extra cash and do it right the first time.

 

yes they have different mounting positions in japan...........just by the mount kit youll be happy in the long run!

 

Is there an alternative to the billet kit?

 

i used Hasport mounts and they work great...they are pricey...so u may wanna try HCP...i hear good things about em...BUT i hear bad things about place racing all the time so stay clear of them...Blown90Hatch on here sells HCP mounts and adj.linkage for 410 shipped i think...IM him if u like...oh yea HCP uses 4 mounts instead of 3 on the HASports...both have poly inserts
