Re: b17 into 88 crx si (b1788crx)
You`ll need to get a custom one, or convert the B17 to OBD0 using a SiR I B16A distributor and fuel injectors.
I have done this swap, and my friend (owner of the car) made his own custom harness converting the whole car to OBD1. Let`s just say he was saying a lot of choice words

Re: b17 into 88 crx si (poison)
I didn't think it was very hard at all.
But I'm not intimidated by wiring.
I lub the b17, it's a nice engine. I just wish the ******* didn't dick me out of 400 bucks for doing the swap!!!

Haha, I`m not intimidated by wiring at all either.
B17 is damn nice engine.
Did the dude free load you for doing the swap or what? Believe me.....been there done that.

Re: b17 into 88 crx si (poison)
I actually took pictures, step by step dismantling the connectors, building the composite harness, and made my own HTML x-over chart, from 3-4 different source to eliminate single sources of error.
Started on a site, and then just lost steam....
Yeah, we agreed on cash, his tranny in the swap went a week after it started running, he paid 900 bucks to get the tranny rebuilt, then he avoided me for weeks, paid ppl to install and flush mount his vteck-controller (y0h!). Now his car was broken into in hartford, and his stuff stolen...

There is more to it than just buying the Hasport sub-harness.
I think you need to dismantle BOTH cars' looms and and mix and match wires and insert the missing VTEC sub-harness wires INTO the CRX OBD0 loom. If you want it stock looking at least. And then swap connectors at the shock towers and repin them.
Can PHiZ or Poison confirm if I'm on the right track here?
I've been worrking on the wiring now for 3 months. Am I on the right track?

Ok here is what is done.........it is an Si.......all that is needed is a subharness.....the Si engine harness will be retained along with shock tower plugs. The Hasport Subharness comes already taped with loom and a plug to seperate the engine side from the car side. Why go through the trouble of trying to tear wire looms apart to add wires in. Mine looks factory and clean.....without putting wires into factory loom. i installed a B16 into my 89 Teg. Are you going to stay OBD-0 or are you OBD-1?

Yes. I'm going OBD1 and I'm trying to figure a way around the wiring, without having to solder anything, A: because I like to do things the hard way.(to gain knowledge.
) And B: I haven't soldered anything in years and I don't feel comfortable enough with my lack of soldering skill to do it correctly. And I'm challenged by the mystery of making it work by just repinning and rerouting wires, just to SEE if it CAN be done.
And I have other cars to drive, so I don't NEED it done quickly.

Re: b17 into 88 crx si (4crx4me)
The only think I HAD to solder was the conversion harness, which you could conceivably buy. I repinned just about everything else, and used some butt connectors.

YES, that is exactly what was done when I was doing a B17 swap into a 91 STD Civic.
People can always do it ghetto-style, but I always like to have pins in the right place and stock looking.
Good pointers..

I refused to use butt connectors unless I was not able to make a pin connector or pin location on the shock tower plugs, otherwise it's soldering everything else.

Thanks again, Poison and you too, PHiZ. I need ALL the encouragement I can get.
Poison, I hope you won't mind a PM from me in the future if I need some clarifications on things
