Default How hard is it to swap a B18B into a HF CRX that has a ZC swap already?

Just wondering what all I need. I had a 94 integra LS, turbo'd...I did everything myself, so I'm doing the swap myself on this one. Its not that I'm not knowledgeable about doing this stuff, its just I never once thought I was going to need to swap a motor, but since I totalled the teg. I do now.

I'm guessing I need new mounts, and some kind of cable/hydro tranny conversion?

bump this up. Its OBD1, and does anybody know the weight the car will be?

Its not hard at all, it would be no different from swapping the LS into a stock HF considering the ZC swap is a direct bolt in like the factory HF motor.

Yes, you will need a B series mount kit and a cable to hydro conversion kit if you plan to use the hydro tranny. If so, look nowhere else but HASport. You'll also need an ODB0 to OBD1 ECU conversion harness.

Because most people assume that a cable tranny is used in a 88-91 Civic/CRX so they always say you need 90-93 Integra axles. If you have the 94 Integra axles and intermediate shaft, they will work no problem. They are actually the correct axles to use since you are using a 94 hydro tranny. You can use 90-93 axles and intermediate shaft but you would have to change the driver's side tranny seal to a 90-93 seal.
