Default Need a step by step parts and procedure listing for a LS swap into a 89 CRX Si

Hey i gotta LS motor and a 89 CRX Si. From what I've heard this is the cheapest and most convenient swap for a pretty decent performance pick up without having v-tec. I'm gonna get the motor rebuilt and drop it in but i need a list of all parts i will need and the steps on the procedure. I know some stuff because my brother and i put a b16a into his 90 hatch but we got some guy to do the wiring and a bunch of other stuff. i just would like a full list of this to make it easy. like whether i need to change axle splines or the hubs and all that stuff and if so which ones. it would be greatly appreciated! thanx alot!

Everyone is going to say search.. Since its been covered 100+ Times and all the info is available but Ill help you out..

To put an LS into an 89 Si You will need the following :

A mount Kit ( I recomend hasport ) + a rear integra mount that goes to the motor ( 90-93 integra )
A shift linkage ( again hasport or you can cut and weld your LS Linkage )
your hubs will be fine.
as for ECU ( recomend OBD1 conversion ) better than OBD O
for this you will need an OBD1 computer, o2 sensor and dizzy ( dont know

what year your motor is you may have this stuff

if your going to do the OBD1 conversion you will need a conversion harness

Other than this thats all your really going to need. Im pretty sure the wiring is Plug in play unless your doing the OBD1 conversion.

You will also need to dent in the drivers side frame rail for alternator clearance and run 90-93 integra rad hoses.

Good luck.
