I was just searching ebay and found this b16a1 swap for my crx which is what i wanted and it brings the linkage, tranny, motor, ecu, distributor, manifold and wire harnes......but it says that the harness is cut, unless I request it not to be cut(maybe more$) does it matter to me that its cut? They are asking 1500 with free shipping, is that good? also has anyone ever bought from ebay? Dont know if its a good site to trust.

 

I've bought 3, one never arrived. Don't worry about ebay, worry about the people on it. Shop smart, and be careful. I got fucked on one from a guy with just a couple feedback, go with the bigger places. Don't worry about the harness, you won't need it. 1500 for everything isn't bad.

 

You think I wont need the harness even though my crx is a dx?

 

Adding wires to the stock harness is easier.

 

but the plugs from the b16 harness might come in handy

 

I purchased my gsr from ebay, it was a importer of jdm engines. It was the only place I could find a hydro lsd swap. It came no problem, but ya, its the people on eaby that are shady, not ebay itself. My gsr was way clean.

What about motor mounts what did you use? also I was thinking about going with an ls swap for now until I had a little more money and then swap a vtec head on it later.....what do you guys think?

 

I wouldnt exactlly trust ebay , for buying a big item like that, shop around. Iam sure you can find good deals and motors if you try hard enough . Ill give you a website Jprmotorsport.com ask for Jimmy. That where I got my motor from 1st gen B16 for $ 1600 for a complete motor, Axels, Pr3 ECU, motor mounts etc, or you can go with LS-VTEC either one. Good luck

 

Pay a little more now rather then paying a ton more later

yeah i got burned off ebay too.. sucks ***** man. i thought i was being careful. go with big reputable sellers (if that makes any sense)

 

be careful

 

my friedn bought a D16z6 and had it installed by the person(we were younger and none of us had ever swapped b4) all for 500 bucks...he got a good ebay deal. be carefull of the people you buy from. ebay stores = better, ebay people = look for alot of feedback...if they have under 100 at least check there history...stay away if they havea 100 diollars in baby clothes for .02 cents each that = bad njust do research b4 u buy u should be alright

 

LS would be alot easier. Less wiring to deal with. parts are easier to come by (if you are keeping it obdo. bump for me cause I'm cool.
