i got a question errbody, i found a good deal on a b162 COMPLETE for 1000. will it fit directly on a 88 crx si? please help. what is a b16a2? usdm or jdm? i really dont have a clue... get back at meH

 

Wow. Search....

 

what cha mean "wow"? is that a good deal or does it sound bad?

 

for just the engine, you could find cheaper. It doesn't drop right in... I went with a Z6 that I am now in the process of turbocharging because I didn't want to buy all the little extra's that it takes to get the b-series into the crx. Granted some people have been able to do things cheaper by making alot of parts themselves. You can buy the mounts to "bolt-in" the engine and tranny, but the rest is your on your own.

A b16a2 is a 92-95 engine, OBD1. Which means you will also need an ecu wiring conversion harness also. Unless you re-wire the engine to Non-OBD specs. You will also need the corresponding ecu also. Good luck.

usdm from the 94-95 delsol vtec and 99-00 civic si.

Assuming it's a complete swap you need to figure out if you want to run it obd1 or obd0 and if you want to use the hydro tranny. Your car is obdo and uses a cable tranny. I reccomnend the obd1 conversion because it has more tuning options. The synchros in the hydro tranny are stronger than cable tranny synchros.

There's a million threads on this swap.
