Hey guys Im pretty new to Honda-tech but i have been reading posts for a while now, but anyway, I have a 89 Crx si. I am thinking about doing a a swap and i would like to no mainly what it takes. I am probley gonna do a B16A1 SIR1 JDM swap.
Mainly i need to no secrets and just mainly what it takes.
(i have the garage,tools,and car. i just need to no what to purchase besides the motor, tranny, ecu, axles ext.)

also its late and im tierd so my spelling sucks, sorry.

thanks

 

I would also like the b16a sir swap, and I look at http://www.hmotorsonline.com at their full swap for that. It has everything you need there.

It will take time, money, and a little patience and some messing with a multimeter, but that doesn't look like the hardest thing to do. Make sure you do have a multimeter though, I find that it is one of the best things to have when I am working on cars.

Things it will require are the mounts, modified shift linkage, and I can't think of the rest. There are a few topics about this. Search h-t for more info.

 

Check my sig, it has a how to on the b16a

 

so does my sig :wink

 

i would be carefull down in fairfield.just asking for your car to get jacked.most importantly beer. have you ever dropped a motor before to install a new one? what ever you do stay away from napa valley customs.if you dont want to take the task on go down to vallejo and ask what they would charge down at azn, i here there pretty good.i can try and dig a phone # up for you in a couple of hours.

 

Im doing the swap with my dad in my garage. My car is pretty much a sleeper and im not gonna deal with any shops or car groups. thanks a lot on the posts guys, and those websites help me out a lot too.
Im probley gonna purchase my motor from hmotorsonline.com.
also where is a good place for to get mounts?

 

hmo sells hasport mounts, they sell everything you will need, mounts, hasport linkages, hasport wiring harnesses whatever you need for the swap they will have it,

If you are in california you are going to have problems with the bar and ref with a jdm b16a so you might want to think twice about that and put more thought into it before you buy anything.

YA YA, another great source!!

 

What b16 motor could be bared? i was thinking to get the b16a1 swap from hmotorsonline.com then getting a b16a3 block and switching everything over, that way i could say its out of a 94-95 del-soul. Any other ideas anyone?

 

you dont need to switch the block,you can use everyt hing from the pr3 except the ecu,distributer and you need a conversion harness,plus you need to use 4 wire o2 sensor instead of the single wire you have now.

I'd buy a helms manual for the engine and d/l the one for your car. Unless they have the manuals online for the del sol also? A helms will probably be one of your best friends.
