i have a 92 civic dx hatch. the most cost efficient motor seems to be the b20 from the crv. i could probably get one out of a junked 97 crv with like 80k on it from a junkyard.(motor, exhaust manifold, distributor, etc...) then i will get an ls intake manifold, ls tranny, hasport mounts and axels. and it will be ready to install, now how about wiring? i haven't seen any wiring harnesses that will work...anybody have any ideas with a link because i can't find any. on to my next question, will i be able to get to 10psi safely with a custom turbo kit and decent tuning? will the stock sleeves hold up? i can get a golden eagle block guard if it will help. i wish i could go with a b16 but i don't have the extra money, unless someone knows where i can find a cheap b16. thanks for any help. do you think the b20 turbo hatch is a good idea?

 

use your stock harness, b20/turbo
info how safe on 10 psi you need to goto fi and find out.

 

You dont have to get the hasport mounts or axles. You can use stock b series mounts and axles.

For the wiring, you can either:
modify your stock harness to fit the b20. This will include changing your distributor, alternator and injector plugs to obd2 plugs
or
Get an obd2 ls harness. It will fit all the plugs on the motor and also plug into your civic with no modifications.
Then just plug in an obd1 LS ecu and your set.

 

use your civic harness!
