Default OBD-1 b16 into CRX

I have the b16 swap from my damaged 93 coupe. I know the engine is in good shape, and the tranny and basically know what im getting. I know I will have to run the hydro to cable converter. But as far as wiring what will I need. Everything is OBD-1 and I would like it to stay that way. I want to run hondata. I have the coupe at my disposal, basically I can strip it. What would I have to do with the shift linkage, if anything? Any help would be much appreciated.

from the 93 use the 4 wire o2 sensor, ecu, dizzy. Get a conversion harness from blown90hatch.
Not sure if you can use your 93 shift linkage. I found a DA linkage and shortened it.
If your crx is dpfi, you'll need to convert to mpfi.

My CRX is MPFI. SO just a conversion harness and shift linkage and I will be set? And of course the mounts and converter (hydro-cable)

yea...i'd also get a new timing belt/water pump and change as many gaskets as possible before you drop the motor in. vtec and knock sensor wiring must be added.

What axles do I need? I have heard integra axles will work but others disagree.

Why would you say that? The engine is already OBD-1. Don't I just need the conversion harness?

no all you need is the conversion harness,its plug and play,it comes with instructions and all.hey for any reason you chane your mind you can always sell me your distributer that about it.it sems like you have every thing coverd,and you can use 90-93 integra axles there the same thing and all have th same part #.

I think he meant wiring up your 93 engine harness to plug into your CRX. He's saying just use the engine harness out of your CRX and modify it to plug into your B16.

If you dont know how to do wiring ask nikitad, Blown90Hatch, or droppedcrxsi for a custom engine harness that is plug and play and also ask them for a OBD 0 to OBD 1 conversion harness. If you decide to buy that stuff instead of wiring it up yourself, make sure you get both of them from the same person.

EDIT: Forogot to mention that I had to do all that above stuff because I had a DX. I dont know what kind of changes you Si or HF guys have to do to the engine harness. So maybe you just need to swap a few wires around, I dunno. I'll let the guys with HF's and Si's answer that for you.

nothing need to be changeg when using a si or hf,the only thing you need to do is run the wires for vtec engagement just like you would do with any other car not allready equiped
