First off this is a 1989 Honda CRX Si w/ B16A Swap,

Question #1:
The CRX I got had the headlights stolen out of it, I thought no big deal I'll just get new headlights. After looking around I see that they are much much much more expensive than I had anticipated. Does anyone know where I can find them for a good price? (Please only online stores, independent sellers/ebay is just too risky)

Question #2:
I need to buy a new intake cause the one that was on the car is not correct. I was thinking of getting an AEM Hybrid Intake for a B16 Swap, but I don't want to shell out that kinda of money unless I know for sure it's going to work. So do you guys know of any intakes that will bolt up without ANY modification with a b16A Swap? I was thinking of maybe an HKS Mega Flow since it is so small. Here is a picture of the engine bay when I bought it.

#1: Best place to buy used parts is on forums and/or eBay. Gotta learn to trust people

#2: Don't quote me on it, but i'm 90% sure an intake from a B series motor will work.

I second that. If you want headlights PM me I have a set for sale and you can ask around about me. I got awsome feedback. Check out crx_guy on ebay that's me.

 

#2)most intakes from other b-series hondas will bolt right up with little/no mods....ITR one is the best if u get an aem(3in diameter pipe)....also u can try 91-93 integra gsr or 99-01 civic si

 

Ok I fixed the link in my original post, so now you can see the engine bay. Can anyone tell me if they put the battery in the right spot for the swap? It seems like it's going to be in the way, maybe I will have to relocate it to the trunk?

 

battery is in the right spot but if you relocate it to the rear you can also keep that intake cause the that looks like a intake for 96-00 civic because it has an extra hole which looks to be for IAT(intake air temp.) you dont have that sensor, i would say just relocate the battery to the rear keep the intake and find some headlights on a local forum or a junkyard. goodluck with the project looks like it needs some work.

 

use a cheap ebay cold air intake for a crx si it will work with b series
headlights get from wrecking yard

 

Check people's feedback to see if they are good sellers.

 

Is your B16 seating crooked or is it just me ?

 

get an ebay aftermarket for a CRX Si. The diameter is fine, and it clears the battery perfectly. or like stated above, relocate the battery ad keep the EK intake, just plug the IAT hole since pre obdII doesnt have that.

if you pay with paypal they chase people down that dont send mechandise.

if you send cash or a money order, well thats just dumb, but if you go through paypal most of the ebay businesses are fine.

like stated above check the feedback of someone if you have doubts.

 

yea do not be afraid of ebay just use paypal and you will be ok! I sent $300 for cams to a guy on ebay and I never received them so I filed a report with paypal. They then do a 10 day investigation and when the seller dose not respond or provide a tracking number they refund your money..so I got my $300 back its really a great way to pay even on HOnda-tech!

 

"Is your B16 seating crooked or is it just me"

I think thats just the way the picture makes it look, doesn't look that way when you looking at it in person.
