i know that the dx crx's hubs are the same as the si's. only the crx's though. if its a hatch, you will have to change hubs unless its an si

The dx hubs will work you just need to take out the dust shield that is in the hub

you need mounts, custom shift linkage, pw0 or pr3 ecu, axles dependent on your intermediate shaft. probably custom drivers side b/c you have a y1, from raxles or hasport, and passenger side 90 integra axle. if you dont have a intermediate shaft get one from 90 integra and use drivers side axle from same year. you need to convert your wiring to mpfi and wire vtec. if you cant do this yourself contact rywire or hasport. you also need 92 GSR upper radiator hose, and 90 integra lower. for your throttle cable you either need a custom bracket (i made mine), or one from a 90 integra. i think thats pretty much all. also a good idea to get new timing belt & tensioner, alt. belt, plugs, wires, cap/rotor, water pump, and oil pan, spark plug & valve cover gaskets. and anything else you wouldnt want to fix later with your engine in.

here is some links to help:

good luck

you probably can leave the stock oil pump on there unless you see it doesnt have any oil pressure.

you will also need a new fuel line, 90-93 integra with the washer unless it came with the b16 fuel line. i actually did run my dpfi line with my ls and then i switch over to the integra and i didnt feel a difference but its a good idea to use the integra line.

oh and the mounts need to be custom. check out http://www.hasport.com for the mounts you need. depending on hardcore of a racer you are you can choose the stiffness you want. idk i picked street strip but i wish i got full strip ones

I would at least change the timing belt too.
