first with a dx your going to run into a couple of problems.
1st wire wont match unless you change it
2nd alxes wont fit unless u have ls or si hubs
3rd cables speed, throttle, clutch
4th shift linkage, mounts
but b16a would work the best plus the mileage is low
if you want a b18 i would suggest b18a1 non v-tec from a 90-91 integra a friend of mine has one in his dx hatch and it runs 14.7, it stock execpt for a clutch
its up to you and how much money you have or what deals u can make.
good luck

 

anyone know where good instructions are to do this b16a 2nd gen swap?

Don't listen to this guy, DX/Si/EX hubs are the same

You know that B18 can also be a LS motor B18A/B and then you can get a VTEC head for it later and kill a B16. If it were my car, oh wait, I have a DX and this is what I am doing. Rewiring, I have EX hubs, linkage, mounts, LS/VTEC with B16 LSD tranny, staying OBD0, axles and then driving it. However I started with just an LS motor and tranny and ran across the B16 tranny and B16 head.

I picked up the LS engine and tranny for $400 so they are cheap and you can get http://www.AZRaceMachine.com mounts which are super mounts and cheaper than HaSport.

 

where did you get the LS engine and tranny at?

 

how many swaps have either of you done? i've put 2 b16a in crxs one b18a1 in a dx hatch and now i put a b16 in my si crx tomorrow, and to top it off i putting together my friends ls/vtec which is full built, the hubs for a dx wont fit we tried with my friends dx hatch the axle spline are not big enough we had to switch them out with hub for a 90 integra, and a b16 tranny is the same as a ls, Ys1,J1, and Y1 take your pick the y1 is lsd my b16 has it. ls/vtec is good for power but if not done right you can f@#k your self over. like taking the motor to high of rpms without having done some work to the block. a ls looses power at about 6500 to 6800rpms a b16 does looses power entell 7500 or more depending on what you do to it. but a b16 was made to rev high and ls is more like a d15 or d16 non vtec just 3x the size they were not designed to go to 8000, i not say you should or shouldn't do ls, but if your going ls vtec take your time. GSR would be great if you have the money for one. i 'm not saying i know everything this is just what i think you should do from i have done in the past.

 

As far as the CRX DX model,
The hubs will work and are the same size as the Si..

Concure only STD, and HF have dinky hubs, and axles.

you were working with either STD htachback or crx HF hubs if you had to change them.

dx/si hubs have a higher spline count. all 88-91, year is irrelevant.

you are mistaken.

Yes I second that, I've probally done upwards of 20 engine swaps. doublethink is correct.
