Default b-swap in CRX help im lost

Ok I searched but I keep getting confused. I am buying a 90 CRX with the dual point injection. I want to swap in a b16a. I searched to see what all needed to be done and had a couple of questions

Will my front hubs need to be changed or is that on the 80's models
is my car obd0 or how much wiring problem will i run into ( just plug up the b16a harness to my car? or will i have to make the plugs and change ecus?)

can i change to a hydro clutch with the b16 tranny or am i stuck with a cable clutch

as long as you dont have an hf the stock hubs will work fine..your car is obd0 92-95 is obd1 and 96+ is obd2a/b..no the b16 harness wont just plug up and i dont suggest using it ,,(well only for parts)....if this is an obd0 b16 swap its pretty straigt foward with wiring,,do mpfi conversion and add the 4 wires for vtec..what year b16 swap are you getting?

Well if it's dual port....it won't be an hf. But there's the possibility of someone trying to run a dx motor with an hf tranny. anyway before confusion.
The b16a obd-0 is believe it or not is ALMOST a straight hookup...
Just make you standard dpfi-mpfi conversion. If you don't know what to do, search rywire.com. those guys will make it as easy as plug n play.
You'll need:
ecu pw0 or pr3
One knock sensor
one oil pressure wire/with one ground
vtec sensor
and two o2 sensors.

The hubs on a dx will fit the axles that come with the axels that fit a b-series tranny diff.
Your car is obd-0. 1st gen b16 is obd-0. 2nd gen are obd-1. Obd-0=milky white plugs like in your car now. obd-1 has grey plugs.
Easy-stay obd-0 and just add the sensros i mentioned above
more taxing- go obd-1. change injectors, distributor, add wires. But it makes it easier and better for tunning.

Hasport does make a hydro-cable clutch kit. I love cable but if you want hydro get the s80 tranny. ITR tranny with lsd. If you decide to stay cable. stick with the Ys-1 out of a 90-93 gs-r integ.
i know it sounds like a mess....but just search and do some troubleshooting and it'll come out *******!

ok since mine has dual point injection is it the standard model with the 92 hp d15b? or do i have the 70hp motor?

the seller wasnt clear and told me he thought it was a dx, but there is no dx badge. i just no its a 90 model

yeah its most likely a dx unless the person swapped dual point into a hf (very doubtfull) and you got the 92 hp d15b2..dx doesnt have a rear badge like hf or si so its perfectly normal
