I have a 87 CRX that needs alot of work.. and it wont turn over... Im wondering if I should just work on it to get it running or should I just pull the engine and put one in it that I know works.. Please help... thanks

drop in a running one, go mpfi with wiring conversions, motor swaps are real easy in hondas wiring will be a bitch though

 

Do you think I sould drop the D15b2 engine that is the original that is in there. or should I go with something diffrent..

Any suggestions on a tear down manual for the b15b2?

 

i suggest you learn what you are talking about.


do you have an 87 Crx? if so there was no such thing as a d15b2 in it. Also if its carbed (not to be mistaken with dpfi) then you have a lot of work in order to convert your system to Fuel Injection. I know.

 

I had a 87 rex... if your brave, got the money, time and a garage to work on it.... you'll need to swap all fuel related components, almost all of the wiring will have to be custom (to get the stock interrior pieces to work with your whatever engine you drop in) and welding... i hope you can weld. you cant use the stock motor mount brackets on the frame (you can but my engine sat at a insane angle... probably 45 degrees forward with the exhaust hitting the firewall= not good). and then ..... axels and kunckles... i didnt get to that part because i move half way across the world and had to junk all my projects..

from hawaii to boston! now when i move back to HaaaHvaaaeeeeeeee i'm shipping my ****.... lesson learned...

hey the easiest thing to do is get an 88 to 91 smashed up rex and get into the body work of it!
