Default GSR Swap Fitment problem/ CRX diagrams?

I have a problem with the 97 GSR swap Im doing in my 90 CRX Si.
Does anyone have wiring, hose and vacuum diagrams for the crx. The manuals at the store are absolute crap, The online ones ive seen dont seem to be helpfull.


Using innovative mounts, hydro to cable conversion with the stock S80 transmission.

The transmission is basically sitting against directly on the sub-frame, right where the bracket holding the steering rack is sitting otherwise I would just notch it out, but its a import supporting part.

Also there is no room for the Tranny fill bolt to come out. You cant fill the tranny without the axles in right should I just fill it up in the axle hole?

No the cable tranny mount is different from the one he has depicted. That certainly is not a cable tranny mount. Did you bang the rear subframe to fit the l-bracket properly? I am not sure but that may cause that problem. BTW if that was the cable mount it would not bolt up al all. He has all 3 bolts in his.

Yes, it is the hydraulic to cable conversion kit. I was hoping someone already had this.

I didnt bang the subframe at all. The rear tranny bracket is off in the picture but it doesnt change where the engine sits whether its on or off.

The Kit...

we had a similar issue with a EF hatch that was put a GSR in. Once the rear T-bracket was installed, it gave us the clearance that we needed.

Try installing the rear engine bracket and let us know how it goes

Ok Yea mounting on the rear bracket fixed the problem, but now another problem. Since innovative doesnt have instructions I just found out the T bracket is resting on the subframe, and the valve cover is way too high. So now I have to cut out some subframe..... Damn them.

Don't cut out the subframe just bend the pinch weld lip down.

The trans bolt will come out, there is enough room.
