I'm doing a 96 LS swap in my 89 crx dx. I the motor, mounts, obd2 engine harness and I'm picking up the obd2 ecu and the trans with linkage here soon. However I have two questions.

- I've read before that on the dx model the axles won't fit the hubs or something and that they need to be swapped with da front suspension. Well I know a guy selling integra front knuckles with the oem calipers, rotors, brake lines, lower ball joints and arp extended wheel studs for 175.

Out of that what do I need to swap the ls in my crx? If I don't need that then what do really need?


-Also, I've heard that I shouldn't run my crx in obd2 and get an obd2-obd1 conversion before I do the swap. Which would be the easiest to swap in my car? Also if there is anything else I'm missing for the swap please let me know. I've been trying to do as much reasearch as possible but theres just some things I haven't found.


Thanks,
Jake

 

Yes in order to run the b series axles you have to swap over to the Integra hubs. But I didn't think you needed the entire teg suspension. You should only have to swap the hubs out. Yes you need get the OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harness, OBD1 ECU and OBD1 distributor to convert the motor from OBD2 to OBD1.

 

So can I run the motor obd2?

That's incorrect..you only need to change hubs if you have a "std" or "hf".

Also obd1 and obd2 distributors can be run by obd1 ecu's,,its the obd0 that's different..

What I would do is convert your car to obd1 and mutli point fuel injection,,Then run a obd1 pr4 integra ecu,it will run the obd2 motor fine...But if you want to convert to full obd2a,sorry i cannot help you because I've never attempted.
