I have a stock 1990 CRX DX and just purchased a b16a2. Can someone tell me specifically where I can find out how or how to and what to wire? This is what has already been done to the motor:

2000 si b16a2
Multipoint fuel resistor box (I think thats what is called)
S1 LS cable tranny
B16 obd0 intake manifold
b16 obd0 Distributer
PWO ecu
b16 obd0 wiring harness... I think

The motor came out of another 1988 CRX DX. I know its stupid that I still dont know how to put it together, but im new to this whole thing. Oh, and can I ref the motor? If so, how?

Thanks to everybody that contributes to this posting

just in case. but have fun doing that

 

if it was already in a CRX, then you should be able to just bolt in in with a set of hasport motor mounts and plug it into your wiring harness. sounds like he already had it wired up for the 88.

if you want to ref it and get it BAR certified, you'll need to set it up and smog it as a Del Sol vtec, or 99 Si.

To convert it to del sol vtec specs, you need:
OBD1 intake manifold
OBD0 to OBD1 ecu jumper harness
OBD1 distributor
P30 USDM obd1 del sol vtec ECU.
some minor wiring.

If you want to smog it as a 99 Si, you need OBD2 stuff, obviously. There were a few more sensors on the OBD2 motors, so keep that in mind.

 

thanks guys, I've done some research. I guess I need to first pin in 2 extra injectors. Then proceed onto wiring the vtec, 02 sensors and what not. If anyone has any helpful hints, let me know...

 

There plenty of information out there for the DPFI to MPFI conversion. Then you will need to convert to OBD2b to smog/ref it in Cali. Rywire can make you a custom harness to go from pre-obd MPFI to OBD2b.

 

thanks, I've contacted rywire but got no response back yet. As of now, I think im just going to wire this all together my self, and when it comes time to smog it I think im just going to try to wire it up of obd1 del sol b16a2. That'll work, wouldnt it? If not, ill just ref a d16z6 or somethin... Can a d16z6 drop right in with stock mounts though?

hey, does anyone know how hard it is to convert to hydraullic tranny? If you had the convertion kit hasport offers, what other work would have to be done?

 

oh, and also on the passenger side of the crx dx, there are only two plugs that go into the engine wire harness. The big round one, and the rectangle L looking one. But on the b16 there are 3 connector, the one the L one goes into, the Larger circle one that the one from the crx goes into, and one extra circle squarish plug in from the engine harness. What is that last one for and how am I going to hook that up?
