whats up h-t. i got my 91 crx hf 2 months ago and love how the car is except the slow single in it lol, but it runs real good so no complaints there. Anyway i plan puttin the car in for the winter and swapping a b18a1 into it or a b16. Either way i wanted to know what axles i will be using and can i use my original shift linkage. Also could i use the Ls rods,crank and piston in the b16. I know these questions are common but i want the right answers before i start this project. Some hints, tips and problems i will run into would be appreciated too. thanx

 

Well if these questions are common maybe you should have used the red search button at the top right hand corner of the screen. But anyways you'll have to use different axles, which I don't know the type. Modified shift linkage, Hasport sells it with there mount kits. It probably wouldn't be such a wise idea to use the ls internals in the b16 block. The b18 block is taller then the b16, so I've heard. You'll need to buy an aftermarket cross member, maybe. Different steering knuckles, hell if I know which type. Maybe a obdo to obd1 conversion harness, depending on the engine year. Maybe a hydro to cable conversion kit, depending on the tranny type/year. Well if this is your first swap maybe you should do a d16a6 or a dohc zc. There bolt in engines just need to make sure if you do the dpfi to mpfi swap swap. If you do do the dohc zc try not to get a obd1 engine, like me. Then you'll spend months looking for a hydro to cable conversion kit, and then look for months for a obd0 si tranny, look for a obd0 to obd1 conversion harness and then finally do the swap. Good luck.

 

OK This has been covered and covered, but here we go: You will want the axles and intermediate shaft from a 1990-91 integra, and you will need to change out the steering knuckles to any dx,ex or si spec civic/crx. you will need the shift linkage from a 1990 up integra, but have to cut and shorten the shift and stabilizer rods to fit, or buy aftermarket ones. Rather than your proposed internals swap, IMO you would be better off doing an LS/Vtec by using your LS block and internals with the B16 head. Its just easier, especially if you have a good running b18a to begin with. There is a good book written called "honda engine swaps" that has all the info you need.

'90-93 Integra. But you're also going to need DX/LX/Si knuckles, because B-series axles won't fit into HF/STD hubs.

No. You need either pre-fabricated swap linkage, or custom shortened '90-93 Integra linkage.

No. B16A/B17 blocks have a 7mm shorter deck height than B16B/B18 blocks.
