Im trying to throw the motor in right now and its a headache. i dont see how im goin to be able to put my 4 to 1 headers in. and do i have to modify the crossmember.

 

Yes, you will have to cut the crossmember or get an aftermarket one from Full Race or Explicit Speed or some such company.

 

I wouldnt reconmind cuting the crossmember my buddie did and drove it for couple days and blow out on in Id go with a Full Race or any after market one then you could run 4 to 1...and put a littler radiator

 

im so pist right now because the mounts they sold me dont line up so now i have to buy mounts and a crossmember

Which mounts did you get?

as far as header's go...for b-series motors, if you want to use a 4-1 header, you'll have to either modify the crossmember to get the header to clear, OR buy an aftermarket crosssmember (traction bar).

If you don't feel like hacking up your crossmember, or spending money on a traction bar, it's been said that 4-2-1 headers fit without modifying the stock crossmember. I'm using the OEM 4-2-1 header that came with my B18C. After I removed the mount that sits on the front cross member, there is plenty of room between the motor and header.

 

well crap i was gonna get a b20 from password jdm bc they are super cheap on there now, but this makes me think they arent worth it?

 

Doing a B20 swap is EXACTLY like doing an LS swap. The material has been covered over and over and if you run unto problems its because you didn't do enough research.

I'm assuming you will be running OBD0 dizzy of and LS and OBD0 injectors?

 

thats exactly the problem i havent researched it that much yet so i dont know.:]

A b20 is still a good option. Don't let this issue change your mind. It's been done before plenty of times. The only down side to a b20 that I can think of is the cylinder walls being thin, which is bad for boost. But there have been numerous people who have done this swap. You can also research crvtec, since the same block is used. Just like the guy said before, LS swaps are also similar so you can research B18A/B swaps.

 

dont give up b20 is where its at....friend just got one and did b20vtec runnings good hope you get it running soon and get back at me on how it rides

 

yo dude check out b20vtec.com dey got lotz of info on dis swap. mad peepz on der are runnin it

 

i just used a sledge hammer on mine, never had any issues

Few things I learned in my time with swaps is NEVER start it until you have all the parts and you are sure of what your doing.

My theory behind swaps is researching first will yield a nice, clean reliable swap. Researching last yield poorly done hack jobs.

 

i kno i shouldve researched a bit more. im going to modify the stock cross member. Im going b20 vtec 4 sure but right now i have to ride b2o until im able to get rid of my B16 block. i have a fully built B16 head thats going on the B20 and i plan on buying the RSR pistons and eagle rods. does a drivers side GSR mount fit on a CRX with a B20

 

btw im using an obd1 ls distributor wit a p75 ecu and my ob0 injectors. is that aight

No. With an OBD1 ecu you want to be running OBD1 or OBD2 injectors.

As for the mount, get a mount kit from HASport and use OBD0 B series block mount (90-91 teg).

 

do obd1 injectors plug up to an obd0 harness

 

can i cut the injector clips off a obd1 single cam and use ls injectors

 

either convert to OBD1 and buy injectors, or buy a PR4 and OBD0 distributor.

btw. People have given you plenty of places to find the answers to you questions. Most of them are in the FAQ at the top of the forum.

Research now. no time like the present

 

i already converted to obd1 im still using obd0 injectors tho

 

then buy OBD1 injectors.

how did you do the conversion btw? I don't have much time to deal with wiring and I didn't feel like chasing down "gremlins" if I tried to do my own harness, so I sent it off to Rywire. Did you do yours yourself?

 

nope i sent it to some guy from crxcommunity. he made me an ecu jumper harness with the vtec plugs , obd1 sensor plug, and dizzy jumper harness. but i had to resplice the dizzy jumper harness for the ls. i basically stayed with the same injector clips. wut wrong with using obd0 injectors. i still have my resistor box btw

 

WEll you can't be OBD1 then or you would of fried your ECU/resistor box/wiring by now.

OBD0 injectors are peak and hold IIRC and OBD1 are saturated, or the other way around. The resistor box is used in OBD0 injectors/ecus because it is needed, unlike OBD1 and OBD2.

You can use OBD1-2 injectors on OBD0 ECU it just won't be as smooth (I had this on my OBD0 LS hatch, check sig for 1/4 mile times) but you can't do it the other way around. My brother did this once to some guy who refused to convert his injectors when he converted to obd1 and fried his injection system.

 

ok so i need obd1 injectors and clips. wut do i do with the resistor box. can i just leave it there with the 2 wires connected to it. can i use ls injectors and single cam injector clips
