NEED OF IMMEDIATE HELP WITH 88 CRX- repost for noob
Hi my names is Alex and I live in Los Angeles, I need a canyon car and have found one for sale but it needs a distributor and I have a question that I think can be answered on this forum.
The 88 CRX is a stock USDM model and someone has dropped in a JDM d15b (from what I can tell) motor and did something very strange with the harness. I cannot tell whether it’s the stock harness or they spliced it and did some funny stuff to it. I think the distributor was either stolen or it never had one.
Now my major problem is that I have a friend (GSPOT AUTOMOTIVE) who is willing to give me a distributor at no charge but they said they need to look at the car. The problem is that the car does not run and I don’t have money to tow it so I am hoping that someone here who know this motor or SET UP can tell me what distributor I need or what it needs to look like. Thanks for the time and sorry for taking up space on the forum.
Oh yeah and I am moving down from a B16, is there any good info on how this motor produces power better yet is there something special about this JDM MODEL ?

wiring done like that scares me. diagnosing stuff that looks like that could take the hand of god to help you figure out wiring problems.
its not a mini swap. it is the D15b. note no number after the b and there is no signs of someone trying to hide the number if there was one.
your crx is a dx though. so it was dpfi and he had to change the wiring to run mpfi. that's why the wiring is the way it is. he could have done it 100000x cleaner.
