Well you would need to find out which motor is it. the d15b7 is an obd1 dx motor and d15b6 is the CRX HF motor.

I have an Si trans on my HF motor it gives it a good extra kick in the pants because of the short gears. If you have the HF motor d15b6, the Si head has double the valves that an HF has. 8 valve vs 16 valve so you will definatly make some power swapping the heads.

If you have the d15b7 motor swapped a Si head won't net you much if any at all. You would have to find out how big the combustion chambers are for both and see if it will end up raising compression or lowering it.

transmission would make a great improvement by itself

but the **** will still be slow. unless you can get the parts for dirt-*** cheap AND do the work yourself i wouldn't waste my time.

if you get the transmission you'll need clutch, flywheel, hubs, axles from an Si, they don't fit the HF.

just grab a full d16a6 and a pm6 ecu, it plugs right into the hf harness.

You're better off just getting the complete Si motor.

Bargaining is always best. Does that come with the tranny and axles? I believe you are going to need the Si hubs as well.
