Icon2 B20 on a CRX?? Good idea?

Hi guys,

I can get a complete but crashed integra DA that has a B20 with a vtec head complete with axles, ECU, tranny wiring. What are the pros cons on doing a swap of this kind into my 91 CRX Si that currently has a D16Y8? From what I gather I can use a lot of parts from that integra (suspension, brakes, etc). I am planning on doing a complete tear down of the engine to ensure that it has been put togenther properly before I put it in the REX.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dude you would be tourqeing out da AZZ! good ideas if you a good enough driver to come off da line because the crx is so light!
I and another thing, you can;t be riding slammed anymore because the b20 sits a little bit high and incase you want to be replacing heads or oil pans best to tuck on 16's insted on 15's

Pro's from buying the integra - bigger brakes, crvtec, better booster/master cylinder combo, can sell the rear discs to a fellow ef fan, can use the front seats if in good condition if you seat pan swap, if NEEDED to can use mounts.
cons - gotta shorten the linkage. will NEED a front alignment. you'd be smart to buy aftermarket mounts. you'll have to get rid of the wrecked shell.
