Default B18C1 into a CRX Si body

Hello everyone, I am new to the EF CRX chasis type but have acquired a 91' CRX Si bare shell and would like to throw my built B18C1 GRS motor into this beast. My problem now is that I have to acquire all the little odds and ends to put this puppy together and street legal, but don't know what swap parts are needed. I would appreciate if someone who has knowledge in this enlighten me as to what fits where to make this swap complete in terms of which harness to use, what suspension parts are compatible with which other hondas, ect.

It's never been done before!
You are the first!

Hasport.com can get you the mount kit and all the iinfo you need to get the engine and tranny into your car and rolling

Rywire.com is the place for an ECU jumper to get your chassis convereted to run that motor.

What exactly are you looking in for a suspension setup? Street, drag, road race???
Lowered car? Comfort versus performance?!??!

I am looking at 70% drag and 30% street driven. It will most likely be lowered and the whole section in the back interior will be shelled to the bone. That link for the harness was very helpful.

just like 4dref said.. besides hasport though you have other companies like innovative, and avid where the price changes in case you are on a budget. I used innovative mounts, and avid shift linkage because of the prices i got them for..but just a suggestion. also make sure u know if you want to run a hydro or cable tranny. they sell the hydro conversion to use a hydraulic tranny on the crx which i opted that route.. hope this adds to what was previously mentioned.

I used:

Hasport swap mounts/ shift linkage
90-93 Integra T-bracket (the bracket that goes to the rear motor mount)
90-93 Integra ( the part that the front motor mount bolts to, forgot what its called)
90-93 Integra axles
Rywire harness

My hood hits the valve cover with the Hasport mounts so you may want to look into something that offers more clearance.
