Hey guys right now i own a 1992 ls integra with a b16a. My friend has a 1991 crx pretty sure its a HF model, that he blew the motor in and hes willing to sell it for cheap. So im just wondering what im going to have to do for the swap. Is it going to be a plug and play or am i going to have to get a jumper harness? I have a chipped p28 in the da currently, and im pretty sure its obd0 becuase i dont have a diognostic port under the dash. Any info or a link to another similar swap would be helpfull. Thanks alot

 

1992 da is obd1. especially if you're running a p28 already without a jumper harness. it's plug and play with your car, though you will have to wire vtec in.

 

Plug and play with the crx?

 

to install the B16A engine and transmission into the CRX HF, you will need a mount kit and shift linkage - need to swap the HF knuckles/hubs out for ones from DX/Si and use the DA axles - to run it OBD1 you will need the ECU OBD0 to OBD1 jumper harness - need to use the HF engine harness and eliminate the injector resistor box (if the engine currently has OBD1 injectors), add wiring for VTEC and 4-wire O2 sensor and rewire the distributor (or get a distributor jumper) - going to need a complete exhaust system (the HF exhaust is tiny)

 

Ok thanks for the info. Do you know of any shops that specialize in mount kits, jumper harness, or swap parts?

 

search google or ebay, tons of options when it comes to mount kits, jumpers, and other swap related items

 

Ok guys thanks.

 

Ok guys so i just picked up the car yesterday. The body only has 88xxx on it and its in great condition, and apparently there is a JDM non vtec motor in it. Theres four wires coming from the ecu, i think two go to the alarm and two to either to a coolant temp or something else. Im pretty sure on what i need for the swap, but im still unsure on the front hubs if i need to change them or not. I found a tech thread about the whole swap but the guy was using a gen2 b16 with a hydro clutch, so im not sure if the wiring is the same. He also doesnt say anything about changing out the front hubs he just says you have to take out the caps in the hubs. Here is the address to the thread. I also took some pics of the beast

the CRX appears to me to be a DX and not a HF

DX converted from DPFI to MPFI would have 4 wires added from the ECU to the engine bay - 2 for the 2 extra injectors and 2 to the distributor for the cylinder sensor

DX wouldn't need knuckles/hubs swapped for B-series swap

 

I take a closer pic of where the wires go real quick.

 

Ok theres some pics. There is deff two wires going from the ecu to that silver box. im prettty sure its the alarm. I also got a pic of th VIN cuz i was told it was an HF but he was most likely just guessing or something.

 

the silver box in the second from the bottom picture is the fuel injector resistor box and is where 2 of the wires from the ECU would run to when converting the DX from DPFI to MPFI - the other 2 would go to the distributor - i can tell that it is a DX from the pictures of the wiring harness (round 14-wire connector at driver's side at firewall and only 2 connectors at passenger side) - the VIN does not distinguish between DX and HF - only indicates that the engine was 1.5L which is what both the DX and HF had

 

Im so confused all the info im looking up about b16a first gens, say they have two one wire 02 sensors the valve cover has dohc bigger than vtec ect ect. That all matches my motor but its in my 1992 integra. Which is obd1. Why the hell would someone put a obd0 in an obd1 car? And yea i didnt do the first swap into my integra.

 

a lot of swaps to OBD1 cars are made using OBD0 engines - they just change to the OBD1 distributor, OBD1 fuel injectors (usually) and 4-wire O2 sensor so that it is compatible with the OBD1 USDM ECU if that is what they are using - using OBD1 JDM ECU would need the 2 O2 sensors

 

Is there any way i can tell if the injectors and distributor are obd1?

 

if the B16A runs with the OBD1 ECU, the distributor should be OBD1 - if there is no injector resistor box in the fuel injector circuit, it should have OBD1 injectors

 

Ok man thanks alot. My b16 is about ready to pull, and be re-gasketed. Ill keep you posted. Pics will be up.

 

Hey guys im buying all my swap parts and im wondering, when it comes to motor mounts, has anyone had problems with ebay ones. I mean im about to buy hasport mounts. But if i can save myself some cash Im not going to complain. Im only planing for a moderate build, maybe 300whp but alot of track use. So let me know what you guys think.

 

just a quick look at my build thread.( in my sig)

I swapped a b16 into my DX and it should give you some tips and things to look for.
its converted obd1. so that'll help you out.




that looks like speaker wire to me! that such an epic fail. I suggest you change that wiring fast.

 

OK so i just got these parts

Full gasket kit
Cometic head gasket .051"
Gates timing belt
ARP head studs
Hasport mount kit (extreme race)
Hasport linkage
Obd-obd1 jumper
Obd-obd1 distributor jumper

Since im pulling the b16a out of my integra I already have the axles and throttle cable. So im pretty sure I have everything to get the motor into the car. Hopefully ill have my parts sometime next week, and will be ready to swap in two.

 

Hey guys got my motor out today. Seperated the tranny and got the engine on a stand. Tommorow im going to really clean the bad boy up. Mic the output shaft on the tranny so i know what year i got, take the head off check to see if it needs to be decked, and maybe start preping the rex Heres some pics.

 

Ok so today i pulled the head and started cleaning everything. I needed to mic the output shaft on the tranny to find out what year it was out of. I mic it a bunch of times and im getting 25.68. I know that 90-91 is 25mm and 92-93 is 26mm. So should im assuming its just worn. But anyway heres some more pics

 

Hey guys I'm trying to figure out what the tolerences are for the block and head when it comes to being warped. I have a strait edge and feeler gauges I just can't find the spec. Please help me out.
