basically you could use all the parts(main) from both of your cars...
you could either do a plain vtec head swap or b20V-boosted if you want, i have both
options in several of my Vs, easiest is the vtec conversion... then youll just have to
use obd2b plug harness for you to use the p28 ecu you have, 97-98 crv comes in obd2a,
99-01 crvs are obd2b similar to civics/teggys... either route you wanted to do is fine,
but youll have to find a 4wd dyno to tune it or remove the prop shaft if youll use a 2wd
dyno... good luck!

 

yes it all works fine. a crv is basically the exact same as an EK civic when it comes to swaps and what not. the rt4wd comes into play AFTER the transmission, so engine swaps are the exact same as anything else. good luck!

 

thanks man sorry havent had a chance to get on here since computer crapped out last night...but yea i pulled both motors today and already startin the v conversion and its gettin boosted too...im takin the best from both my totalled babies and makin a nasty suv...the civ with the b20t was puttin down 297whp 198wtq at 14psi and a really safe(rich) and was screamin to 9k all day all without vtec so i cant wait to see what project crv can do with vtec and turbo and rt allwheel drive...hopin it will put down at least 350 awhp with a good tune and 18-20 psi with my same turbo set-up i had bfore...thanks for the good wishes and good luck to me

 

lol it sounds like your doing about the same thing im doing i bought a 93 civic coupe with a 84mm ls/vtec, boosted and everything lol. i sold a few things that i wanted to change and as soon as i round up a few more parts im dropping it in as well...look forward to watching your progress, good luck!

 

just made a new account, forgot my old password. Anyway, im also in the middle of a crv build up. Ive got a 99 4wd 5 speed, with old man emu lift springs. suspension/wheels/tires aside, here's what parts I have for the engine build: B20b block, b16a2 head, turbonetics turbo, i forget the model number, but its not a very big turbo, turbonetics wastegate, hks sequential blow off valve, POS manual boost controller, currently have a p06 ecu, but i think ill get a p72 for this build.

this is my first turbo build so id love to hear how you guys are fairing on your projects. once my noob status is lifted ill post some pictures.

 

id love to see the progress of your build...
make your own build thread so we can monitor you, you could also
post details of your build and updates..
more pics too!!!!

**personally im interested w/ the lift kit, LOL!
