Pull out your stock motor

Bolt your intake and exhaust manifold to the y7 motor

Use your stock si trans replace your clutch

That's it

I'm running a y7 in my hatch if you have any other questions ask away

I would help but the lack of spell checking is aggravating and only adds time to ****ing deciphering your hieroglyphics.

Google then.

Why are you converting the CRX to obd2? You appear to be turning the easiest swap known to man into a difficult journey into the depths of hell.

1) Strip Y7 down to nothing but block and head
2) Attach EVERYTHING from your A6 onto the Y7
3) Insert into car
4) Extend your temperature fan wire as it has moved locations (back of block to thermostat)
5) Trim/extend coolant hoses where necessary
6) Turn your car on

Yes I do know the D16Y7 is obd2. I also know the easiest route is to get the proper wiring harness for your vehicle and use all the sensors and ECU from the stock motor, considering the only actual difference is the timing (adjust it when you start it up for the first time). If you want to go obd2 you then have to deal with multiple O2 sensors which your stock exhaust did not come with.

It needs to be an Si harness. A 91 EF Si should be the same if you can't find one from a CRX.
