the tranny is over priced i think motor is ok but for a few more hundred you can get a vtec b series and theyll bolt up with the right mounts and youll need a cable to hydro conversion on that tranny.

No, a Crx comes with D series mounts. You need b series mounts,axles, shift linkage, etc. Also the B18B is NOT vtec. You would need to go LS/vtec(b18b block with a b16a,b16a2, b18c1,b18c5, or B18C head. That itself is a hassle, and most people can't build a proper LS/vtec and forget the small things, so they blow the motor.

You are going to have to "move" for lack of better words the front tranny mount. But that's it. Not hard, just get a sledge hammer and bang it out of the way or cut it off. It's simple. You will also need the proper wiring harness and ECU

What?? No, you dont. That's for F, H, or K series. B series will bolt right in with the correct aftermarket mounts, which cost anywhere from $90-$350.

I had to move mine. I can post a picture if needed. I used no name mounts though...I also forgot he might have to make room for the alternator and do a little banging(which I had to do too)
