the block code and tranny code will NOT match.

 

I have a B17A swap as well , OBD1 ECU's don't require a resistor box.

 

damn i should of takin my friends b17 when he salvaged his 93 integra for 800 bucks

how does it feel compared to the b16 same thing im guessing or not a difference at all

i have the same swap in my 89 crx. i have a resistor box. here is a pic of my swap.

im using the stock p61 ecu. converted the crx harness to obd 1. gsr spindles and axles. hcp mounts and modified gsr shift linkage.

 

If you are using the 93 GSR obd1 injectors, you dont need a resistor box.
You should replace the water pump too, and you'll need the obd0>obd1 jumer harness.
I am using the stock 91 civic si air intake assembly in my crvtec, works fine for now.
The wiring harness should be attached to the motor with all the plugs and stuff, an no you will not need the fuse box.
AAHHHHHHHHHHH YEA!!!

 

why would you switch to obd1? i dont understand why people do this? i have not heard of any advantage, if there is please tell me.

 

smoother power curve

 

Have you ever heard of Hondata? That should answer your question right there...

 

you can run hondata on non obd, i have a pr3 with hondata program. smother power curve? debatable.

 

i converted to obd1 cause the ecu was obd1. im using a aem from a 97 and up prelude. i just cut it out to fit my car.

 

HCP. is real stiff. I my HASports. For header the RS*R is nice, Intake, 99-00 Si CAI will work or you can make your own. Even the intake you have now should work. I might have my stock header up for sale soon. If you interested

 

What does a B17 come from?

 

93 teg GS-R

 

92-93 gsr. these motors are hard to come by these days. they are even more rare then a type r from what i hear.

 

If someone doesnt think so see how many itr trannies are out there compared to how many 92-93 gsr trannies.
It took me about 5 months to find and aquire mine, 93 tranny that is.

 

No, not quite! The 92-93 GSR tran has slightly shorter gears and shorter final drive.
B-Gears
Quoted from ff-squad about the 92-93 GSR tranny, "Same gearing as 92-01 hydro SiR/ITR/CTR but in cable form. Optional LSD."

 

There are a few of reasons to go with a newer ECU. First off, it will have the right fuel maps for the motor. A PR3/PW0 might be somewhat close. But remember that these ECUs are made for a 1.6 liter motor. Not a 1.7 liter motor. So the motor would run somewhat lean with a B16A ECU. Another reason is emissions legality. In California (and perhaps elsewhere), you MUST run the ECU that came with the motor to be legal. A B17A swap using a PR3/PW0 would not be legal and would likely not pass a referee. Finally, as someone lese mentioned, motors using 1992+ ECUs do run smoother. And you don;t have all those messy vacuum lines.

 

The 1992-1993 JDM XSi is a B16A. But the 1992-1993 USDM GSR is a B17A. This is one of the few instances where the US market was offered the better motor.

theres my b17.....love it so far

 

dang that B17 must pull hard... i looks clean too.. good swap!

 

i love my b17a swap!

 

There were only 4000 (2500 92's 1500 93's) 92-93 GSR's made making them much rarer than a Type R. The B17 was also a limited production motor with much better build quality than other B-series motors.

My stock 150k mile 92 GSR with only a AEM intake for a mod ran a 14.9 1/4 on stock street tires. That was in a 2500 lb car so in a CRX it would fly.
