Default 1991 CRX 4G63 swap questions

Hi guys ,


This is the first post for me , I have super clean CRX 1991 with bolts on and cammed D16 ( I bought it from my friend ) so I dont know what to do on it LOL , my plan is to have fun on this car on street or drag race .
As I have huge experience in 4G63 engine with alot of great and good feedback I would like to put 4G on this small CRX so my question is ?

what do I need to run the 4g on CRX
What Axles ?
what about the Wire Harness ?
what gear ?
is there any engine mount kit for this swap ?
as what I have seen in Google that all CRX swaps run the 6 bolts old DSM engines and i havent seen any runs EVO engine .
and what else I need to do this build .


Thanks
Sa'ad

This is not a very popular swap. I also had cars equipped with the 4G63 which is an awesome motor. It would be much easier to swap in a B or K series. If you are set on a 4G63 powered CRX most everything will need to be custom.

I thought that there is a installing Kit for this swap for 4g63 .
I like the K series but I will same tons of money if I run the 4g63 .

I can make an engine mounts for as a custom but I dont know if that easy or how to make a coustom Axles .

thanks bro

Makes way more sense to get an LS B series motor, B16 LSD trans, T3/T4 turbo and run that over this. I don't know how much you are saving by using this motor, but the custom factor will make it much more expensive to install and maintain.

I'm just too damn lazy for all the custom work involved...haha. On a similar note, you should make it awd too since youre going to all that trouble.

D16 block and a B16 head is impossible. The B16 is a DOHC head and the D series is a SOHC. Confused on this.

The truth! I started my Honda interest accidentally. I then started to want more out of my car. Starting reading and reading. First it was turbos, wanted to used an eBay turbo. Found out that was a bad idea. Then it was the mini-me, found out my B1 motor was terrible for a mini-me. Then it was a motor swap, found out the D-series motors are all pretty okay performance wise and I would probably need to swap to OBD1 to run them. Decided I didn't like having to go through all that hassle for 130 HP at the flywheel. Moved onto the B-series swap since I knew I couldn't afford the K, H or F series swaps. The B18 (LS) motor seemed to bland, I wanted VTEC. Read about it. The B18C motors are amazing, but pricey. The B16A was a very easy swap from what I read, so that's what I went with. Plus I found one for $1000 that was nearly complete. I knew nothing about the car. I just had ideas, googled and searched, realized they were all bad until I stumbled upon one that was promising. $1500 later, I have a B16A in my EF and it's quite the improvement.

What are you talking about? I'm confused what all this means. If you go the bolt on route, just realize that you will need a proper tune to take advantage of the increases.

Whoa! A B20/VTEC? That's a beast motor. At least for a Rex. If you want to sell it... lemme know.
