I finally got a sol! Engine swap questions.
Hello all!
I am very new to hondas, but I just picked up a 93 sol. unfortunately it has 193k miles on it and I want to start planning for a swap asap before it dies on me. I was just wondering is anyone could tell me if a JDM B16c Type R would be do-able in my car? or if there is something with similar specs for the same money that might go smoother, and maybe what else I would need to buy to make the swap a success. Thanks a lot for the help in advance.

96-97 spec B18C Type R swap is probably the 2nd easiest swap you can do. You will need the complete swap (engine, trans, axles & shift linkage), a P28-spec OBD1 ECU chipped wtih a Type-R map, a dual-core Del Sol VTEC radiator (has larger hose headers), Del Sol VTEC radiator hoses, an intake, and some kind of 2.5" exhaust & cat setup to meet the 2.5" collector, 2 gallons of coolant, and most importantly a US-Spec OBD2 engine harness from a Type-R or GSR (or build your own).
- The ECU has to be setup to bypass the missing VTEC pressure switch.
- The US Engine harness has to be modified to re-use your old OBD1 evap solenoid.
- If you don't already have a VTEC engine, you will have to run one wire from the shock-tower's chassis-harness plug down to the ECU.
- If you have AC (and want to keep it) you need a P7J CRV AC bracket, tensioner & belt

And its a pretty easy swap over all.
