I'm planning a B16a SiR swap for my CRX next summer. I'd like to do it myself to save cash, but i know very little at the moment. I need as many online resources as i can get to explain anything and everything about this swap. Please help. Thanks.

step one: remove old motor. do whatever it takes.

step two. pound in frame rail on the driver's side, where the alternator pulley sits.

step three. lower motor and trans into engine bay assembled.

step four. install motor mounts and axles. and the shift linkage if you are feeling spicy.

step five. go online for several hours to figure out what you did wrong up to this point.

seriously, it is not hard with an engine hoist and a weekend. your A/C and all that other silliness will be not working anymore anyway, so you might as well just remove the front bumper in order to gain access to the condensor and lines. oh yeah, spray paint the engine bay flat black while you have the motor out. Signal Auto trademark. jDM yO!

 

Use these sites.. they have great info!
Some is where to purchase stuff and get great deals and others are info on what you need and how to. Hasport.com is probably going to be one of the most beneficial sights for both purchases and information on how to and what is what... like when you make choice on trannies and axles and shift linkages and what not.

Enjoy:

very good sites

 

bump.. just because it's info that could save some new members alot of time looking for.

Also, has the administration of HT considered a "resource" area of the sight were users could list instructions/information/Ideas/and techniques of specific repairs or swaps?

Like a section in the CRX forum that has resources on Rear Disk Swaps or Engine swaps from b series to frankensteins to mini-me's.. I thought about doing a thread on Radiator replacement in ef with b16 with resources/instructions/HOW-TO and pictures but I know that sooner or later the threaded would just be archived.

Just thought I'd pitch the idea so we can direct people in the right directed without having the answer the same questions over and over and over.

Users could also Add to those HT resources. LIke a section on Suspension bushing installs... one user could post info and pictures on Hyperflex and another user could post info and HOW_TO's with other brands of bushings...
