if the 85 is not Si, then it is a whole lot of work - if it is Si, the D16A1 will bolt right in, but you will need to use the 86-89 Integra transmission, axles, knuckles/hubs and shift linkage

ok, the crx is an si. but we cant use the crx transmission? the integra tranny is automatic, but if we have to i guess we'll just go find one somewhere.

I'm sure that you can find a cheap Integra tranny at the salvage yard.

i am actually putting a d16a1 in my 87 crx si. do you need any other modifications to the crx for this to fit? any wiring changes?
