Im gettin an 89 CRX SI

Since the engine has over 200,000 miles, im plannin on doing an engine swap. I have motor mounts for any B-series engine swap. If i were to get a B18C GSR engine w/ tranny, what else would i need to complete the swap in the CRX??? Do i need new shift linkage? New ECU? Since i work at a garage, im plannin on doing it with one of my buddys who is a mechanic but im new to the whole engine swappage so what else would i need???

Also, would anyone recommend a different engine set up if it's for street racing and daily driving?? I might plan on turbo charging it in the future but thats not for a while.....

Thanks H-T

 

Haha, nice sig . Yeah, you'll need new linkage and a new ECU for a B swap. It depends on which engine you get, but you may have to either get a cable tranny or convert everything to hydraulic.

I'm not the best about B series swaps though, I just wanted to say nice sig. It all depends on how much money you have to spend. If you have a rather tight budget, go with a SOHC VTEC motor. That way you still get good gas mileage, and still have a bit more power when racing. But since you already have the B series mount kit, I would invest a little more and get a B18A/B.

 

ok this is my working list for my crx b18c1 swap

Engine 95 (obd1) jdm b18c1 with s1 cable tranny

Hasport engine mounts
Rear engine mount bracket 50827-SK7-020 ( as per the hasport instuctions)
Side engine mount bracket 11910-PR3-010 ( as per the hasport instuctions)
Hasport b series crx shift linkage
91-01 teg energy suspension shift bushings
Raxles b series crx axles
90-93 teg intemediate shaft
jdm p72 ecu
old jdm engine harness (for plugs)
Obd0-obd1 conversion harness from the master of harnesses Blown90Hatch
4 wire o2 sensors
stock gsr downpipe (mine didn't come with one)
LOTS of wire and shrink wrap


I live about 30 min away if you want to see my setup.

 

Is your swap done?? Are u able to drive on it??? If you are let me know i really want to see it and take me for a spin casue i know the gsr engine can really pull!!!!!!

 

If I get
B18C 94-00 GSR Complete Change Over B18C 94-00 GSR Complete Change Over
Motor
- Hydrolic Tranny (S80, Y80)
- ECU (P72)
- Axles with Half Shaft
- Shift Linkage
- Stock Motor Mounts
- Alternator
- Starter
- Clutch
- Flywheel
- Intake Manifold
- Exhaust Manifold
- Fuel Rail
- Injectors
- Distributor
- Engine Harness
- Comes With All Sensors Needed
- LSD Tranny (Optional +$300)
will this fit in a crx? with a t3/t4 hybrid turbo

Looking good so far....post some slips after you run it.

 

dohcdelsol:

Its not done yet. I'm waiting on the intermedite shaft, starter and rotor.
oh and i have a little wiring to do

camp1984:

check out http://www.hasport.com or http://www.hcpengineering.com
for what else you need to put the engine in the car.

They most likley will not cover that using a hydro tranny in a cable equiped car will require some major custom fabrication.

 

McDade, when are you taking me out for ride?!

I guess we should finish the wiring first.
