ok, locally i can get sohc vtec's for $600. i am going to purchase an engine to put in my 88 honda crx si. i am only buying the engine. as i understand you can use the 21 spline tranny/clutch. Also what wires/sensors need to be relocated? what is a good website with a DETAILED swap guide? What ecu should i use? i would like to use the si ecu. correct me if im wrong on these guys. use the si ecu, si IM, Si EM, SI distributor? ok i need to know everyhting so when i start the swap im totally prepared. thanks to all

 

Search Mini Me setup or something like that....

 

im about to try that swap if i can find a sohc vtec motor for less then $1000 (what are these people thinking???) i plan on using all my si wiring and dist. but running the zdyne one wie ecu. a little more money but less work and can get it programed right. hopefully everything will work because im tired of driving y fullsize, (slmost $200+ in gas a month )

 

..personally, I'd recommend going with an OBD1 setup... but here's some sites for the swap with the OBD0 setup...

here's a mini-me how-to...it'll at least give some wiring info...

will the engine still run good w/o the vtec? caqn i drive around for a while until its hooked up or will that cause some problems? any more info on sites for swapping si engine from 92-95 into a 88 crx si? thanks to all who replied i still need as muhc info as possible

 

..those first two sites have pretty much all of the info you'll need.. unless, you're planning on doing the OBD1 swap...

the car will 'run' w/o vtec hooked up... but its not gonna make your swap too worthwhile

 

hey thatnks guys i still need more info tho keep up the ghoodwork
