I am going to buy a cr-x very soon and drop a B18c in it. Has anyone swapped a B18 into a crx, please respond with any suggestions or advice.

I would like to know what kind of HP Id have with a basically stock cr-x B18 with exaust, intake and chip, I only have enough money to do that.

I also am going to buy a B18 tranny to go in it. Whats better, cable or hydro, and what is easyer to instal in a sec. gernaration cr-x.

I was full VW fan for the last few years, untill i hit V-tech. Any suggestions on what mods to do to the car? thanks.

**** unfortunately you dont know what the **** youre doing. and there is no such thing as V-TeCh. maybe vtec. and you HAVE TO HAVE cable tranny for 91 and older. and dont even worry about fixing it up. its already quick

to dont HAVE TO HAVE cable tranny, i believe theres cable to hydro kits now..

 

A few friends have dropped B18s into their '88-'91 CRXs with good results. Didn't seem to be too hard a swap. One of them is running a B18B, putting out 142.5hp and 129 torque at the wheels.

You definitely want the cable transmission; there ARE hydro-to-cable kits now (HASport), but it's extra $ you don't have to spend.

I think the hardest part of the swap is pounding out the driver's-side chassis member to gain that extra little bit of clearance for the alternator.

Being a B18C, you might have some wiring to do. Not sure what OBD that motor is set up for.

And BTW, V-Tech is a cheap telephone; VTEC is what makes Honda motors giant-killers!

Im sure you can finda alot of your answers there. Just look.

And if thats no good, tham do a search. Its in the top right corner of the screen.

 

i put b18c into my 91 civic and have run obd0 pr3 but am going over to obd1 so use the better hondata for tuning

baseline dyno with oil leak and pressure loss in cylinder #3&4 was 177.6@7350 before losing press. and peak torque was 128.7 @4300

so am rebuilding bottomend and going with portflow and toda b's up top

i can help with some specifics if you need

 

gawd if only someone would show a little grace.

 

Ok, thanks for the advice. See what acting like an idiot gets you? Good advice, and a bunch of links. :D Oh btw Ive done 2 B16a swaps into freinds cars, so i do know something. Just never worked on a CRX.

 

I happen to have a $19.99 V-tech. lol. I gueese I must of looked at it before I typed. Owe, btw, Im a "new member" and can only type 5 posts a day. Do you have a MSN address? I have a couple questions on the instalation.

i dropped a b18c1 into my 89 sedan a little while ago..bolts in the same like all ef chassy (thats 88-91 Civics an CRX's for ya new folks)

anyway i would say go with the hydro tranny...that is of course if the swap you buy comes with it, cause you are easily going to spend another $300-$400 for a cable LS or GSR tranny or even b16...where you could simply retain the stock tranny and spend that money on the Hasport Cable-Hydro conversion kit...just my 2 cents.

but feel free to email me at dingusjt@yahoo.com if you have any questions!

i'm not going to bash you or anything...hell i remember when i first bought my civic i thought http://www.customcivics.com was a badass site and the first question i asked was whether i should get an intercooler or not?? of course i didn't know it would be cool if i had a turbo kit to go along with it
