Is it 2 or 4 injector? I've never heard of a regular CRX.

That's a DX then, the DX doesn't have a badge only the Si and HF do. The first thing you need to do is convert from DPFI to MPFI using the original DX engine harness. There's really no way around this, the stock engine harness has to be reused. Then depending on what OBD ECU and injection you use will determine how much (if any) additional wiring is needed.
I have a 91 CRX DX with a 96 B18B1 and 92 YS1 GSR cable tranny. I used an OBD0 1991 PR4 LS ECU and distributor, I also used 90 CRX Si fuel injectors and resistor box. Other than the DPFI to MPFI wiring and rewiring the coolant temp plug, it was all straight forward.

Just regular CRX = STD model = DPFI 2 injector setup

Also, it's different from the DX model because the DX has larger hubs (like the Si) where the STD model has smaller hubs (like the HF) so you'll need to change your hubs/knuckles out before you put a B-series motor into your car or you won't be able to put the Integra axles in.

There is no STD CRX, only the Civic hatch came in the STD model, it shares the same smaller hubs as the CRX HF. The plain CRX is considered the DX model but yes it is DPFI
