What is the difficulty level of swapping a '96 GSR B18C engine into an 88-91 CRX? I would love to do this swap, as I have both the car and the engine sitting in my garage.

I am looking for as much information as possible and could use any input possible. I have been searching and found some answers, but nothing that I was really looking for. So far, I have learned that the wiring may be a little tricking and take some work and the swap will require a mount kit.

The mount kit shouldn't be a problem, but the wiring may be and if anyone could help me along with this or point me in the right direction that would be great.

 

Also, how will the tranny hook up? Could I use the GSR tranny in the CRX? If not, what would need to be done?

 

get the hasport mount kit with the cable to hydro tranny conversion. you need axles, shift linkage. i think you can get a conversion harness for the wiring.

 

Thanks, any more information would be great.

 

Bump.

 

the swap is easy, if you have the tools for the swap ive done multiple b series swaps, you will need the mounts from hasport and the rear tranny mount from an integra. you can use a front mount if you have the money to get stuff welded and moved. but its fine with out it. and wiring depends on weither you have a dx hf or si. if its a dx then you have to convert to multi port from duel port. and if its an hf you need knuckles from an si.

 

wiring is simple. just use your old engine harness off the sohc. add the knock sensor and vtec wires. Than u can either run a pr3/pwo obd0 ecu or u can run a obd 1 jumper and run the GSR ecu or p28
