Default is it a B18c in a 93 GSR???

Need to know some specs from the 93 GSR. Im planning of doing a swap ad can get this motor cheap. JUst wondering if any of you guys have experience w/ this particular motor going into a CRX. I know i'll need the axles and tranny and shife linkage from this car also. Please correct me if I am wrong Thanks.

92-93 GSR is equipped with the rare B17A1 (1.7L) engine and are OBD1 equipped also.
Only 94+ Integra's have B18C1 engines.

If you're putting a B18C into a CRX, I suggest you get a Skunk2 intake manifold for it. There is no ECU for the CRX which would control the secondary butterflies. A skunk manifold doesn't have secondary butterflies and wil work fine with any JDM B16 ECU (PR3 or PWO) if you want everything plug n play. Well...with the exception of wiring up the VTEC lines.

You can use the axles, shift linkage (will need to be modified), and a couple engine mounts - but a HASPORT bolt in kit is highly recommended. You won't be able to use the 92-3 GSR ECU since it's OBD1, it won't plug into the CRX ECU harness. Sell it, and buy yourself a JDM B16 PR3 (preferred) or PW0 ECU. If you have a CRX Si or HF, you can reuse the engine harness (since its Multi-port Injection unlike the DX models) and add the wires for the VTEC parts and run them to the ECU.

I have one, sort of, for sale, except it is b17a internals and a b16 block(same as b17 block). Disassembled so you need new rings and bearings.
