ps. he got the gsr head.....he wants 800 for everthing so i just might make the rex ls/vtec but i really need the info !! thanks!

 

why dont you tell us what some people said that conflicted with each other

 

i was going to answer your post but got too lazy haha. well i will give you the wiring. use your stock harness and either rewire the ls distributor or use your stock one. ah **** it i am this far might as well tell you the rest. get HASPORT MOUNTS. or another shitty brand but i prefer hasport. you need a cable tranni or just get the hasport cable to hydro conversion. and shift linkage you can either buy premade ones or modify your stock ones.

just to clarify some of his info..

you cant use your stock distributor. You need to get a 90-91 Teg LS Dist. that will bolt straight to the engine , and then plug right into your harness.

you can either get the hasport linkage (also made by other companies) or you can modify a TEG linkage to fit, not your stock one. You will also need misc pieces like hoses and cables (throttle/clutch)

 

cool thanks!

 

The first thing you need to do is decide if you're going to downgrade the engine to OBD0 Or upgrade the car to OBD1. OBD1 is the better choice BTW. You can't DO anything until you decide THAT. That will tell you which direction to go in. But you will need a cable tranny that's for sure.
HTH

 

you gotta use your stock injectors and resistor box on the b18b motor if you decide to go to obd0 since its low impedance injectors, then you also need a obd0 ecu, if you use the obd0 teg dist.

what happen to taht 90-91 teg engine you pmed me about ?

 

ima stay obdo

 

go buy a 90-91 teg LS Dist. use your obd0 (88crxsi) Injectors. 90-91 pr4 ECU. Hydro conversion kit, hasport mounts and linkage and bingo

oh really you cant modify your stock one's? damn my crx must have came with ls ones then becuase i modified the stock ones. lol. anything is possible with a welder. granted it is easiar to modify the ls ones. it can be done with your stock ones. and as for the distributor. you might be right but i thought my buddy used his stock hf distributor when he did his ls swap. i donno though. anyways thanks for clearin that up.

 

you'll need a tranny .. the 96 is hydro and you need a cable tranny.

 

88 crx si said it all - go buy a 90-91 teg LS Dist. use your obd0 (88crxsi) Injectors. 90-91 pr4 ECU. Hydro conversion kit, hasport mounts and linkage and bingo

i just did the swap, and its not bad at all. u have to extend the map wires off the firewall and i think extend one plug. sell your hydro tranny and get a cable one, itll be easier. youll have to mess with the throttle cable as well. i had a special bracket from jdmshit.com that worked awesome.

By downgrading the engine to OBD0, you do reliase that you are sacrificing something like 10-15 Hp
OBD0 B18A1=130-135Hp
OBD1 B18B1=140-145Hp
Just my .02 cents.
