well heres the deal guys, i have a CRX with a '95 LS motor in it and i want to swap it out for a B18C-R engine. will this swap be a head ache or relatively easy? the eingine is from a 98 type-r and comes with tranny, ECU, distributor, intake and exhaust manifold, alternator, power steering pump, vtec solenoid and half shaft, and shift linkage......any tips on how to take care of this or is it too much of a headache to complete and don't even bother with it...
thanks guys

 

Its not that hard. you can reuse your axels and shift linkage. For the tranny you have 2 choices:
- get a cable/hydro conversion
- sell the hydro tranny for a 92/93 gsr cable YS1

If you don't already, get a obd1 conversion, then use an s100 or s200 Hondata box to reprogram your ecu to the IR engine.

thanks again guys and if there are any more tips that you might have about this swap let me know
