Hey guys im new to this honda scene and i know i will be buying another crx here soon but i dont want to drive very long on the shitty stock motor. My question im running into is What all is needed to drop in a B16A either 160hp-170hp motor and trans? Also i live in the DC/MD area and im wondering how much could this swap cost me? Please let me know asap

The cost of it is really gonna depend on where u get your motor from but the average price is around 1200 and 1000 dollars. And what your gonna need is a timing belt, water pump, new oil filter, motor mounts, spark pulgs and wires and valve cover seals if their needed. u just have to pretty much just replace all of those things and u got bang in the area where the alternator goes so it fits in there and thats pretty much it if u got any more questions just ask

 

Yea man... i got a guy named ben who is well known for doing Swaps around the area and he said he would do the labor for 800 bucks..

What all is needed to get this motor to fit correctly?

Motor
trans
ecu
wiring harness

what else?

and wheres a good place with low prices so i can get all these items?

Your forgetting motor mounts, shift linkage, axles thats all i can think of

 

I live in your area, Calvert County and im selling my B16a out of my Crx. Its a 1st gen, has 6k miles since it came from japan, and has type r cams installed. Im sellin for $1500. Talk to me on AIM if your interested, and I might have someone that could put it in for $500 or less. Just get in touch with me if your interested.

 

i just got a b16a thru the place that is installing it.

500$ for all the labor and a 6 month warranty
1800$ for the complete engine w/mounts, linkage, and axles

 

you would have to get a shift link from a sir jdm crx and if you get a newer b16 than you would have to buy a cable tranny umm if you got a hydro tranny than hasport a mount kit that would include motor mounts and a hyro to cable conversion for the crx. ummm let me seee.......you would have to get a sir crx or older integra modle distributor, wire up vtec , and get a obd0 vtec ecu. thats all i can think of right now but im sure theres more. ive done a b18c1 crx b4 and it wasent really that fun ahaha

 

Who is this shop doing this for you?


So how hard is it to convert the cable trans to a hydo trans?

 

The cable to hydro conversion is quite simple as long as you use hasport's new cable to hydro conversion mount kit. All you will need to do is source a hydro b series transmission.
