I want to drop a b16a1 into my 91 STD, and my local friends have quoted some pretty outrageous prices on doing this....just looking for info from people who have done this - how much it cost them for all necessary parts (no labor, I've got that handled) and also what parts I'm going to need to get this done right. Also interested in knowing what it would cost to get that 5th gear in there in addition to everything else. Thanks for your help.

 

the minimum you will need is motor, tranny, ecu, mount kit, shift linkage, axles, hubs - you will need to convert from DPFI to MPFI which requires an injector resistor box - to do it right, replace clutch, timing belt, pan gasket and crankshaft seals - will need exhaust work - depending on what you have to pay for parts, it will probably be close to $2500 - $3000 without labor.

 

You do not need to do this. I have an 88 crx hf and I droped a b16A1 into it and did not do this and everything runs fine.

You have a 91 which is newer then an 88.

 

On the 91 Standard you do have to convert to MPFI to run a b16a.

Check my sig for pics of my old std

u need:
new motor mounts(350~500)
new axles (integra works 90)(~174)
make ur exhaust fit the header (no big deal)($20)
integra trotle cable($20)
engine+tranny+ecu ($1,250)
new gasket and seals kit for engine (150)
DPFI to MPFI miscelanius ($50)
shop to swap it ....(500-900)

 

i have a 1990 std this is what it cost me:
Car 500
sold motor -300
engine tranny and ecu 1250
HCP mounts and linkage 220
Hasport wiring harness for STD 120
exhaust 100
axles 110
front hubs off integra GSR $50

and that is all no labor because i did it myself TOTAL: 1950 including the car WHO'S YER DADDY

 

who's yer daddy....that's a good one . Under 2k for the whole deal - i definitely can't beat that. thanks people, you've given this noob something to work with. definitely cheaper than my friends thought. i love this site!

 

BTW Count Blah, did you keep it a 4-spd, and what were you running in the 1/4 (mods?)? Just want to know what I can expect at first, though I'll be adding mods later. **** was lookin' pretty sick there, too bad it's retired .

 

I can perform the complete swap for $350. (Parts not included)

 

hmm.....that's pretty cheap. where are you located?

 

Umm... Your HF was already MPFI from the factory. But any DX or Std is DPFI which needs to be converted. Don't open your mouth if you don't know what you are talking about.

 

You can't keep it a 4-speed. The 4-speed tranny is a D-series, B16 is a B-series and only accepts B trannies, and there are no 4-spd B trannies that I know of or at least that anyone would use.

 

No you cant keep it a 4spd - d series transmissions to not bolt up to b series blocks. I never got a 1/4 mi time (not into drag) but i estimate high 14 to low 15 sec times per the usual.

Thanks. Dammit, I hate being new to imports. This is my first import after owning/working solely on domestics. I'm loath to post anything on this site because of all the ****** out there who are quick to flame noobs like me. At least you were nice about it .

My shop in Chicago is doing it for $3200 for my b16a swap into my CRX, including all parts and labor (b16a w/ Y1 LSD, HA Sport mounts and linkage, timing belt, water pump...).

save yourself some money....
if anyone is in the SC north GA area and need a b16 put in their EF, give me a shout i will do it cheap.... as long as you buy the parts.....


thx
stephan

 

jeez...allmotoref9...well allready gave then 1/2 of the money...sorry...probably would've done some business w/ya...oh well...here i get a written out warranty and crap like that...sorry

P.S. whoever is instant messeging me on the forum for some reason i cant recieve instant messges

You will have to do a little wiring for mpfi but I got my whole setup from Hmotorsonline for $1950, shipped to my house. Included motor, tranny, ecu, axles, hasport linkage, hasport mounts, complete Jdm harness with the resistor box you will need, and 90-93 integra front brakes with the hubs you will need. Props to steve.
