can i get any info from anyone who has swapped a b18a1 into a crx? what do i need to do to make the swap? i know that there needs to be some room made
for the alternator, but is there anything else? Is there any other modifications that i need to make? Does the same axle fit and do i need to make any modifications to the shift linkages or anything? I am using the same tranny as well. any info will help.

 

ya ur gonna need to customize ur shift linkage.

 

you should use the "search" function.... i know there is plenty of information for you

 

I put a b18a1 out of a 93 integra into my 89 CRX Si. Its real easy. But it depends on what model your car is. All i had to do was use my Si engine harness, Si injectors , got a 90-91 LS distributor, 90-93 non-abs axles, shift linkage, and mounts, oh yeah and a 90-91 ECU. What model is your car?

 

My car is the hf model. Does that mean that I have to get a new harness? If so, which one do i need? 'Also, what do I need to do about the shift linkage? do i need a new one, or do i have to make it fit some how? I have the axles, tranny, ecu, and everything from my 93 integra gs. Also, my gs is equipped with abs. Does that mean that I can't use the axles? Or any other things from the car? I really need some feedback. Never done the swap before. don't want to screw it up. Thanks for replying to my post.

 

Just go to a shop and tell them u need a shift linkage, thats what i did. As for the axles u cant use those, u have to get non abs, and u have to change u spindles to like some dx or Si, and just use your HF engine harness, and if u have the ECU out of the 93 u have to either get the obd0 to obd1 conversion harness, or u can just get the one out of a 90-91integra, and u have to get the 90-91 distributor. It seems like a lot but its not at all, this is all the stuff i went through when i did my swap. Hope this helps.

 

you can get the shift linkage & mounts straight off ebay
search: crx linkage.
search: crx mounts.

 

i'm doing the same swap got the b1.8a1 tranny comp everything the computer will hook right up to the HF harness what i want to know is well this motor bolt right up ........to the HF mounts

nope, you need mounts
ebay!

 

doin the exact swap right now. theres tons and tons and tons of info on this subject on this site. hell i am doing this swap on knowledge ive gathered from here. when people tell you to use the search tool, theyre not just saying that cuz they dont fell like typing (well maybe some of them), theres seriously alot of info in this site. just take the time to use this tool.

**** you need:
-motor
-tranny
-90-91 ecu
-90-93 axels
-your hf wiring harness
-88-91 crx b series shift linkage
-88-91 crx b series motor mounts
-crx si or dx hubs (hf hubs are small to handle its whopping 70hp)
-cherry picker
-patience

good luck, have fun, and enjoy a quick little car when youre done.
