I had a similar problem with the starter on my 1989 CRX Si. Sometimes, it would just click..click..click and the starter wouldn't turn the motor. I took it to the mechanic, they replaced the starter and it still wouldn't start. I replaced the main relay, no luck. After dealing with it for...

Another GSR head inquiry......I'm in CA too, where are you located?In case you aren't local, how much to ship it to 92649?Paul

Here's my 2-cents on this: I have the stock LS in mine right now. Here is my build https://hondaswap.com/hybrid-ed-ef-da/big-thanks-hondaswap-com-149125/ Both the B20 and B18 bottom ends are built pretty strong. Many a modder has built reliable high-horsepower motors out of both. Just make...

I did the B18A swap into my 89 CRX Si and have these parts left over in my garage. Everything else i have already sold. Parts are located in Orange County, CA. I will not ship the transmission, everything else I will. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. Transmission, 153k miles, smooth, no...

Blanco and Calesta, Thanks for the tip on the LSVTEC build in the reference section. I've glanced through it and it looks VERY thorough. I'll follow it to the letter. In case someone else is looking for it, here it is: https://hondaswap.com/general-tech-articles/build-reliable-ls-vtec-85477/

Calesta you freakin ROCK. It's so refreshing to have some actually READ the post, really understand what I'm looking for, and lay out an intelligent, experienced reply. LSVTEC was my phase 2 from the get go and that's what it's gonna be. And as far as doing it right goes, that is not a...

This post has taken a turn for the worse. Focus guys....focus....oohhmmmmmmmm

Okay, so the LS is officially swapped and running like a champ in the old CRX. Other than an oil leak from the pan and a hellaciously squeaky alternator belt that will both get taken care of this weekend, the project is officially complete and a success. Here's some details on the swap...

I just ran across this problem and wasn't able to find the exact solution on this site, so I'd thought I would share my experiences with all of you. This problem started when I finished swapping a B18 into my CRX Si. I found when making right hand turns there was a grinding / clunking /...

That plugged vacuum line was the problem. No more CEL, no more codes. Took it for a short test drive last nite (still no exhaust) and it runs and shifts perfectly. Idle is nice and stable, everything seems great. I left it out of my original build description but this was much more than just a...

I think I found the problem with the MAP sensor. The small metal tube that connects the vacuum lines between the throttle body and the map sensor was plugged. A little intake cleaner blew it right out. But it's too late to fire the car tonite (currently without an exhaust system, headers...

Cranked over the CRX today and it finally fired up. Had to throw a big thanks out to HondaSwap as this site has been my primary source of information since I started this project almost 3 years ago. That's right 3 years...through personal setbacks, home additions, the birth of my 2nd child, and...

Thanks jlicrx....that is exactly what I needed to see. It will really help me get the vacuum lines right, too. :worthy: I plan to make a map for my own use. When I get it done I will post it here for others, too.

With all due respect. I think you guys are wrong. Here is a copy of the electrical schematic for the 89 CRX SOHC that shows a connection to the Fast Idle Control Solenoid Valve. It may be a mechanical valve but it appears that it provides data to the ECU and therefore has electrical connections...

I've got the motor in completely, clearance for alternator looks good, brackets all in place, ecu is in, I think the harness is complete except for the one connector I posted this thread about. I'm going to start the vacuum and cooling lines shortly and hopefully be done with them this...

Hey man, sorry. The sarcasm was uncalled for. BTW... I looked at that post and it seems you never identified the sensor in the pics. I'm pretty sure it is the EGR valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation?). My Haynes manual says it existed on auto tranny B18s only, but I bought an intake manifold...

I think I found the answer.... How about: Fast Idle Thermo Valve (FITV) aka Fast Idle Valve (FIV) aka Fast Idle Control Valve (FICV)

Maybe I wasnt clear about this (or maybe you didnt look at the pictures). The connector on the wire harness is down by the oil filter. The sensor it originally plugged into is the one in the photo on the back of the intake manifold. As far as not connecting the oil pressure sensor, thats great...

I'm doing a standard swap: 1990 B18A1 OBD0 into 1989 CRX Si. Right now I'm swapping the wiring harness off the D16 on the B18 and I found an extra connector on the harness on the back near where the oil filter is. I've looked around but I can find nowhere to plug it in. I looked at the...
