Stay with me here.
First off you ask why would I want to put a d16y8 into a CRX?? Why not bigger huh??? Well you see this is going to be a race car, no not a see how fast I can get my car to go, but a car to race in a 4 cyl SOHC stock class. I live in WI where is is very hard to find a CRX that is not rotted out and well I found this one with a good shell, bad motor and tranny, and at a steal price. B)
My friend has a 97 Ex and wants to do a b16 swap, actually I would do most of the work, and in return I would get his engine, tranny, computer combo.
Now mounting the engine will be easy, but I am a bit worried about going from OBD0 all the way to OBD2 and getting the engine to run properly. I know I will need to find the wiring from the engine to the computer, since I will need to keep that in for the b16 in the 97, but what else am I going to need to do???? What parts should I be looking for??
My other option is just throwing in a stock CRX SI engine tranny combo easliy for about $400 for the enginetrannycomputercombo, but I want more horse, plus I get the VTEC for virtually free!!!!
Also, I am going to need pedals for the hydro clutch and shift linkage.
If anyone has any info or PARTS please let me know. Thanks!!!
