B20 SWAP INTO 86 CRX SI

[OldSkoolCrex]

LET ME START WITH THIS: Putting a '98 b20b into a 86 CRX SI is generally a bad idea. I got the engine and car for next to nothing so I feel obligated to try the swap.

I did some research and want people to give opinions:

I want to run to B20b in my 86 Si. I think the HP and Torque are OK for now so I'm not doing the VTEC mod.

I plan on using a b18b intake (to resolve height issue), a p75 '94 integra ECU and complete engine harness, modded integ. shift linkage with custom motor mounts and axles.

I am still looking for a b-series tranny.

I am aware that I will need to upgrade the fuel pump.

Can anybody think of other issues that i'm missing?

Wrong: It's an excellent idea. The light weight of the 1st gen CRX is a great candidate for the extra power. There are a few thing you should know though, and you'll probably find all the answers at Red Pepper Racing.

sounds like if you got skill at a lil bit of custom fabrication you got it under wrap
