First off, the ZC is JDM(most likely) or from Europe , so its not from an 88-91 Si in the US, it came in the CRX's in europe and Japan. and the B16 didn't come in a 88-91 Si-R. Second, this question has been asked a million times, so search or look around in the forums and you will find the answer. yes you can put the ZC in b/c the 86 Si is Fuel injected, it will basically mount up the same. The B16 will be a bitch to pit in b/c the space u have in a first gen crx is hella small. i had one and was gonna swap, but sold it instead. U can do it but it will be a tighter fit than the second gen.(88-91) and u will have to wire for VTEC with the B16. If u really want the B series go for it , and that would be a bad ass car, cuz 1st gen.'s only weigh like 1600-1700 lbs.

the 88-91 ZC (black valve cover) will not work in the 1st gen CRX - the mounts won't fit and the 88-91 uses the L3 transmission which also will not fit - what you need is the 86-87 ZC (brown valve cover) and you will need 86-89 Integra transmission, axles, knuckles/hubs and complete shift linkage - you will need to use the CRX mounts on the rear cross-member and on the front (timing belt end) and the Integra mount on the transmission - don't use the CRX mount on the transmission, as it will make the engine sit crooked - use the 86-87 Integra ECU and distributor (if your ZC doesn't come with distributor)

Getting an idea for my car. I could grab a !st gen CRX, do the B16. Then i would have an ugly ass car no one would want to break into. Hey i was told that the 1st gen was about 400 lbs lighter than 2nd gen, sounds like a little toomuch of a difference, is it true?
Hey Sleeper, how much did ur friend spend on the swap?? did he do it himself, or did a shop do it?
