help with crx swap

[Scilingo]

Hi, im going to be doing a motor swap with a friend of mine and i just need some help and tips from those who have done it before...basiclly a point in the right direction...Heres the set up:
1-B16a(SIR) w/ a hydro tranny that i put on when it was in my civic
2-91 CRX Si shell
3-p28ecu

I just need to know if i need to buy or do anything else before i start that, way i dont run into any problems...Thx alot, i dont have a car right now, so i gotta get this done inorder to get to work

bahahahaha

oh shit, where to begin here...

first off, you're gonna need a mount kit to put the B16 in the CRX...
hasport.com is your frind as you will see...

next, you need a cable to hydro conversion so you can use that tranny in the CRX... available from hasport...

next, you're gonna need some axles... also available from hasport...

P28 ecu, is for a sohc, and is OBD1... your shell is OBD0...
you can either get a OBD0->OBD1 conversion harness and have the P28 chipped to run a B16, or get yourself a PW0, or PR3 ecu, which is the JDM OBD0 B16 vtec computer...

you also need to worry about the shift linkage, also available from hasport...

check this link out...

hasport does offer some wiring solutions... check into it...

bseries axles,

 

[Scilingo]

Also, it wont be smog legal, and theres nothing i could do about that right?

 

[Scilingo]

will my headers (dc 4-1) fit also??

 

[Scilingo]

But that is it, the Mounts, the obd1 to obd0 conversion harness...because i do have a chipped p28 so i need to know the correct one..and the linkage

 

[Scilingo]

do you think its worth it, or am i wasting my time too?

 

[Drake]

Is what worth it?? All that money and effort to do the swap? Well that is up to you. It is quit a bit of money but agian its all up to you. If your header is for a D - Series motor I dont think it will fit on a B series.

I have a b16 crx and I can tell you it is well worth it. I love my crx, the b16 is quite powerful in it. It's a fun car to drive and I wouldn't do a honda any other way

btw - I spent ~$3000 on my swap.

 

[Scilingo]

yea.. i got the shell, and i just ordered the mounts n shiftlinkage package, and i also ordered the conversion harness last night. so the rex is gonna be ready sooner tha i thought............but the headers that i have on my b16 that im puttin into the crx has DC 4-1 headers on it............i just want to know if there are 2 O2 sensors, or one........cuz theres only 1 bung on the header...

 

[Citizen_Insane]

you'll need 2 O2 sensors. If the header only has 1, you need to have another bung welded onto it to fit the other sensor.

the P28 looks for 2 o2's?

[post=477009]Quoted post[/post]​

no, the p28 you only need one o2 sensor.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I meant if he was going to use the right ecu, meaning PR3 or PW0

 

[Taco15]

i've got 1 o2 on my dc headers and a PWO ecu. no codes at all.
