okay, i am currently buying up parts left and right for a D16Z6 engine, sinking lots and lots of money into this baby. (just a toy/project to get my feet wet with all out drag racing) and i want to start with something incredibly simple. but i have NO clue whats necessary and what will/won't work. the wiring seems easy enough, just get the 92-95 ecu (P28?) and underdash wiring harness as well as the engine wiring harness, i dont need the dash to work as i will be wiring in gauges, no stereo, no a/c, no heater nothing like that. so the wiring part is easy to me. i read up in sport compact car about the D16A1 twin-cam integra swap and i have searched several online forums but it seems that nobody really does anything with the first generation CRX anymore. i realize that i will be getting an SI due to the fact that its easier to work with because of the fuel injection, but my main questions are regarding the mounts, the axles, and the transmission. which transmission do you guys recommend using? will the stock axles work? will the stock engine mounts work? which engine mounts would work best? the base del sol mounts or the 92-95 civic ex mounts? is there even a difference? i would like to get this all figured out before i have a CRX sitting in the garage for several months while i search around on the internet trying to find out who did this 10 years ago. i realize that its a pretty low-tech swap but like i said, i want to start out simple. and these first gen crx's are light as hell.
