for the B18 into the CRX, you need the B-series tansmission & intermediate shaft, 90-93 Integra axles, mount kit (like Hasport) and shift linkage (like Hasport) - if your CRX is the HF model, you will need to swap the knuckles/hubs for ones from a 88-91DX/Si/LX/EX - whatever the model, use the engine harness that is on the car and modify it where required - Si and HF harnesses should plug right in - if the car is a DX model, you will need to convert the wiring from DPFI to MPFI - you didn't say what year the B18 is - OBD0 90-91 is no problem - OBD1 92-up will require additional wiring changes or changes to the engine depending on whether you want to run OBD0 or OBD1

Yes it has been done MANY times,1,xxx,xxx,xxx times over.
Do a search and your questions will be answered.

well, stock it is only 130hp - due to the additional 100lbs or so that you will be adding with the B18 engine, tranny, etc. the stock engine is not going to be much quicker than your Si - unless you convert it to LS-VTEC, it is kind of a dog - there are several D-series engines that make just as much power, and essentially bolt right into your car without having to buy the transmission, mounts, shift linkage, axles, etc. required for the B-series engine - some of those engines are the JDM D15B VTEC, JDM SOHC ZC VTEC,
JDM DOHC ZC non-VTEC, USDM D16Z6 VTEC and USDM D16Y8 VTEC - these all have 130hp and don't add any weight to your car, except for the DOHC ZC which adds less than 15lbs.

i am happt to finally here someone respect the dseries on here.i wouldnt waste my time with the b-18 unless it was a b-18c,the b-18 plain ls motor puts down 150 h.p. tho not 140 and ls vtec puts 180 h.p the type r is like 200 h.p. why waste ur time and money on hasport?? i can put down well over 250 h.p on a mini me d15b with z6 head or plain old z6 complete boosted plus well over 200 lbs less weight!!!
