Just bought a 91 CRX i wanted to know what will fit in it? I was thinking of going wit a b18R i'm kinda of newbie to hondas so any info would help.
Thanks Chris

 

It depends what you mean by "fit." Some swaps require nothing but engine mounts and wiring upgrades, some require modifying the frame to get them to fit.

 

Check out this thread:

without having to mod frame. i wanted to put in a type R, i basicly wanted to know if that would fit i know i would have to change the engine mounts and thats prob it. what else do i need to know?
Thanks Chris

 

For a Type R (B18C) engine into a CRX, basics youd have to know... Its an OBD-II (anybody feel free to correct me if Im wrong, I think most are, if not all), and are hydro tranny... So youd have to get B series mounts, figure out how to convert the OBD-0 to OBD-II, and get the hydro tranny to work since yours is cable... As for tranny, someone had a link to make the hydro tranny work in a CRX, it was like hasport or one of those companies who specialize in swaps... So it is possible...

As far as what will fit, the CRX is probably the most versitile chasis Honda has, since its lightweight, someone, somewhere, has at one time, tried to swap in every Honda engine known to man... Because of this, there is just about a bolt kit for all of the popular engines out now, (including now even the K series) to make that engine fit the CRX... It also differs on what you want to do with the car... Drag, street, ect? For a daily driver, I think the best option is probably a B16A1, relatively easy swap (both mechanically and as far as wiring), decent price, decent amount of power, and plenty of room for improvements...

 

do you know where i can get the link to switch to the hydro trans would be a big help. Thanks Chris

you will also have to get new shift linkage or get yours sized to fit. there is more, im trying to do the same thing, just getting parts together. g/l on your project

 

So what about switching it to ODB2 is it as hard it sounds. Doesn't it just take changing the sensors to do that? Thanks Again Chris

 

Just convert back to OBD-0 and switch everything to cable....I think that would be alot easier if I am not mistaken. Someone correct me if I am wrong!!
