Ok........ I recently have decided to drop a b16 into my 88 crx si. I came across a b16a2 from a civic si that i had planned to use. My car i assume OBD0 and the b16 is OBD1 so do i have to convert this and if so what will i need to complete the conversion?

Sorry if this is a stupid question

 

The motor is odb2 and are you going to use the hydro tranny or a cable one?

 

cable

 

Over a thousand dollars. Mounts, shifter linkage, axles and intermediate shaft, and various (expensive) electronic bits depending how you want to run the engine.

 

So it would be like a b16a1 swap. I guess what i want to know is how simular or diffrent a b16a2 swap is from a b16a1 swap using a cable tranny in a crx.

 

The B16A1 doesn't exist. Don't confuse B16A generations with "A1, A2" etc.The A2 in it's Civic and del Sol forms use hydro transaxles, as well as OBD-II management systems. Both have to be delt with prior to swapping into an OBD-0, cable trans CRX.

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me . Would i be able to clear up the hydro transaxles proble by using a hydro tranny? Can i use a hydro tranny in a crx? And what would i need to convert the OBD0 (CRX) to OBD-II (ENGINE)

 

Buy a cable trans from a first gen B16A, that's the easiest way to do it.

If it was up to me, I'd modify the stock harness to run the new engine. Have a service manual and electrical troubleshooting manual ready.

 

thanks kai , you have answered alot of my other posts and helped alot on this one.
one more question
Can you buy a harness that is aready motified and save some time?

 

HASport sells an add-on harness for first gen B16A's, but I don't know if they'll hybrid an entire harness for you. That would be about as much work as the 3G hybrid harnesses they sell for $350ish.
