first of all I'm new to this b18 swap into a crx. I got a b18 from a acura ls and I was just wondering what model or make on where can I get and axle to fit into my crx 89. Info would be very nice to know what do I need to complete swap into a crx. thank's guys..

 

anybody did this swap before?

 

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

 

sorry about that. the motor is from 91 acura integra.and I have a 89 crx Si. one question more please. what should I expect of power from this motor?

 

haha thats funni ...i am going to do the same thing with my crx si ..i am going to put a B18 engine in mines and i was also wondering about how abouts to swap it ..jus found it funni..but my best be is to go to junk yards ..there are so many ova here ..ill find everything ill need for cheap ..

 

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.

 

just did b18a1 in my boys hatch they are not that hard to swap at all took us 2 days taking our time pretty much but i had just put one in my 92 that was a cake walk 4 my first drop

 

Hey so i got a 1990 SI CRX an have a B18 block an head non Vtec i have 9:1 forged pistons an plan to do alot of rebuilding to the head an block because i plan to turbo it what other aftermarket parts should i buy. What else should i buy complete the swap like trani motor mounts etc.... My goal is a 10 sec car thanks alot

 

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!!!
