B18A motor swap DONE! shitload of pics (56K users grab a snack)...
as some of you may know i am putting a B18A1 (USDM) engine and tranny in my 88 CRX HF. here are some pics and commintary on the swap...
we will start off with the work area:
you always need tunes when your working. got my intercooler sitting and waiting for the next phase of this project...
this is the old motor right before pulling it. its a D16A6 (Si motor) and 'DX' tranny. engine has some miles on it and several turbo miles (with shitty boost control), and the trannys bearings are fucked too (might be why it was in a car at the junkyard
)
ahh pic of the motor mid pull...btw i pulled the motor all by my self, didnt think anyone would show up friday night to help...
not a clutch expert but i see some pretty colors
there was some good amounts of heat in this clutch. looks suprizingly good for a junkyard clutch that seen boost on may occasions...
pics of my ARIZONA RACE & MACHINE billet engine mounts (btw if your out there listening i could use a Twin-Trac soon
). these are really nice mounts, you cant say no to billet there too sexy, also very solid, you can shake the engine and the whole car will move.
its a PR4/PR3/PM6/PM7....it does it all!!! haha im running some PR4 tune i found. PR4 + FI 160% boost comp, .7 retard, 450s etc (no im not boosted)
the 91 teg "A1" tranny i got from onyx, not too many missing or broken parts
my T3 .63ar exhaust housing that will be going on the B18. not sure what happen to the pic of the rest of it...
anyway thats about it. oh here is the info on my setup:
88 CRX HF
90 B18A1 (USDM)
91 teg A1 tranny
90-93 teg non-ABS axles/inter. shaft
stock header
Greddy SP exhaust
Cold air intake
Zdyne SECU Gold w/450s running PR4 tune
all gay vacuum lines and ---- they connect to gone, just what is needed (boost gauge, MAP, FPR, PCV)
