Here is the deal i have a friend who was give a 88crx with clear title. He is willing to give it to my brother. And we were playing with the idea of putting a motor in it and making it a beater/sleeper/daily driver and i was thinking b18a atfirst, because i have a b18b in my 90 civic and we know what all is involved. He was thinking maybe b16a1 just to have something diffrent. But he wants to stay around 1,500 dollars for the hole swap. And i got looking on ebay and was thinking b20b. Anyone have this. I assume it uses the same mounts? And also can we run an non obd distributor, injectors, map, alt ? Also will a b18a trans mount up and what axles to use?

 

use all the same stuff you would use in a b18 swap the only thang i'm not sure about are the axels and ya an obd0 dizzy will work fine as long as its out of a b16/b18 pre1992 i beleive

 

http://www.driveshaftshop.com/ for axles. Any other axles setup will not be ideal. From axle binding to axle chatter.

But you can use 86-89 Integra axles and halfshaft. Some mount kits require 90-93 integra axles. Remember to ask when getting your mount kit.

You will need a intake manifold from a 90-01 LS Integra.

90-93 Integra shift linkage, shortened.

A 90-93 Integra rear transmission mount.

Lastly a OBD0 bseries distributor; http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=763855

 

go w/a b20z instead.. .more power due to cams and higher compression. b20b is like 8.8:1 . really low. 120hp or something like that.

 

if u use a obd-0 integra tranny ys1, or s1 u can use normal integra axles u get form discount or autozone... get the non-abs axles.

 

any 90-93 teg tranny will work, there's nothing obdx about trannies.

 

pretty simple stuff.
do some searches. Check HAsports site for axles/fitment. Youll need to change the intake mani for it to fit under the hood.
If youre familiar with the b18b in your civic, its the same deal. you can use anything bolt on from a b18b. The differences are in the bore and pistons.

 

yes but the obd-0 trannies in the 90-93 integras are all cable which is what he will need, just trying to keep it simple for him.

 

92-93 teg's are obd1 w/ cable trannies
