Re:single cam into 1rst gen crx
 

put a d16a1 in there.

Re:single cam into 1rst gen crx
 

thats a zc from the 1rst gen teg right? if that fits then the d15b vtec should fit too with a 1rst gen teg tranny or a 4th gen civic tranny.

am i right or wrong?

Frank, I posted that stuff a while ago, because I had found a 1g for $200 and was wondering if i could've swapped my D into her.

From what I've looked into, its not worth it. I think that you have to eliminate one of the motor mounts, and it rattles like a bitch :-\

Hey, I'm the co-founder of rpr and we have done a 88-91 JDM SOHC ZC with a 92-95 S20 LSD trans into an 87 Civic hatch. It is a full custom install, it took us 5 weeks and the mounts were fairly easy, the hardest part was the hydro-to-cable clutch setup, here's some pics:

Car as it is now, my buddy who is the other c0-founder of rpr raced it and won his class championship in his first year of Solo 1. Thecar is incredibly fast with a stock motor, this winter will bring a cam change along with a DIY ITB setup and we will finish the front cage.

:o, wow, finaly some real feed back!!!.

j/k, but thats beautiful, but seems like alot of work, i think id rather just save up and pay the guy to paint my car instead ::)

nice setup, i need to see a vtec head and a snail bolted to it real soon! ;D

Re:single cam into 1rst gen crx
 

It was a ton of work, I swear I'll never do it again, BUT the finished product is INCREDIBLE!!!

Me and a buddy asked this same ? on RPR and our answer was "Its not worth it". We had plans on building a Grassroots challenger. We had a 1st gen body and lots of d-series laying around in case of mistakes. By the looks of the pics it doesnt look to difficult, but with out jobs welding and fabbing is a must. We were gonna try to boost and spray. :)

what axles were used for the swap?

Re:single cam into 1rst gen crx
 

EG S20 inner CV's with stock axles and stock outer CV's.
