i'm about to buy a 87 CRX Si and i was wonderin if an LS Integgy motor will fit in it, if it won't, what would be a better swap?? :thinking: :eh:

Fit yes, but any b-series is going to require mounts, wiring work, axles, custom shift linkage...

custom shift linkage? i thought i'd be able to use what comes on a stock 89 rex? or would that not work either? what all would i need to do?

You'll just need to cut the stock linkage and weld in a piece of metal to make it the right length, both the steady rod and the shifter.

ok my friend got a crx (we already took the stock blown engine out) and he got a 1990 b18, 5spd tranny, harness and ECU out of an LS teg. now i got 3 questions since i'm helpin him do the swap.

1. what do i do with the wiring...would anyone have any diagrams? will i need to seperate the lighting harness from the engine harness? do i need to repin anything?

2. could someone give me the dimension of that piece that has to be welded in? i have a good friends who welds for a living and he can do almost anything. does anyone have any pics of the welded linkages for the b18 swaps?

3. is there any way to get around the fact that i need to buy expensive engine mounts? are there any JY parts that i could use? or modify the stock ones?


thanks alot...we hope to get this running soon so we can turbo it

there is no way around the mounts.try place racing motor mounts there half the price of the hasport ones and work just as well,you can use the passenger side mount from an integra and the rest are from place racing there like $250. as aposed to hasports hefty price tag.

The wiring for the LS is pretty straight forward. Guys over on www.redpepperracing.com will be able to help you with it more than I could.
