Do a search, PLEASE!

Info on B-series swaps is easy to come by.

Look in the stickies. The very first thread on this forum is a crx/civic faq and other useful info. It has everything u need to know about swapping a b-series in there. Oh, and yes, swapping a b18b into your crx is easy to do. If i'm not mistaken, that's the 90-93 integra ls engine(obd-0)...

Yup. As well as shift linkage, throttle cable, and I think axles.

Shit. I always get those two confused.
Well if it's a b18b, it's gonna be quite a bit tougher than a b18a. It's an obd-1 engine, and your crx is an obd-0 car. That means that you're gonna have to re-wire your car to work with it. I say screw it, and get a b18a instead. It's practically the same engine(less 10hp), and would save u the trouble of paying someone to rewire your car for obd-1(unless u know how to do it).

A conversion harness does wonders.

Oh yeah.... I was thinking they made a conversion harness from obd-0 to obd-1, and obd-1 to obd-2. That makes things alot easier. I think it just gets tough when u go from obd-0 to obd-2, or visa versa.
