need help, buying crx

I want to buy a CRX to make it my drag car, i dont want to compromise my D17 on my daily driver.

I was just to give a guy 800 bucks for a 88 one, but when i got to see it, it was a 85 one, the owner didnt really knew it..


i have heard things of CRXs of older models (87-) are a bitch to swap.. is this real?


help a confused member!


EDIT: now that i told him that i need a 88+ model he tells me that its good for 500 bucks..

what to do???????

That's a good deal, swapping shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure you're just gonna have to do minor modifications.

just get a 1st gen b16 ob0 it will drop right in.

All you will need is:

*Motor
*Tranny
*ECU
*Different axles ( I believe you can use the ones from the older integras or just get the one from HAsports site)
*Shift Linkage (HAsport site)
*Wiring Harness (Depending if you car is wired for VTEC already will depend on what harness you need. Unless you want to do the wiring by yourself)

Good Luck.

I think it came with a 1.5 engine. Unless of course it was a si model, then it would of been a 1.6. I had an 88 crx si....I loved that car.

you should have bought a newer model. those engine bays are heeeeeeelllllllaaaa small. but your best bet to swap in would be a b16. good luck.
