Ek conversion

[MikeyG]

hey guys,

I might buy a b16a jdm from a crx... just wondering what i might need for it to run on my ek

[VTec1987]

i don't think that will be possible buddy, the motor will be to old for your car

[vinnY]

afaik it'd probably be cable clutch too.. no good for your ek

[LLS]

What year is the motor? I think it'll be too old for your car.. only newer (1998+) engine are able to go on your EK :)

[Limo]

what year crx? if its from a gen2 (89-91) the engine will bolt up, but everything else is pretty much usless, the delsol crx (92-97?), it will work as the gearbox is a hydro.

then you'll need the usual engine mounts, driveshalfts, shift linkage, ecu, loom.. do a quick search

a prob you might find is that if the engine is older than your car, you may have difficulties getting it registered..thats in vic, not 100% sure for nsw.

[MikeyG]

hmmm i think its either 92 or 94 crx jdm so yeah :( damm

[Limbo]

for the price get a b18 from a vti-r about the same price with more torque

[MikeyG]

i thought vti-r has b16a???

[vinnY]

he means integra vti-r

Laws state that you cannot install an engine that is older than your chassis.
so If you want to put a B16A into your car, your best chances would be with a gen II B16A from a EK4.

[MikeyG]
