JAP SPEC crx

Umm - B16A has different mounts to a ZC when it goes into a Si 2rd gen CRX. The EF8 SiR CRX and EF9 Civic are a complete rework from the firewall forward. The crossmembers wont bolt into any other EF (or Aussie ED) etc. So you need the Place or Hasport custom mounts.

early tegs (rover) have D16a3
Aus spec CRX has D16a8 (similar to zc etc etc)

check near gearbox/exhaust manifold for engine code

sorry, i think i am being unfair - McChook, maybe you are not being specific enough?

yes, it will fit, but you need custom mounts etc...

B16a should, the mounts are OEM, shouldn't be hard to buy

If it is a second generation CRX, then the mounts are not custom, they are OEM, since they had the B16a's in them in Japan, So I don't see how they would need to be custom

Good mate of mine did the conversion last year with a JDM SiR halfcut and used the engine mounts from the halfcut.

your mate put a B16A into a 1st gen Integra?

using stock mounts?

and I said second gen anyways, but no prob, just be careful before you try and slam people. I will always think I am wrong if you do, then get confused

**tinkerbell** · 10-03-2004 11:28 AM

plus a wiring loom and ecu and everything you will need for the conversion - i can even fit it for you!!!
