I finally got my car back from the swap and I have a few problems so all the help anyone can give is appreciated. The swap is a jdm b16 into an 88' crx si. First what the hell is a transmission with the first 2 digits of A1 and where does it come from, and is it any good(ie can I add Limited slip). Next one or two of my fuel injectors has a knock and when I wiggle the wires on one of them the knock gets worse but then lessens when I let go of the wires. When I step on the gas hard the engine hesitates like its not getting enough fuel, I have been told the stock fuel pump on the crx isn't big enough to handle the b16's fuel need, If not should I just get a walbro type pump(since I plan on going turbo), and a fuel pressure regulator. The car has a vibration to it almost like I had knobby off road tires (I don't have off road tires) the vibration is way more than it had with the stock engine, I have been told this is due to the engine mounts now being urethane and not the stock rubber. Speaking of motor mounts this jackass put 14 mm bolts through 2 of them instead of 17mm stock, his reason.. 17's were to big to fit. The shifter is the one for the crx mounted on the 90-93 teg linkage but the position of the stick is shifted to the right, i.e. first is now where 3rd used to be and 3rd is where 5th used to be. I have aftermarket gauges(electrical gauges by autotechnic) that have there own sensors for oil temp and oil pressure and need help on finding the right place to put them in. Should I get an air fuel and fuel pressure guage? also am I in danger right now of running to lean because of the fuel pump not being up to par? There is an air hose coming from a cylinder beside the map sensor on the firewall that is not connected to anything the cylinder next to it, which is identical, goes to the throttle body should the two hoses be t fitted together then run to the throttle body? The last thing that this idiot yahoo mf'r tried to pass off was that the msd blaster ss coil could not be wired to my distributer (I have a msd cap) without using the sci ignition box because the coil needs an input signal to now when to trigger, I have already talked to secret services and I know that the signal for the external coil comes from the same wires that the internal coil uses and that you extend the wires to reach the external coil.....no msd ignition box required, whats your opinion. Yes I know why did I go somewhere other than secret services or lht, well my motor blew and I had no cash, secrect services is cash only and lht was more expensive but after waiting a month for the car, having to figure out all this shit and fix it, then still have to put my own ac compressor back on (which was promised to be done) and get it re serviced, I would have gladly paid more or waited till I got cash. Thanks In advance for any help.

 

The stock fuel pump can easily handle a b16a swap so no problem there. The vibrations are probably due to the guy using the wrong mount bolts. What kit did you use? Unless you are running a turbo setup then don't even bother with the msd coil or an a/f ratio gauge, those things are useless.

 

paragraphs man,my head now hurts from reading this

 

sorry about the gramatical faux pas. the mount kit is hasport. if others are having problems reading let me know and i'll re-post with paragraphs. thanks

 

The Hasport kit is good, I've used it plenty of times on swaps and even on my race car project. All the bolts they supply are the right ones to use. sounds like the shop got lazy.
