Default gsr 89crx

alrighty nothing interesting yet will have some pics up soon.
Starting off its an 89 honda crx hf with a d15b7 dpfi motor.
I just recently got rid of an awd 4g63-t eclipse.
and picked this crx up for 800$ and also bought a full gsr swap but since im not a honda guy i dont know to much about finishing this swap ive read info about ppl swapping in b16 and ls but not to much about a gsr so if anyone has any valuable info plz let me know.

pretty much whats easiest way to get this done need to know what all i need as far as wiring harness so on. ive read you need to redo the harness so it plugs into the crx harness. but if im using a gsr ecu(obd-1) then what would be the point in that. pretty much thats the main thing i need to learn about is the wiring part of this swap.

which mounts would i have to replace or would the mounts from integra drop straight into the crx and fit properly.
i dont want a half assed swap so like i said any info is helpful.
i planned on buying the hasport mounts that drop the gsr into a crx but then i was looking on rywire for a harness(i do have original harness for the gsr) and it said i have to send in both harness for to get them put together for certain things to work correctly. so i dont know.

The axles from the Gsr will not fit the hf spindles so your going to need to upgrade your brakes to dx SI or Da integra brakes. You will need a conversion harness that goes from the Gsr ecu to the main harness on the Crx if you don't have any experience with this I recommend getting in touch with someone reputable to wire it up. You will need a t bracket from a Da integra for the rear mount. Get hasport mounts and shift linkage. Change the timing belt and water pump while the engine is out of the car to save a little extra future work. I'm sure there's more but I'm in a hurry.

alright as far as mounts go i found some innovative mounts. they any good?

would it be easier to just take off the entire thing and drop a DA/SI/DX suspension and all into the front or just replacing the brake.

and for the wiring the current motor has no vtec and the gsr does thats why i wondering about some of the wiring cuz there is no wiring for that and also its only dpfi whereas gsr is multi. obviously. so would i use the engine harness from the gsr?

Innovative will work but i have no experience with them so im not going to say they are good or not.

I recommend the Da setup because you will have bigger brakes, you just need to replace the knuckles the rest of the front suspension parts will need to remain on the car.

That's what the conversion harness is for it will have the extra wires needed to work the vtec stuff etc. You will need the original harness from Tue Crx and the Gsr harness to make one.

You might need a dx or SI harness though cause there might be something diff. About the hf one.

The HF harness works as a great start for OBD1 swaps.

Actually a hydro tranny will fit in the engine bay better
