Me and a few other people I know got a full swap from hmotorsonline.com and it's been good. Pay the extra $300 for the LSD, if you ever plan to boost, it's worth it. Installing it later will cost you way more than $300.

shipping will cost around $350

I can't remember what series motor you have but if you wiring harnes is for an HF motor, you will be in serious need of someone who can hook up your wiring. Kevin is good 909-2204.

solo_mata_me gave you a really good idea of everything that you need. hmotors does include the ECU for the engine in the swap. Although the engines comes with low mileage if you are only planning a swap without perfoming out the engine, you won't need to do the clutch. That can save you over $400 right there.

I also suggest replacing the fuel filter (your year CRX filter), front and rear main seal, timing belt, cap, rotor, plugs, water pump, and pcv valve. The rest of these parts come off of a 95 Del Sol Vtec DOHC if you go with a B16A Sir1.

That's another thing to be prepared for, when you're in need of parts you have to order for the engine and tranny. Your car may be a CRX but now it has a Del Sol motor for example. So you'll have to know what parts have to come from what.

Also be prepared to modify the exhaust so that it hooks up off the downpipe. It's minor.

I wouldn't suggest welding the mounts, buy Place Racing or Has Port.

Face it you are going to have to spend $$$, so spend it to do it the right way the first time or pay and pay later on.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
