I bought a 1990 CRX hf for $1400. Its kinda a piece right now but it has a rebuilt engine so it will last me for a few months until I do the engine swap.
I want to swap a b16a into it. Now I know I am going to need a new tranny, axles, ecu, and engine (duh). So is there anything else that I need? Its not that I don't know anything, I know a lot, but I was planning on getting an Si but I didn't so I don't know if I need extra stuff besides for axles.
Oh and does anyone know where I can find some Si seats or maybe even a complete Si interior set?

You are gonna need an adjustable shift linkage, motor mounts, and the upper and lower radiator hoses if I remember correctly. You can get the mounts from HAsport, HCP, or Place Racing. HAsport also sells the shift linkage.
As for other things, you might want to replace the water pump, timing belt, etc.... Preventative maintenance while the engine is out.
If your looking for an Si interior, try Ebay, and the junk yards. (duh) I forgot the name of the website, but I think it's autopartstrader or something like that. I know someone around here can tell you.

I'm in the same situation - upgrading to SI seats was one of the best things I could have done - much better back support...
Check out www.thepartstrader.com - picked up my seats in really nice condition for about $400. :D

also, since you have the hf, youre gonna need to swap out the knuckles/hubs in favor of ones off an si, or maybe dx..not sure about the dx though. Otherwise your axles arent gonna fit

No you're rite.The si and the dx are the same. The HF is different.:)

Also, since you have an HF, you're gonna wanna hang on to your upper exhaust manifold. It works great as a turbo manifold and will bolt right up to several turbos, including the 1g eclipse.

Ok, I'm dumb. you're doing a B16. It won't fit on a B series, only the D series. I guess that's what I get for having turbo on the brain. Let me revise. Hold on to that manifold and sell it to someone who has a SOHC vtec or ZC so that they can visit that website and build a home made turbo kit.
