Crx Swap Info

[CrazyJ18769]

HI I have a 91 CRX with the Stock D15 non-VTEC Engine. What I am Trying to figure out is Trans I want to keep the Car Automatic But I want to Drop a B18C5 ( 98-00 Integra Type R ) JDM engine in. So I guess My real Question Is...

What Is a B series Auto Trans With LSD?

[BullShifter]

I can't really help you, but why do you want auto if swapping a B18C5?

Welcome to AF, btw.

One more thing, converting auto to manual is not worth the time/money, IMO. Sell car, buy a manual then do a swap.

[CrazyJ18769]

Well I would like to keep the car and do the swap With Auto Trans So dose an automatic LSD trans Even Exist

[CrazyJ18769]

So Would It Be Better To Get Just Any AutoMatic Trans That Would Bolt Up And then Buy a LSD form Some where And put it in

getting an auto tranny for c5 would be a waste of money.

edit- getting a c5 would be a waste of money, gsr with the cash you saved instead of buying a c5 would be so much better.

So Haveing A 200hp Automatic would be a waste of money

Swap it to stick. The only prior mechanical knowledge I had was doing my suspension and brakes. The only part that sucks is gathering all the parts and every last little bolt and cover. Be prepared for some frustration. Oh, and I also dont know how to drive stick (learning on my friends Saturn)...finished my car this morning after it had been snowing for 2 hours...now the roads are a slush puddle. I'll be posting a how to soon that explains the conversion in more detail then the link in the FAQ at the top of the page.

So I guess What Everyone Is Saying They dont know of an Automatic trans that will work With a B18C5
know matter what it will be an Automatic.

well having a engine that makes all its hp in the upper rpm range and not being able to be use its power because of the auto tranny which cant rev that high would be a waste. c5 needs to be in the upper rpms to make power. why do you think the c5 never had an auto version .

also i honestly dont think that paying around 5000 for the swap would be worth it when you can do a gsr swap for 3000 or a b20 for even cheaper than that and buy some decent cams or turbo charge it all for the same price as the c5.

stock the c5 is good but why not build a cheaper b series engine better than the c5?

[CrazyJ18769]

Well I plan To Build the Trans and Engine to run smoothly and be able to use the higher hp with an auto trans

[CrazyJ18769]

OK so A b16 Auto trans will work but I also want LSD so Is there one or would I have To rebuild one with it
