Help On How To Frankenstien My Crx

[GENONCARL]

HEY I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYONE HERE WHO KNEW ALOT ABOUT CRX'S

I HAVE A 91 CRX THAT I WANNA DO AN ENGINE DROP ON BUT IM KINDA DEBATING ON WHAT I WANNA GET. I HAVE $2800 AND I WAS THINKING OF A B16A(2) UNTIL I HEARD OF A FRANKENSTIEN ENGINE.

I DONT REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT. I WAS THINKING OF A LS LONGBLOCK AND A B16A HEAD. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THAT WORKS AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST.

THIS WOULD REALLY HELP ME IF SOMEONE CAN TELL ME HOW IT WORKS.

THANKS

CARL

first of all the b16a2 is a obd 1, which then you would have to swap your car form obd0 to obd1. then since the b16a2 came with a hydraulic trannny, you need to find a cable tranny.

yeah a ls block with a b16a1 head would be the easiest since the a1 is obd 0. but be warned that ls vtec has its problems like first the ls has a poor oiling system so if you rev past 7000 then dont expect your engine to last that long, most people use a b16 oil pump and squiters to oil the engine since the b16 is ment to rev that high, second since the ls has a bad rod ratio thingy it makes it easier to snap a rod and it puts alot of pressure on the cylinder walls.

the local shop over here prices a ls vtec setup at $1500, that includes the b16 head, new oiling system and installation, ecu.
