I have a 87 crx hf. it had a d16a2 (carb)… it sucked, but good gas mileage! anyway right now it is sitting in my garage with the engine/tranny almost ready to pull. i have 90% of the front end disassembled and both front wheel assemblies(inc. CV joints/axels) are off… My plans on the rex is to swap in a B18B1 w/ y80 tranny, build up low end with cams, and run a 3" exhaust all the way back. with some more fun little side projects… (ie turbo, roll cage, air intake, hondata s300, etc.) I prefer if i dont go vtec because of the possibility of the addition the turbo. the trick is going to be the wiring from OBD0 -\> OBD1, i know theres a conversion kit but its still gonna suck. i have 2 of my friends helpin cause this is my first swap but if you guys have any suggestions with anything or if you could give me any good sources to find any parts… all help is appreciated. ERuss, pgh ---

Welcome. Unless you are boosting…a b18 non-VTEC does not need 3" exhaust. ---

Ya i plan on possibly boosting it… i’m hoping somewhere around 12psi because the b18b1 can handle that much but it’d probably be more around 9psi… the 3" exhaust I’m sure would give my car problems with the loss of so much back pressure. but i’m going for the “weed wacker on crack” sound, while i blow past bmws and mustangs… lol ---

There is no big difference bewtween a b18a and b18b the only thing that makes a big difference is the cams(10hp), fan switch and the dizzy. other then that its a direct plug. and there is nothing trickey about obd0-obd1 its a harness. also vtec and boost is a very good thing together. it looks like your thinking its not good to mix the two. welcome to the site. just for the heads up this board is split up between imports and domestics. and both are respected on here. [honda-tech.com](http://honda-tech.com) is the site for all the info. ---
