Well people I took the plunge and bought some parts for putting a B16A into my Sedan.. I've couple of things i'm going to do like a mini wire tuck, relocate the battery i'll use the CRX front hubs and calipers because these are bigger then the Si brakes, change the brake servo and master cylinder, new timing belt water pump and tensioner and i'll most likely get rid of the power steering and replace it with a manual rack.. The swap will be starting next Monday so i'll be sure to get plenty of pictures of it all happening!
First on the list is an EE8(EF8) CRX VT
Innovative EF B Series engine mounts
98 Spec JDM DC2 Integra Type R Throttle Body 67mm (STD is 62mm)
DC2 Integra Type R Airbox
And i've got my DC2 Integra Type R Mugen Twinloop to go on.. And I should have a set of cams aswell to go in!
Let me know what you all think,

Alot of nice parts to make some serious N/A power, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Nissan dont come close. This was the powerhouse till the K came out. _________________ 1988 VTEC AWD (in the build)

To be honest i was like that at the start and wanted to stick with the original engine just because its so rare.. But the more i thought about it i wanted to change it.. The gearbox was whining bad, the sump was wrung and was leaking and there was other bits about it annoying me so just said what the hell i'll go for it.
Plus the engine/car i got has full honda service history so i know the condition its in! _________________

Well just updating this..
Started work Monday morning and finished this evening.. So far the CRX is now stripped the engine is out has been fitted with cams, timing belt, tensioner and water pump all Original Honda parts.
As of tonight engine is out of the sedan and the wiring is nearly done! Should have got the B16 fitted tonight but we had to leave early.. And we should have been working on it tomorrow but I got called into work.. So thursay the sedan should be up and running a B16A
All the hard work is out of the way now and we can concentrate on fitting the engine and wiring right.. So far everything has went smooth aswell and we haven't had any major problems!
Anyway i'll update this again and get some pictures up asap!

Can't wait to get it up and running now Should have the engine in tomorrow and fingers crossed everything goes ok and it fires up first time..
Paul - Nope didn't need to use any of the loom off the CRX, just the PW0 ECU. I had to use the sedans ZC loom and connect it to the B16 then just run my wires for vtec and the second 02 sensor! _________________

First turn of the key it fired right up and idled nice aswell.. But won't really know how its doing untill I take it out for a drive! You don't know what loud is till you hear one of them running with no manifold
And exactly how you see it is how we left it.. It got too late to do any more.. I'd say there is about 2 days work in total left in it and then i can take her out for the maiden voyage! _________________

Just back from the garage tonight... Got the shift linkage all connected, exhaust fitted vacuum lines all sorted and finished the wiring.. And it now has no CEL so i'm happy
All thats left for saturday is fit the shafts, fill it up with coolant and ready for the road..
The whole wire tuck had to take a back seat as it an easier said then done kind of thing and if i had started into one i doubt i'd of had the car on the road at all this year and it could have caused me wiring probs especially while changing the engine..
Anyway i forgot to bring a camera once again so a crappy picture off my phone will have to do!

I had the best intentions to do a wire tuck. Then when you look at how much effort it will take i lost all motivation. _________________
