I too would have stuck with the B. But since you are where you are, here is a little hint. Its alot easier to get a honda motor out the bottom than it is the top/front.

Not that I care one way or the other in this thread since it's not my car, I think the point some are making is he didn't swap for a turbo D, just for a D. He still has much to go with it.

Good luck with the CRX, hope to see it done.

i just wanna do a turbo d.thats what i want and all tat matters.and sorry for the miss info. i trade the b16 for a full d swap and turbo kit so i havent gotten that bad of a deal.all i need to buy for it to go is a fuel pump nd chip kit and get basemap and ill be good runin turbo d.i think it was a good deal.but to each is own.

I had a 89 crx si with a b16a with clutch. flywheel, cai and just a header no other exhaust and ran 14 flat so my friend you either drive like crap or your b was the dookie.

Either way have fun and build it but tradeing a b16 for a d16a6 was prolly the worst idea ever.
