Yeah, I just found your site. I got my CRX at the beginning of 2009. It had a d16y7 swap that wasn't quite running right. Needed new motor mounts and some other maintenance. I drove it for the summer while looking for a swap. Read up on swaps for this chassis and found that the B18 GSR is one of the tightest fits. But it is done often. So in August, I found one on craigslist. Not a bad price either. 80k miles on it. 5k since rebuild.

Modifications:
Thermal Research and Development full 2.5" stainless exhaust
B18C1 GS-R
R1 Racing header
Skunk2 stage 2 cams
Skunk2 composite fuel rail
310cc RC injectors
AEM adjustable cam gears
Blox Racing cam seal
high flow billet fuel filter
ported and polished head
ported and polished intake manifold
bored throttle body(paper thin)
XTD cluth and (12lb flywheel for better launch)
p28 ecu w/Hondata S200
Hasport Billet mounts
and the GS-R 5speed tranny

This engine supposedly has 188hp at the wheels. Little over 200 at the crank?
So, I'm just now starting on this swap. Rounding up parts. I got the Hasport mounts w/hydrolic tranny conversion, new shift likage, obd0-obd1 conversion pig tail, integra axles. I think I'm ready. Probly have to get some other stuff as I go. I'll have plenty of wiring to do as I go too. I'm doin a wire tuck too. I'm doin body work and painting the whole car at the same time. Engine compartment too.

The car has a Wings West body kit(workin on removing):PDT_brsh:
TenzoR 17" wheels 205 40 17
Tokico Illumina adjustable coil overs on all 4 corners

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions! I'll try to post some pics soon.
This is my first honda and my first engine swap. I've loved CRX's since I was in elementary school! Love em!

Power to the Rex's :thumbsup2:

Yeah, I just joined. So, gotta get some posts in to start a built thread. I'm actually just about done. I've started the engine. Still have some minor tweeks and tuning to do. Here are pics.

Tuck started...

I haven't finished the tuck yet. Making sure everything is working right first.

Mishimoto radiator...

That last pic is the most recent I've taken. I haven't taken any since I put the new fuel filter and lines on and started it.
I need to get some new ones taken.
