I'm helping my buddy swap an OBD2 LS swap into his OBD-0 CRX. I need a little help on how to wire the bitch up. It's been sitting for a year now, but we want to get it running here really soon.

Any constructive input will be greatly appreciated. Personally, I'm not sure why you'd want an LS swapped CRX, but again, this is his project, so I'm not going to bash him.

Thank you

 

LS or not, it's a chunk more power than the weak options that came in that car. An LS is still fun in a car that weighs so little. Plus they're super cheap and easy to find. Probably not my choice, but still a decent engine for that car.

 

yeah, got the block for about $200 complete with tranny out of a parts car from some retard that got t-boned running a red light. motor worked fine, now i just need to figure out how to rig this mofo up and get er back on the road.

....as cheaply as possible

 

any suggestions?

 

I'm not trying to blow you off, but there are literally thousands of writeups on how to do this swap and the parts required. It's exactly the same as any other OBD2 B-series swap into that car, but without the VTEC and knock sensor wiring. There is enough info floating around to keep you occupied with learning for days or weeks, depending on your attention span. You'll need swap mounts and some wiring changes, maybe an adapter harness or two depending on how you decide to go about things. There are misc other things too, but I'll leave that up to the swap writeups. I can't say anything here that hasn't been said many times with lots of descriptive text and tons of illustrative photos.

Try sites like this:

Also try sites that sell engine mounts for swaps; they sometimes have nice writeups also.

Good luck, and happy learning.
