go with an obd1 gsr, 94-95, if you havent already wired it, you need to wire for vtec and for the 4 wire o2 sensor...it would be the simplest thing to do..use an obd1 swap... thatll run you about $1500-$2200...alot of money..

Where are you finding OBD I swaps for 1500? Id have to buy that right now if thats true that is a smoking deal.


I also agree with the 94-95 B18C1. It came out of a 1994 or a 1995 Acura INtegra GSR. It is a DOHC VTEC engine, it has a main girdle and oil squirters which is why I think it shines above the rest of the DOHC VTEC motors.

dude you would need to replace your mounts. engine, tranny, shift linkage, get an auto to manual conversion(buy the pedals to add your clutch), and like i said earlier, if its a cx, youd need to wire for the 4 wire 02 sensor and wire for vtec....if you can afford the downtime of the car, you can do all this yourself..the wiring is fairly simple, theres a few "how to's" on this... i found an awesome one..ill post the link next time...but yea, id say its alot of work, going from auto to manual...

dude, people post swaps on there all the time...youll find something by checking everyday...sometimes people are crunched for money because of outstanding tickets or other projects...so theyll post up whole swaps relatively cheap...and alot of time itll read $2500, and if you continue reading on down as the days go by, there are usually price drops...
