B20 in a CRX is going to be awesome. Hasport is definitely your friend. For the right $$$ they have everything available to make your swap happen.

It's also possible to build a frankenstein motor with the B20 bottom end and a B18C VTEC head....

Yup the Integra already had a B20B swap. I am just installing it in my CRX.

Does anyone know if I have to use the CRX transmission for the Integra transmission when doing the engine swap? I read somewhere that the B20 trans will not bolt up to the CRX. Do i have to use the CRX transmission?

I'm very sure a B-series engine will not bolt to a D-series transmission. But I could be wrong.

You have to get the right engine and trans mounts for the b20 into crx (hasport). D and b transmissions do not interchange. Just keep the b20 engine and trans bolted together (unless you want to upgrade clutch etc). Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure you need custom axles. Everything else should just bolt in with the proper mounts.

Pretty much this from my research, not having done this swap. Since he's going from a 5 speed 90-93 integra to an EF, it should all drop right in. I'd swap over the knuckles/brakes too since they're a nice upgrade(at the expense of a tiny bit more camber curve.)

That's something I deff am going to do. I heard of guys switching over to Integra front brakes because of the size difference. I would also swap the booster and master cylinder. It looks like I am going to have to use Integra transmission.

Everything should swap over if you use all this stuff from the integra.

Back in the day, I swapped a JDM D15B VTEC into a beater '94 Integra I had. Was pretty fun(revved great), got like 40mpg, and actually turned out to be faster than the B18B that was in it previously.
