    Default Poor Man's OBD

    Well I was thinking if I have a B18C1 block and mate it with a first gen B16A head, will it be OBD0?

    Best bet with 89 crx is to convert to obd1.

    on the egine side get everything obd0 for the car. then a jumper harness and a chipped/socketed p28

    the obd is a combo of the engine electrical components and ecu.

    dizzy, harness, alt, injectors, ecu, crank postion sensor (obd2 or the trick). there are a few other odds and ends but for the most part those are your main pieces.

    gsr tranny will not work in your crx unless u get a hydro to cable conversion kit. like this
    http://hasport.com/shop/product_info...roducts_id=179. if not u will have to get a cable tranny.
