    Is the DX Multi-Port Fuel Injected (MPFI)? If not you'll need to convert it to that as well.

    yeh, also you will need the mounts and axels, easier to get from hasport but is a lil pricey as stated above, plus yours is a SI so your wiring harness should be straight

    Also, the JDM B16a tranny has an electronic Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), the USDM CRX tranny has a cable VSS. You'll have to swap the VSS off your Si tranny to the JDM tranny so the speedo works and therefore Vtec works.
