j30a4 into crx....need some help.

[OneNonlyCRex]

Ok I may be picking up a j3024 engine complete with whole harness all the way to the ecu.....so my question is can I just use the whole harness underneath my crx dash and into the stock CL ecu and run the engine harness out to the motor??? I heard by taking the immobalizer or however you spell it, out of the ecu it will run fine.

yes you can. make sure you get the key with ignition and immob, preferred it to be a six speed. for me i used everything of from an 03 cl type-s. ran the wire to the lights and cut the the wires and solder to the civic light. switch everything from the key with the immob. with ecu all the sensors and fuses boxs. dude i everything that i wanted it to work it work flawlessly, no immob. no tack, no mph problems. it i wanted the acura gps to work i could have. i wanted you to succeed in the crx because my in an eg. keep in touch, no q is stupid until it been ask too many time with the same answer. used common senses and when in doublt ask first!

I'm doing a j swap into my Crx also. Not at this time but I'm in the process of hoarding all the parts necessary to do so. I don't need my car to be down for too long. I'm ordering a j32a2 off of hmotors online, and would it would be easier for me to find a cl-s in a junkyard and take all the harnesses and key ignition and everythin else? I'm not realy up to date with all the abbreviations that everyone uses. Is there anything else that would make this process easier? Like I said, I'm gettin the full swap, motor, 6spd hydrolic tranny, engine harness, ecu (what's a mcu?), axles, shifter box, linkage, Halfshaft..... And I think that's what comes with the swap. Don from rpm systems suggested a sir cluster because it isn't cable driven like my b swap. And I've heard eg hasport mounts will work except I'll have to relocate my brake lines. If I'm incorrect or if anyone has any suggestions. Please feel free to infor me. I'm only as knowlagable as the information given to me. Sorry if I hve thread jacked but I hope this will help the main poster of this thread aswell.
Thanks.

ok i see people what to do this swap in a crx / EF hatch. now this swap is not like a 92 and up honda/acura. things you will need to do this swap in a crx/EF that you will need extra.

*90-91 sir dash cluster - for the speedo is electronic vss in that compare to cable.

*clutch master cyclder - there's a trick to mount it in your crx/EF and make it Hydro.

*91-93 acura interga spindles - as you need B series bigger splines and brakes in the car or the axles wont work

you need to move the portioning value , is some cases, for the motor to fit. you still cut out the passenger side mount out of the car . change out the fuel pump in the rear. now i know that is sucks to do , so do it last you might get a way without changing it. you as need to install the acura interga spindles, if you don't you will not fit the j swap axle in the d hub, unless you have a SI . then it will work but still the brakes are too small.

wining , there is now easy way to make it plug and play. because there are thee place you need to hook to . drivers and passenger side plus passenger floor to the stock ecu plugs. i have done a harness twice for people. there is no way to make it fully plug and play without sending out the stock harness or doing it yourself. as far as the immobilizer goes if you look for it theirs a whole thread about "how to get rid of the immobilizer." you don't need the key and the IMOCD box for the ECU , unless you are whating extra protection which there a way to still use the key. you only need part of the wiring harness from the v6 car. just basically some of the plugs for the engine wiring harness and ecu.

now for the SIR cluster there is wiring on some site for the wining of the cluster into the crx/EF shells . if you cant find the wiring , i have them on file. so just PM me. it is not to bad to wire in the cluster . all the wires are there just move them to different places.

i write about how you do the cable to hydro trick tomorrow . it is late and this is just the first half of what you need.

clutch master cylinder there's a trick to mount it in your crx/EF and make it Hydro. you need a 92- 95 clutch master cylinder plus the little fluid tank. you need to remove the cable form the clutch pedal. now theres a pin hole in the pedal were the cable was. here is the tricky part you make a small "C" bracket to hold the master cylinder inside under the dash. i will post pic later for you get a better idea later. you connect the master cylinder plunger arm to the clutch pedal though the pinhole were the cable was. now you run two lines out . one brake line and second rubber line for the clutch fluid. you run both lines though the hole that was from the clutch cable . a company make a nice kit if you don't what to make it yourself. the name is "SONEM EF Bolt-In Hydraulic Clutch Conversion" http://www.suja1motoring.com.

Will the ek mastercylender fit my ef?

[LKSi]

Yeah it bolts to the pedals and an EK master cylinder is used. Check it out here. It mentions a little welding is needed.. that is already done on mine.

Can I use te eg axles from hasport for my ef? yes , as long as your car is a SI or you put the 90 - 93 intrega spindles on the EF. i go with the interga setup , just for the bigger brakes.

how much horsehpower can they handle? if car ride is setup right the axle will hold a little over 300 hp

Thanks don!!! I apprciate the info! Yeah I have a 90 SI, and I was plannin on doing the 91 teggy conversion, Ive had the arms and rotors and suspension for a min now and am bout to swap it all over this weekend. 300 hp sounds reasonable. I'm waiting to see if Brian is coming out with some axels since he's almost done with the Ef mounts. And again, thanks Don for providing usefull info!!
