i've got a summer e36 coupe.. It is bloody quick pulls like a train..yada yada yada. My seasonal driver is my Crx 2seater(i do not like being a cab). Now, l hate the wanker in his mitsubuishi fto. He wants a race on the industrial estate. I am willing, my cars smaller and has a great chassis. His car has a 28bhp advantage over mine.. So i'm thinking of either chipping the ecu but l am also thinking of swapping the engine with a prelude vti 2.2i and also carrying out a remap.. 230bhp... ;) i will beat more or less anything with the car.. l know it is front wheel drive but i'm not looking for a drift! Will the prelude engine fit in my Crx. I am british not american.

yes the motor will fit but your not going to beat anything on the road like you said but you will beat his with out touching the ecu

It requires an aftermarket mount kit, some wiring, some minor cutting for the shifter cables & the mount kit, and either aftermarket axles or modified axles. There are plenty of writeups about the swap, since it is the same as the '92-'95 Civic swap. I'd recommend checking out http://honda-tech.com in their ''Hybrid'' section.
