Got the motor from Tennesse, I think East Side motors (not sure off the top of my head). $1350 w/ shipment. Fitment wasn't bad, basically the same as the Si, just had to use one of the CR-V mounts to make up for the height. Other than that, everything fit up. Si intake and exhaust manifold. Exhaust was a little tight, would hit the heat shield only after hard shifts. Started on a Friday night and finished Sunday afternoon. The car had 600 miles and the motor had 2000. After we finished, turned the car on, no codes, no problems. Waited to do any mods until after the first oil change (about 4000miles with 2.4 motor). No problems yet, had Honda do the oil change and change out a headlight. They didn't notice a thing. Looks like it was always there.
As far as performance, shortly after the swap (in stock form) we ran into a Si w/ intake and had no problem pulling from it. From there, the motor is taking to mods very favorably. It still has the smaller CR-V cams in it. We sent the Si's out to get reground for even more power (hopefully). Between the cams and the racing intake manifold, I hope to see some good numbers.
Suspension is our problem right now. It is our main focus next.
wow. This sounds good. So you just did the motor and not the tranny? The si tranny bolts right up to the CRV motor? Also are you using the stock si ecu? I think I would love to have this motor! :D You only paid 1350 for that motor!? awsome!
