Other Engine Parts for Honda CRX ED

Other Engine Parts gathers engine-bay parts that sit outside a single system, many made for engine swaps and detail upgrades. It includes sump baffles, throttle body adapters and insulating gaskets, fuel rails and a fuel pump kit, sensors and adapters, throttle cables, covers and small hardware.

Several of these parts deal with oil control and heat. Under hard cornering, braking and acceleration, oil in an open sump surges away from the pickup. Even a brief gulp of air drops pressure at the bearings, and a baffle keeps oil where the pickup can reach it. Insulating gaskets slow the flow of heat from the head into the manifold or throttle body, so the intake air picks up less of it.

On the fuel side, E85 needs noticeably more fuel volume than petrol for the same power. A conversion therefore usually needs a larger pump and injectors, and sometimes a higher-flow rail. The stretch gauge serves engine assembly: it shows how far a conrod bolt stretches as it is tightened, which tracks clamp load more closely than torque does.

The parts sort by job:

• Oil: sump baffles in aluminium or steel, a replacement dipstick and silicone oil cooler hoses.
• Air and throttle: throttle body adapters for fitting a different throttle body, insulating manifold and throttle body gaskets, long and short replacement throttle cables, and cruise control delete kits.
• Fuel: high-flow and swap fuel rails, a rail with fittings and a tucked fuel line kit that routes the lines out of sight. A 335 litre-per-hour pump with install kit is made for E85.
• Sensors and accessories: a coolant temperature sensor, a swap sensor adapter, an idler bracket and pulley kit, M8 × 1.25 accessory hardware, and spark plug and coil pack covers.
• Tools: a billet bolt stretch gauge.

Swap parts are listed for a particular engine and chassis, often with model years, so check all three in the title. Leak-test new fuel connections before the first start, and use hose rated for the fuel you run, E85 included. After fitting a throttle body adapter or a new cable, check that the pedal gives full throttle and the throttle returns cleanly to idle. Renew gaskets whenever a manifold or throttle body comes off.
