ya I can't wait to get it running, I ran into a big wiring mess with the obd1 conversion harness. it started breaking off at the pins so there is a mess of wires disconected. I just ordered a new jumper so hopefully it will be running in a week.

some more pics of the head im working on for my buddy. I can't wait to see how it does.

its great, I love it. seriously for the money nothing can touch it. it has a slight exhaust leak at the slip fit that Im going to fix. I welded a resonator to the end of it since Im not running exhaust and it made it much more livable. its amazing how loud cammed non vtec motors are lol. I just got it running a few days ago after a electrical nightmare and I have to say this b20 ***** all over the old ls. 3rd gear pulls harder then 2nd used to... no traction at all in first or second with azenis and a welded diff on a warm day here. as long as I don't have any problems come up Ill be taking the crx to the track this weekend with new slicks that will hopefully work this time.

Nice build man. Aside from gutting the car, and trimming the hood, what else did you do to get the car down to 1750lbs?

what didn't I do lol.
front and rear bumper supports
85 vw scirrico radiator (weighs like 1/3rd of the stock ef rad)
12lb battery
every little bracket that isn't needed
d series alt, like 1.5lbs less then b series
no carpet, door panels or any interior besides dash and center console
sawzalled the rear half above wheel wells.
I just lexaned the back hatch glass and Im going to do the rear quarter glass
ac delete

hoping to get the car down to 1700lbs soon. I also want to do a fuel cell in it but I doubt it will be worth the cost/ effort even though the factory tank is pretty damn heavy.

nice, my crx is gutted, door panels removed too, unfortunately my d series alt crapped out so im running my B series till i swap it. Ive looked into the Odyssey batteries and fuel cell for the future. Its still my daily for now, the biggest issue was getting an inspection sticker, one inspector thought I removed the rear seats and seat belts so he failed it.

lol. Im so glad we don't have that crap here in salem. pretty much as long as your car has good tags, insurance on it and you don't drive like a complete *** hole your all gravy. Im running a delka battery for a harley and its great unless the car sits for a month or so. it was only about $80 new too.

Ya, its a crap way for the state to make $, oh well. Also I removed rear wiper and motor, along with radio/ antenna and speakers. Then i realized i needed tunes, so I threw in an 1/2 din EQ to an amp that powers a pair of 6x9s in a box pull out on track days...all fed from my cell phone.

nice, ya my dx didn't come with a rear wiper, Im also running no cd player but I just love listening to my motor lol. also I have no front wipers or motor or linkage, rain-x gets the job done pretty well and I usually have another car to drive if the weather is really crappy or if the crx starts wearing on me.

What are you revving to and what are you tuning with?

I've got a few dynoed b20 tunes that may help out.

its only reving to 7k but I just found out I have a ls tranny from going to the track today. Im tuning it myself on s300 and I got it running pretty good

went to the track today with a best time of 12.96 @ 106 and a best mph of 107.71 it was also a fairly warm day for oregon too so im sure she'll hit that 108+mph mark. I had trouble getting my slicks to hook up for beans because they are for road racing but they still did ok. my best 60' was a 1.91 but I know this car will do a 1.7x fairly easy with some better tires.

first 12 sec pass

second 12 sec pass. I need to get my 60's down!!!

pretty nice times. Lower that to a 1.6/1.7 and you might have a mid 12 pass.
