This is the engine for my 87 CRX Si. It's a D series hybrid built around an 87 Integra (D16A1) block, 89 Integra DOHC head, JDM ZC cams, etc.

Feedback/advice/insults are welcome.

I'm shooting to make 225 to 250 whp with this engine. I think that should be pretty doable. I did post the block with some help from Endyn. I know the engine can easily make the power. I'm more concerned about the strength of the diff.

I believe sonny used posting rods made of alumium, and torqued them into the sleeves only a few inch pounds. You can see the grey epoxy in the first pict where the posts are located. I don't have to remind Sonny to keep the updates coming. He never disappoints!

how much did everything cost you?

Sonny

Mama said it's not nice to ask.

Seriously, this engine has been a bargain all things considered.

The whole engine was 99 bucks at Pick N Pull and I can get them all day long. That's why I chose it. It bolts right into the 1st gen CRX and is a smog-legal swap in California.

Pistons were $540 from Endyn. I got the rods on a group buy for $275. Posting it cost me about $175. New ACL bearings were $100. Fully balanced bottom end was $140. Oil pump + water pump + timing belt + gaskets was like another $200. ARP studs were $100. There's about $250 in machine shop labor.

So, so far I have about $1750 in the engine including the cost of the engine.

For reference, just the motor mount kit and custom axles required to put a B series engine into this car would cost $1000.
