I have a built d16a6 block I'm trying to sell.
board over .30
blocked notch
crank polished and balanced to 10,000rpm
golden eagle block guard
Eagle Rods
Low compression pistons
no need for this thing anymore!

Re: 91 crx si D16A6 build advice
thats the best body kit that they make for the crx
they look sick with them on
even more when you mold the peaces together so they dont look like they even come off
this is a very old picture
of A crx back in 2006 that i really liked with a mugen kit

Re: 91 crx si D16A6 build advice
[QUOTE=90ef9si;51191125]honestly I don't even know what it would go for anymore.
i know I spent a pretty penny on building it but I just to get it out of my house.
shoot me a realistic offer
I really don't know id want it as cheap as possible like 200 bucks but that's what i would love to pay for it lol realistically speaking $500? Let me know what you want for it

Would need to see up closer, but that looks like a Wings West kit which was modeled closely after the Mugen kit.

Re: 91 crx si D16A6 build advice
I think you need to make a choice early, and not waste any money on trying to build the D16A6 to be "fast" N/A if you really think you'll go boosted eventually.
Example?
You mentioned "P29" pistons in a post as part of a question. I owned a D16A6 that I personally built with P29 pistons, 96 EX metal head gasket, and it was a lofty 11:1CR - NOT something you want to boost on with stocked cast pistons. I'd drive it stock until you can afford to freshen up a spare D16A6 block, and boost it. You will never see streetable, "affordable" 220whp on a D16A6 without boost. I'm not the turbo expert, but if you took a D16A6 and rebuilt it to stock spec (new rings, hone, bearings, valve stem seals) you could hit 220whp on a mild boost set-up using a basic turbo kit/set-up if it's TUNED properly. You could go forged pistons for added security, but it's not an absolute if you have good tuning/management.
