nc89crx

Hey all! I'm looking for advice on a build for an 89 CRX si. Basically this is my first build and I need help. I know a few things, but there is stuff I need help with. I'm hoping to build up enough to run high 12's. Pretty sure she comes with a B16A, but I'll double check on friday when I look at it. A guy I worked for owns it and has kept it in the garage every winter (upstate NY). What I need to know is the best low budget suspension system. And would it be easier/cheaper to do a boosted build or NA? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks for looking. pics to come soon

going to cost a fair amount more to run 12's n/a.

Thats aight. I don't mind dropin a turbo in. and I said high 12's cuz my friend had a talon that ran about 12.6 and it felt right, But i dont know much about turbos...at all

If you want 12's this is not going to be a low budget build at all.

My version of low budget is about $5000 in the engine. I really dont care how much I spend, I just want to do as much as I can as fast as I can because I've gotten screwed out of this for too long

D16SiHatch

well thats more than enough chedda to get you in the 12's lol

Lol, better find out some info before throwing all that money and having your engine explode on you.

$5000, doesn't seem low budget to me haha.

I would say $500 is more of a low budget build. I would love to see you do a high budget build -- what like $50K?

nc89crx

Thats why I posted this thread. Cuz I don't know what I need to know to build my engine up enough to hold whatever turbo is best.

nc89crx

plus $500 wouldnt even get me a decent coilover system

B18B1-Crx

shoot for the stars bro!

drop a LS in there. boost it with some slight internal work. then go vtec. gut your car. learn to drive said car success?

USNneverAGAIN07

yeah but 50 bucks more will get you some bad *** coil overs for cheap. Look up progress technology suspension. I like all motor cars myself. You can build a bad *** b20 vtec and run 11's with 5k

ninty7hatch

Well, I am no expert...but....

You could do 12's with $5000 or less invested if you went

H2B N/A with slicks
B16/B18/B20 Turbo
or d15/d16 turbo

Ok I just went and looked at it today. D16Z6. Aftermarket exhaust headers back. The entire body and interior are PRISTINE
