i was wondering what motor yall think i should do.i dont got money to do a hydro conversion . so what do yall think ?

 

1st gen B16, its easy, an cost effective and is considerably faster than the stock SOHC motor and the ZC motor, tons of potential

 

the biggest your pockets can provide. duh. I have a stock ls in a light crx and it's real fun to drive. I would say a b20 non-vtec with y1 tranny would be perfect for city driving. lots of low-end with the longest gears of any cable b16 tranny and if your lucky LSD.

 

i was looking for something that will be able to run 13s with mods but would be ok for driveing on the street still.

 

if thats the cas then get a GSR block with a B16 head, run a YS1 92-93 GSR tranny an throw a nice header and some camshafts an you can hit HIGH 13s maybe. Definetly on slicks

 

b17 or 18? block?

Why does everybody say this. Unless you swap the pistons putting a b16 head on a gsr block will lower compression and lower the power potential.

My .02 go with a B16 if you are short on cash and a B18C if you are not.

 

If you want 13's go with a GSR, but if you are on the broke side, get a B20 and a B16 tranny!

 

b20vtec with a b16 tranny i/h/e/cams. It will rip

 

isnt the b18c hydro tranny ?

Yes the B18C1 has a hydro tranny b/c the 92-93 GSR's where B17A's that had the same tranny as a B16!

 

so witch gsr are you saying i should get then b17 or 18

 

well do you need a cable or a hydro tranny? In your case most likely cable for a CRX.

The B17 uses a cable tranny and the B18C uses a hydro tranny.

 

witch would i be better of with a b16 b17 or ls ?if i got a ls i would end up doing ls vtec

 

and would i wanna do a b16 head on the b17?

No the the B16 and B17 are basically the same thing!

That depends on you! Everyone is going to have a different opinion.

 

why does everyone say that? easy, because their is NO ECU to use in an OBD0 car for the GSR manifolds butterflies, plus i dont like not being able to buy a AEBS manifold. Running a GSR motor CORRECTLY requires an OBD1 conversion IMO in an EF.

Wheher a GSR uses a hydro tranny or not is irrelevant. U can run a cable trans on an B series block

 

so i could run a b16 cable tranny on a a newer gsr and it would work ? or what else would have to be done ?

 

and what is a good compression to run on a daily street driven car?

 

Get a 1st gen b16, plenty of fun, fast enough, no obd conversion needed, this setup is tried and true. It will definitely be best for someone who might not know much yet about engine internals becuase you won't need to mess with it. And eventually when you begin to mod it decently it will definitely be capable of 13's.

 

If you want to go with budget I would get a b18A1 from a 90 91 92 integra my friend has a gutted hf and it flys. Has a lot of torque. That will give you more money for upgrades. Fuel system ignition system and bolt ons, you will be happy and won't break your bannk

GET A B16 MOTOR THEN GO TURBO
