This is my 88 hf:
shell-$600
sohc d15b (full swap)-$500
si trany fully built-$400
rywire conversion harnesses-$300
micellaneous-$400

Right now i have a white 88 crx hf that i picked up as a shell for $600 and was in almost perfect condition. It also came with kyb suspension and leather jdm seats so i got a pretty good deal. Then i bought a jdm d15b sohc vtec motor which is completely stock that i know of except for my headers and intake and a 91 si trany which has a stage 3 clutch masters clutch, fidanza lightweight flywheel, lsd installed, short shifter, and uses ls or gsr axles. It was said to be able to hold 400 whp. I picked them both up at R&T Autoworks in Aberdeen NC for about $900 I got all my conversion harnesses from Rywire.com. I am now working on swaping out the dash harness bc the guy who had the car before me hacked the other one up so im having some issues with that. I will try to upload some more pics and keep you updated on my progress.

jdm sohc d15b
91 si trany
fidanza lighweight flywheel
lsd
short shifter
stage 3 clutch masters clutch
4-2-1 headers

Nice, what are your plans for it???

 

thanks, well ive kinda got all my money tied up in it rite now but my plans are to build the top and bottom end and go with either a turbo setup or jackson racing supercharger. i have a while to decide tho. but before i do performance i think im gonna work on the looks first with some red drag wheels, carbon fiber hood, side markers, and corner lights. just straight jdm.

 

k20

 

i wish i had the money for a k20, thats the baddest swap

 

Some pics from last winter when we dropped in the motor and trany

 

Here are a couple rear pics, the body is very clean as you can see.

These are my 4-2-1 ebay headers along with my ebay intake.

 

I took these pics before i cleaned the interior. Notice the leather jdm seats.

 

Wish i had the jdm tail lights.

 

wtf i need me an ef shell. im totally jealous dude

 

I was lucky to come across this one, they are so hard to find in that good of condition for that price i couldnt pass it up.

 

im have a hard time findin one right now. all i need is a shell to complete my b16 swap

 

good luck man, i picked this one up cheap, maybe you will find a good deal. i wanted to do a b16 swap but didnt have the money so i went the cheaper route but im still happy with it.

 

I'd put in a D15Z1 -VX motor, keep the HF tranny. Strip the HF down a little and put VX wheels on it, you'll have a 60 MPG car that's still faster than a stock HF.

Why spend a fortune to make a Honda as fast as a stock V8 muscle car when, for very little money, you can make your car do something that no muscle car can ever do?

Fuel efficiency is the next big thing in Honda world. K20 swaps are passe', everyone has one.

yeah everyone but me lol i went with the sohc jdmd15b just bc its a stronger motor than the d16 and i was getting a good deal. the pull really hard. you would be suprised. my trany is what has the most money in it. and im wanting to run the red 15 in drag wheels.

 

Shell looks like it's in good shape, Love the seats, and it'll look Badass with the red wheels. :thumbsup:

 

do it just straight JDM huh? LOL

 

thanks bro i cant wait till it all comes together. im thinkin an oem carbon fiber hood would looki nice with the red wheels to.

 

well yeah im sure as hell not no ricer lol i just like a clean stock look but i also like the way a carbon fiber hood looks on a white car.

 

These are the wheels im planning on putting on it when i get the money.

 

My car doesnt sit as low as i would like on the kyb's so i was gonna get these Ksport lowering springs but i havent had much feed back on them.

 

This winter id like to get inside the motor and build it for boost and ive heard good things about vitara pistons and eagle rods so this is prolly what ima go with. Still havent found a cam i want.

 

Sorry tried to make the pic smaller but couldnt.

 

Sounds like you have it all planned out. Keep us updated.
