well so far i have the stock engine on my 87 crx si, but i was wondering what options do i have for a swap, i know that you can swap a dohc d16 and any b-series, but are there any other option, and can someone tell me which one is the easiest and cheapest? thanks
all i want on my car is around 150-175 hp

 

so im guessing everyone here might be as clueless as i am...

 

no. we all are just sick and tired of answering the same questions.. how much money do you want to spend? easiest and cheapest is a D16a1 from an 86-87 integra. your goal of 150-175hp is about $4000 away unless you do a turbo D16a1.

 

well i look through the whole classic honda section, and i only saw a few post about random stuff nothing really helpful, so i decided to ask.
if i would of found an answer i would of never started a new thread.
and if you are tired already, then what are you still doing on honda-tech?

 

someone's got to answer. have you visited red pepper racing dot com yet? it's a very useful resource and would be able to answer a lot of the questions you have..

 

yeah i have i found some info on the d16a1 swap, pretty useful info
but im aiming for a semi built b20 vtec swap.
i was just wondering if a b swap would be that hard

 

you are lucky in the fact that your car is already fuel injected, so there are a lot less wires to do. honestly if i could go back i would probably just do a ZC swap.. there is so much stupid little stuff with the b series that it's a pain. but it's also not my only car and isn't the most important to work on. the track miata is because we actually race that.. the civic is just for fun. i'm sure if it were my primary transportation it wouldn't be that bad..

 

yeah i know, but the wiring wouldnt be much trouble to me
and when you say zc, you mean the d16a1 right?
i get all those engines confused,
those are easy to swap, or what the b20 that comes on the preludes?
are those as easy as the d16a1?

 

b20 is terrible in any car from those preludes. no one makes kits to bolt that motor into anything and most B series parts aren't interchangeable with that block..

and by ZC i mean ZC not a d16a1. i mean a brown top ZC. not a black top ZC, but a brown top from 85-87 ZC..

 

ohh alright yeah, well im thinking a brow top zc on nitrous
or just go b20 vtec all motor

im guessing the zc would be cheaper, huh?

 

Hi,

I have a set of Honda H center caps. They didn't fit my LS meshies and well the guy that sold it to me won't pick up his phone now. I'm asking 30 because thats how much i bought them for so I'm not making anything. Will post pics later if needed. 30 dollars or OBO

 

^ leave...

anyways, yes, ZC would be cheaper. by a lot.

 

yeah, ill just go for the zc swap, and smi build it so it can handle nitrous.
and call it a day
