i have a complete cx longblock and was curious if its worth building up for boost since its free or should i boost a 99 dx (not free 400 for the swap)? TIA

 

Get atleast a vtec 1.6L motor. d16z6 or d16y8.

You will be alot happier

 

what year cx? Because the 92-95 cx was a 1.5l 70 hp motor. The newer (96+_) cx's were the same as the dx motor. Either way, however, I would get the ex at least, like ghetto said

 

well how much do you want to boost?? what are your goals??

if i were you id keep the CX motor and use the $400 to make a custom turbo kit. just get a custom manifold from Tinker219...i think you could use the stock manifold if you have it still just got to make adaptor plate for the turbo to bolt on. then when you have all that...boost around 6-8psi and you should be happy

 

mini-me turbo

 

CX....but toss the engine and tranny (you'll only get like 120whp MAX from this setup)

DX is too heavy

CX with b18c and ITR tranny!!

oh...then ditch the CX...like I said, you'll make 120whp max...not worth the money you'll be spending

If I were you, adn I were spending potentially $3k on a turbo, I'd ditch both engines and consider a B series

 

thanks guys for the input. i guess im gonna look for a d16 y8/z6. i mean i have a b16a adn also a fully built 2.0 poormans itr but i just wanna boost so thats why im getting rif of both bseries motors. thanks! anyone got a d16z6/y8 they letting go? let me know.

 

so y get rid of those, theyre way way better than dseries..
