no longer doing the crx or hatch build... decided to keep the prelude.

Thanks everyone for your input.

LS TURBO IS DEFF A FREAT COMBO N DEFF GOOD ON THE PRICE RANGE YOULL BE ABLE TO PUSH THE NUMBERS U WANT OUT OF IT WIT JUS A FEW SIMPLE BOLT ON N SUM HEAD WORK , if yourlookin for sum vtec power as well a b16 will do jus fine n as well is good for the buck u spend anything more is gonna be more in the spending money range , MY OPIOIN WOUKD BE EITHER AN LS TURBO OR B16 turbo you'll deff be able to push out sum decent numbers wit the both set ups n like I said there both resonable prices you can find a complete long block from any where from $600 2 $800 n then decied on the TURBO YOU WOULD BE INSTALLIN !! GOOD LUCK

sr20 det you can never go wrong. OP please do some research to find out what motor best suet's you.

D16SiHatch

many motor combo's will yield you a fun fast car. price ranges will vary depending on the deals you find and how much of the work you can do yourself. i've decided a vitara d16 makes most sense for what i'm trying to accomplish, so that's what i'm going to do. no one setup is the best for everyone.

If I had to do it all over all again, F22A6 w/boost. A bit of work to get it into this particular frame, but not done very often and every build I have seen has made good trq. numbers. This is coming from somebody who ran 12s in a CRX with a stock B20 turbo motor.

go with a gsr or lsvtec. leaning more to the gsr due to hood clearances with the lsvtec.

Huh? Deck height on a LSV vs a GSR are the same. B16's are shorter and easier to fit in a CRX.

As for the OP, I don't believe you are actually going to buy/build anything, so I'm not going to bother answering. I will say your friend is stuck in 1997 with his opinions though.

j series turbo... torque

dd your hatch, fix the issues with your $10,000 prelude and boost that how bout. if you have problems with h23s, throw in an h22 or an f.

Ok so i have done alot of turbo builds with stock motors and try to get the more bang for your buck kinda thing and i have found that any motor you get for your car is going to be fine with one crucial thing.

if you find a good tuner and knows about the motor you will be useing witch ever you decide to use you wont have problems the thing i always loved is there is always more rook to grow with a turbo car. well this is just my info from my experince.

if you dont agree i would like to hear your reason why and what not

iamthefollower

I'd choose the LS/Vtec build.. they are nice.

dantamparacer

Depends on your budget. I have seen ls-vtec's run good but a GSR comes with oil squirters and a crank girdle

azandford

why would people slap on a vtec head an turbo it if that were true? I'd say whatevr your friend blew out his *** = FTL!

ShanghaiOC

If you want reliable power, go with the b16 or the f20b. R/S ratio factors in a lot (1.74 b16, 1.69 f20b). If you like the LS/VTEC idea, slap the h22a head you have on the f20b block. With very little mods & a GOOD tuner, you'll get 400hp no problem.
