Default 92 vx motor in a CRX?????

would this be an easy swap or would it be hard to do because of the vtec-e? and also i dont have the vx harness so would any d series harness work in the rex?

pretty much any d series harness would work, obd-1 wise, but youd need to add wires to run vtec... but yea, why would you want to perform this swap?

Again, Why? Pull a motor to stuff in a gas saving, gutless, torqueless wannbe vtec? seems like a counterproductive task.

well, he's going to have to COMPLETELY rewire his car

the VX is a lean burn vtec-e piecae of **** that all it's worth lies in the o2 sensor.

it's not worth it for the gains. Just get a dual point setup and use about the same amount of gas and be just as fast.

Fast??? There can be no misinterpretation here. you absolutely cannot confuse a vx motor with, or even compare it to, anything even remotely fast. vx sucks. get a god damn B series, dammit.

WARNING! the vx might produce too much power to the wheels in the rex, so i advise you to be careful and wear your seatbelt at all times due to obsessive power gains

It irks me that when people come across a motor for cheap or free, they want to jam it into the first victim they see. To each his own, I guess. I feel bad for that crx knowing that some of his fellow crx brothers are pulling down 9 & 10 second timeslips, and he is stuck with a vx powerplant. poor crx.........
