crx hf engine swap
Hey everyone,
I'm new on honda engines and I'm looking to do an engine swap on my recently aquired crx hf. I'm questioning wether to put in the b16 or b18 engine. This car is going to be used mostly on the track, but I would like it to be drivable enough to take out around the town on weekends. I'm looking to push 225-250hp with 8-10 psi on the street and 12-14 psi on the track. Will the b16 get me there with internal modifications? I've been told this engine has an easier install. Or am I going to be better off with the more powerful, but slightly heavier b18? Thanks for any help!

if you plan on boosting, then go with the ls engine (b18a or b18b) its cheaper and easier since it doesn't have vtec.

Re: crx hf engine swap (ernestnarrator)
I'm in the same boat here. I've got a b18a and tranny from a 90 Integ in my garage and need some pointers on how to best get it into either of my rexes (89 hf or 90 dx). Is it easier to put into the dx?

you cant use hf hubs if your doing b series swap , so i recommended switching the control arms along hubs from the hf to the dx so that this problem would be solved. Sorry if i didnt make it clear.
