No harder than installing a B16, same concept

ive gotta ls/vtec in my crx, just make sure you got the right engine mount on the drivers side, and if you got a 4 into 1 header its gonna hit the cross member, if youre gonna buy the hasport stuff, make sure you get the shift linkages too from them. i raised the compression by putting in b16 pistons, which made more power. the thing is a 13 second car.

cant i use the ls shift linkage

bubbajim

i dont think so, i can tell ya that i tried the del sol dohc shift linkages, and they were way too short!, its just that the crx and the ls are built differently, and that the whole tranny and engine setups are different, meaning the engine bay is sized differently. make sure and call or email hasport, dude ive raced mustang cobras, the new ones that got 300 hp , on the highway it was neck and neck from 120km/hr to 200km/hr. youll surprise a **** load of people.

what are your mods bubbajim? we talkin high, low or mid 13's?

bubbajim

ive had the ls/vtec in my del sol and i was runnin low 14's, since ive put it in my rex, ive been running it with my zdyne, 4 into 1 headers, compression around 12:1, type r cams, type r intake manifold, spoon throttle body, and 440cc injectors. ive dynoed just under 190 at the wheels, and in a crx that weighs 2100 pounds, the fukin thing flies, ive never run it at the drag strip since ive only had it in there for 2 months, but ive blown away everything, but im gonna rebuild the block to withstand more hp cuz i want it back in the del sol, and sellin the crx before the summer. to answer your question, im guessing high 13's, maybe low 13's if i ran slicks.
