Default IS IT POSSIBLE: b17a in a crx!?.....

How hard (if even possible) would it be to swap a B17A engine into a crx (would it have to be a crx SI or that doesen't matter?) and what kind of quarter mile times can i expect if the motor is mainly stock?! THANX

But yes its possible. Just the same as all the other B-Series swaps

Youll probably need some different mounts. Try place racing.

So would i have to get a wiring harness and motor mounts (or will it fit without different mounts?) Also what are some quarter mile times with this setup?

yes you will need mounts and the such. It is going to be the same as if you where swaping a b16 into a crx

Quarter miles times depend on driver. but i guess expect MAYBE high 13's to 14's

I dropped a stock B16A from an Jspec XSI into my friends 88 CRX... It took the HaSport kit to do it but it looks hella clean. His best with only intake, 2.5" exhaust, and slicks was 13.5@101.. That motors thrust washer poped out the other day so now we get to see what the B18C in it will do... I'm building it right now and it should be in by the end of the week.. I would expect the B17 to be a lil stronger than his car espessially if it still has the YS1 on it. We want that tranny for his car too but for now the Y1 will work.
