...what other engines would fit in a CRX Si? Also up to what year honda JDM will fit in them?

I am a major newbie...so dummy it down please.

Thank you in advance.

 

you can put anything in anything else, really. all comes down to what you want to spend and how stupid you feel like being.

case(s) in point; i've seen a Lotus Seven with a 6.0 liter Jaguar V12, a CRX with a Chevy small-block, a Civic with a C27 (1st gen Legend), and a VW Super Beetle with a big block Chevy hanging out the back.

if you are a newbie and less wealthy than Croesus, stick with the simple stuff; ZC, B16, B18. otherwise, find a shop that is happy to take your money and go nuts.

as for years, people are putting brand new Honda motors in CRXs.

also ill tell u a secret. theres a button on top of this site called "search" it will actually look through all the posts for you and help you find answers to all your questions.

 

What year CRX do you have?

A Good article on engine swapping for 2nd generation:

That is what got me started..

 

jhota,

Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated. I would like to put the newest/fastest engine that would fit with minimal modes in a 91 CRX.

88DXCRX,

I am in the market for a 91 CRX Si. I have been trolling ebay looking for a decent deal on a well kept rex, but still haven't been successful. Theres a place on my side of town http://www.payntechnologies.com that supposedly does great work with cars like these.

I use to own a 84 DX about 10 years ago and I have always regret selling it. &lt;sniff&gt;

Thanks for any info anyone is willing to share.

 

what do you call "minimal mods"?

the car was designed to take a B-series; that's really simple, very new engines are available. heck, you can buy a brand-new crate motor if you want.

if you want the absolute newest, most power, yadda yadda yadda, wait for the HASport mount kit for the K-series to be available and put a K20 in it. it'll cost you out the *** for the motor, though. and it will definitely require more modification of the car than a B.

What I meant by minimal mod...is that I want my REX to look stock. I don't want anyone to know that there is something special under the hood.

How much are we talking about roughly for the k20?

 

YEAH THERE IS A FUNCTION CALLED SEARCH!.. BUT anyways WELCOME!
