I was just wondering... am I the only unhappy person with my crx??? I love the car, but man its not a quick as I would like. It has the stock d15b2 engine... slow as dirt. What kind of engine should I look into swapping??? And where should I get it from? plz help me people

 

Welcome to the Honda world, where no matter what you do you will NEVER be the "first one" to do anything.

Go check out the Hybrid forum

You should fix that problem.
Then do some suspension and before you know it you'll be ordering I heart EF stickers and silly crap.

lol, that is very true....

 

Slap a ZC in there and you'll be happy again. A B series is a sweet thing for a CRX, and reads even better on the butt-dyno . I have less-than-stock D15B8 (see sig) so you should feel happy for yourself (but I have a ZC on its way to my work from hmotors, so I guess I'm happy).

JDM ZC: 130 HP, straight from the motherland.

Where I bought my engine from: http://www.hmotorsonline.com.

what I paid for engine, tranny, halfshaft, 2 axles: 800 + 174 shipping to work.

What my face will read when I take it out 2 weeks from now:

 

zc's , mini me's , b series all good choices depends on your budget good luck

 

dont feel bad i drove around with a HF motor for 2 yrs b4 i swapped a zc then that lasted three weeks , now b16, time and money

 

The swap you end up choosing will ultimately come down to how much $$$$ you have to drop on a swap. As others have stated, the zc is a low cost option which isn't a bad option at all. Both my rexes run zc's.

Once the current 91 project is complete I'll be looking at the b18 for the second rex because I want more. LOL Don't get me wrong though, the ZC is a great engine, but with the second rex I'm planning to build more of a drag setup. Not that the other engines aren't worthy, but the available parts and options open up more IMO.

But before anyone can really give you much in the way of specific info, you have to figure out what your budget is and what you want to do with the car.

 

just do a mpfi conversion and get a Si tranny with some bolt ons and you will be happy...

im very happy with my car and it is stock engine wise...

It’s all good with the original engine on streets but the only problem I had with my 89 HF was going up hill on 805 freeway near Mission Valley. I was pushing the gas all hard but only goes like 65 mph.

 

when i had an HF 0 i repeat 0 ticket, it got stolen and i got a si witha zc still 0 ticket and then i swapped a b20 vtec now i need a filer to hold my tickets and i blew it up hehe(2 years almost made it-daily driver)hmmm future b16 turbo

 

heh if people were happy with their cars, there'd be no mods, especially engine swaps
