I have 1k$ 2 spend on my crx si. What should I start off with. I'm sorta new at the honda thing, but I have swapped a couple motors in them.

 

b16a if u can get some parts cheap/free. and dont forget that u can sell the old motor to get most of the money back.

stock 100% complete d16a6 motor, tranny and ecu u can prolly get 500-700 depending on the conditon.

so let's say u sell it for $500, that means u'll have $1500 to spend so then u get mounts for $400, a stock b16a for $600, ls tranny for $300, pwo ecu for $200. ecu plugs in cuz it's non-obd, but has the right program for b16. run a few wires for vtec. get some minor things to fit, but noting hard prolly, it depends on your perticular car. and there u go, high to mid 14s.

and u prolly know some people or can find some good deals online on some used parts. so it'll be cheaper.

 

ok, well thats not all entirely accurate. first of all u'd be VERY hard pressed to dump a 13 y/o sohc for that much. second, why are u suggesting an ls tranny? and third, a stock b16 setup in a crx si will run a high 14 at best. if you need a good price on a b16, try nippon-motors.com, or hondamotorsonline.com for a complete setup for 1250.

 

i was just giving a general idea of how much it might cost. sorry if it was off. btw, im pretty sure u can sell the whole motor+tranny+ecu for at least $500.

 

D16a6 go for more like 200-300

 

Hey, if that's what you sell 'em for, I'll send you four of them and pay you commision! I can't give the damn things away, I just like to keep 'em around for spare sensors.

 

yeah I would not recommend getting a ls tranny also you will be very dissapointed when the guy with the same engine is beating you.

 

LS tranny is the worst one. i would only get it if u were really pressed for cash. i dunno what i was talking about before. dont listen to me im a so caught up in my LS/VTEC building for an EG that i forgot that ED9 has cable tranny..

 

if i was you and only had a grand i would buy a z6 and spent the rest on performance bolt-ons, you'll be surprised on how quick you can actually make a z6
