i got a stock 1990 crx (i dunno wut model.. i 4got) but it's automatic... how do i make this car faster?

 

well for starters you need money. then you need a swap to manual and then you may possibly neeed the mpfi swap and then a turbo. or you could go to a b series swap. you need to tell us a little more on what you wanna do. will it be daily driven or a trailer queen? do you wanna go insane and build a 10 second honda or do you just want a mustang killer? lots to look at.

if you wanna stay auto then you can get a high stall coverter and do mpfi swap if needed and run a turbo. theres alot of swaps to look at also. b series/h series/ d series vtec/ k series (if youve got some money same for h series)/zc. lots of options for these cars.

 

in my opinion.you should start off with handling/suspension

 

well it's my daily commuter and the fact that i drive a crx lots of foo wit civics and integra's and even thoese muscle cars rev at me sometimes and i can't do shiet cuz i got no speed... puhahaha like i have a 1.5 L engine and everything else is all stock... that's all i know


that actually sounds good... staying auto.. it be like "you got an auto?" and then bam!!! "wow it's pretty fast..." <---- like that so i might look into that

 

either an hf or a dx.... slow and reaaaal slow

look into a b16 swap

 

get a converter and do a hmt kit on it. you love it. and keep your d15. you could do the turbo kit for around a grand and if you really want to get mor power you could go to a d16 and go forged internals and valve spring upgrade and run a sohc zc cam (little taller lift) and have a nice kinda cheap set up.

hmt kit $1000 (give or take)
torque conveter $300 or so
internals $800
d16 complete $200
valve springs $200
sohc zc cam $50 or exo speed cam $200

you do the math.

 

just buy a b16 and slap it on there, u'll love it...well, i love the b16 in the rex
