I am getting my hands on an 87 CRX si, for 300 dollars! I was wondering what would be my best option, in this situation? I was thinking sine i have a sohc d16, out of my 89 si CRX, i could turbo it and swap it into the 87. Is this possible? Or should i get a b20, non-vtec motor? which was my second thing i was thinking about? Or third should i get a dohc ZC and turbo it?

Please tell me what you think. and what you have seen done.

And, i dont care about power steering, or a/c.

Also, what will i need in these swaps.?

 

up!

 

searched, but no cigar! if someone can direct me to a link or just post a how too or any info, please do so

 

A 86-87 integra motor would be the easiest to swap in, everything else you will need custom mounts,axles,wiring all that *****. If you got the money go for a b series motor, hasport makes motor mounts for a b series into an first gen crx. Try searching first gen crx or something like that, the info is out there.

 

i am a previous owner of a 87 crx u are going to elimanate the entire wiring har ness and modify the mounts that would be the easiest and cheapest good luck

cool, thanks

 

if you didn't read about it, the 86-87 integra motor is dohc, t25 or any small type turbo would be good to start out with. Not sure about the turbo manifold itself though.

 

thanks, anything else you guys can think of? is the 86 integra motor a zc?

 

you could call it the american ZC but it is totally different from jdm dohc/zc, it has around 115hp(around there), it is kinda like dropping a jdm ZC into a 88-91 civic/crx in that it is mostly plug and play, but you should only use the 86-87 integra motor as the 88-89 motor uses a different type of speed sensor(not sure on the type of sensor but it would be easier to use the 86-87 motor).

thanks for all the input guys. if theres any more info, please feel free to let me know.

 

its not the speed sensor that makes it hard. 86-87 motors are vacum advance and 88-89 are electronic

 

yes, thats it, 420 da man
