Best engine swap for a daily driving CRX.
Okay here is the low down... here are my engine swap options:
-b18c 1996-2000 Type R
200Hp 134Trq 11.1 Compression(JDM)
195Hp 130Trq 10.6 Compression (USDM)
-b18b 1994-2001 LS
145Hp 127Trq 9.4 Compression (JDM)
142Hp 127Trq 9.2 Compression (USDM)
-b16b Ek Type R
185Hp 117 Trq 10.8 Compression(JDM)
-b16a 1992-1995 SiR-II
170Hp 113Trq 10.4 Compression (JDM)
160Hp 111Trq 10.2 Compression (USDM)
*Post which tranny also with your recommended engine please. Thanks*
Which one will be best turbo'd and used as a daily driver (except in the winter)? I have heard tons of opinions and I know there have been tons of these questions on the forums and I did the forum search for a little bit but no one asked my exact questions. I was thinking b18b LS because of the low compression but I am going to be changing a ton a stuff in the engine any way. And does anyone have an average swap cost for the engines above? I am new to Honda and I just wanted to hear the facts from the experts. Anyone have some setup list of their Frakenstein CRX's and what they do in the 1/4 or on the dyno? I basically want to show all these Honda bashing Ecotec Cavalier **** what a CRX can do and all the anti- foreign car people down here in hickville (they boo imports down here at the drag strips). I would like to spend somewhere like 15k (ya I got a raise at work, lol) on my CRX total, including the car all the work and parts. Also what size turbo should I get? Damn I have a ton of questions. Well I just give you guys time to digest these ones. And I'll need a good site for research. So I guess I should tackle the suspension and stuff first before I turbo it because I will need to control the power. Ah well just give me feedback.
My Goal- A 11 second daily drivng car in the 1/4 that looks like hell on the outside until I decide to get a bodykit, etc. Lol, I have too much time on my hands
