how much power do you think a crx or civic hatch chassis could withstand? im thinking of doing an engine swap. it is a secret though. if you were to say pull more than 300hp then would the chassis twist and bow under acceleration?

A secret ? Um ok

It all depends, if you are gonna do rear wheel drive, I would say it depends on torque more then hp.

It pretty much can handle up to 400 to 700 hp I would say. But if you are making that much power in a crx or civic and you are running it at the strip, you're gonna need a roll cage anyways.

 

Ya, what he said.
