i'm not a noob but i'm not a lifer either.i wanted to know what motors exacaly fit in a 91 crx.i have a shell i just got a for real cheap and i want to start a big project but i need to know the ropes about this damn crx.all my friend have sick *** cars and now i want to get in the running so i need info on this ****.my best friend has a s2000 and we talk all the time about what i wanna do.i seen a s2000 motor in a crx before but ain't sure what year it was.....anyway i heard before that you can put a s2000 motor in but you will need a bunch of **** to make it a front wheel drive s2000...i heard that you can use a rsx tranny but i not 100% so if any 1 want to post about do so.........another thing is what is the best motor for the crx cause i want to be turbo if i don't have the s2000 motor

 

well, no one has ever done it before, atleast to my knowledge... which means it can be done if you have deep pockets. and then there is also the difficulty of finding an s2000 engine somewhere.. cause the engine alone is gonna cost a pretty penny.. as for engines that fit in a crx, any d series engine, any b series engine, the h22 and the k20 all "fit" but.. fitting with a cutting torch and welder is different from stock fit.

 

It would be much easier to fab the CRX shell onto an S2k Chassis and call it a day. The benefits would not outweight the pricetag to complete the .. sentimentality? .. of the swap.

 

well i have seen it before and i know it could be done....i have the money and i want it but i don't know if in the end will their be a better engine that should have gone in there.....hit back

 

i found a s2000 motor alone for 4000 and i don't know the rest of the cost....me and my step dad will put in in thou...but i don't know how much a s2000 chas. will be either and it will ruin the whole concept of a s2000 swaped crx anyway and that's what needs to be done so it is still a crx and not a s2000

 

for 4000 you could have a b18b with a turbo and be faster than the s2000 motor . just giving you another option . or the b16 built . plus it would be alot easier and cheaper install . if your set on the s2000 though hmotorsonline.com has them check out there prices

 

yeah thanks bro for that site but they don't have the 01 s2000 motor a want that cause it revs. out at 9000 rpms and i found a 01 for 3800 with everything ship included so yeah that;s the deal and if a b16 with a turbo is faster i will supercharge it so thanks for all the advice guys fell free to keep giving it i'll keep reading it

 

Correction b18....lol i'm a dummy

 

why dont you get a b18c5 then if you want high revs.. and have the money. much less drama than trying to get a s2000 engine in your car. with the b18c5 there are already mount kits that bolt right in for your car, and people who can set you up with a wiring harness so it is more or less plug and play. and close to the same hp and rpm level.

 

my 90 hf with the b16a stock beats a a stock s2k.....a b18c5 will whoop off on an any f series s2k

 

The whole point of me posting was to mostly find out about the s2000 swap...i think i can do it witht alot of time and alot of loans i don't think i want some thing that some guy is gonna have a week later and around where i am it's likey.... so i want to be original and go with the s2000 motor and see what happens worse case..i **** up and have to sell the motor and that's not hard on the s2ki forums...lol so i'll try it and see what happens

 

Congrats burly you beat a stock s2k...whowwwwwwwwwww..here that ain't a accomplishment...and like i said before if anything/aka.hondas beats me i'll just take it to the next level....so whatever

 

wow douche. I was just saying you're the one who wants to dump all the moeny into putting an s2k motor in an ef, lame. You seemed to be the typical troglodytic racer who thought, "Gee how can i be completly different from everyone else? I know i'll ask a stupid question." Point is you asked a question that seemed to be related to speed. So i replied with, you don't need to make a weird hybrid motor chasis combo to be quick or get noticed. And by everyone's simliar reply of, "why?" we've answered your question. So go home, come back when you have a real question. I've already wasted too much of my time on you. That'll be 54.75$ pull up the window.

 

run and s2k motor with a fwd f22 tranny out of an accord. i kno the s2k motor is f22b and the accord motor is f22a. its possible. ive seen a civic with a RB24DETT motor in it with awd.

i got a buddy with a b16a2 crx intake exhuast and chiped and he gets best by my friend with an s2k with an intake thats it. there no way u could beat one unless he dont kno how to drive or it was auto.

 

s2000 doesnt come in auto
at least i dont think they do

 

Honestly, If you gotta ask if it can be done, you wont do it. Simple as that.

I dont think that trans will bolt up to it. Will it?

 

Yes it has been done before and it was RWD but the one I saw was a drag car. I thought maybe the it was possible to add the F20b tranny to the F20c engine but that was shot down by the fact the F20c rotates opposite of the F20b. I figure maybe with the help of a K series tranny adapter of some sort you could possibly make a FWD F20c CRX, but why not save yourself some money and go K series, HASport makes an EF kit now.

 

yeah you's guy's are right it is a pain in the *** to do this....and it will be easier to go with a motor aka b series that won't give me problems....and yeah i love the rsx motor....personaly that's 1 of my fav. cars out now...but i see it diffrently then all you's guys..i like the advice...but i love the s2000 more...i know what they can do...i like to go fast but i also like to go fast around turns so atfer i redo the whole suspen.i can and i will basicly have a s2000 but really a crx cause my friend aready has 1 and i don't want a s2000

 

i don't think you are going to have enough space to put the s2000 engine sideways to be fwd like you are wanting to do, so you would have to extend the frame and body both in width, that's if you are planning on fwd, but, i doubt that you and your stepdad have the time or the money to tackle such a task, but hey if you do, give it a shot

 

I say go for it!! I was thinking of this very swap after seeing "Roaring VTEC, the Battles at 10,000 RPM." There was a AE86(I think carolla?) w/ s2k conversion that was an absolute beast. If you convert the crx to rear wheel drive and completely modify and go custom on the suspension, this would be SICK!!! Just redo the fire wall for more clearance, fab up a driveline tunnel, and maybe shorten the drive shaft. You guys can weld right?

 

drop an h22a in a honda hybrid that would be original and surprise everyone around when it pulled up to the line

 

yeah he can weld i'll just sit back a learn how to.this is a car i will learn mostly everything on so him and a few other people will be fabing it up....but if i don't end up doin a s2000 motor i was checking in on the rsx-r motor kind of the same thing but the rsx will give me less prob.with in a few weeks i'll know what i'm going do... and it will be done i was looking in to it and i found that by the end of the swap i would have spent like $20000 for the s2k motor...but then i seen the whole k20a-r with everything i need for $6000 so then if i want i'll have some spare money for a turbo but i still wanna check more out and get more info...thanks guys....keep on posting

You sound 16-17. Step daddy and all. I'll bet money you'll never do it. And if you do, it wont be you doing the work, probally your step daddy. And you like to go fast around turns and you say you will with the s2000 motor. Yea but not that fast. The motor will make the front of the car way to much, along with all the other mods needed. Thats just the bottom line. If you want to fly around turns buy a BMW. If you want to be special and put it in your rex cause your friend already has an s2000 then do it but send it out to king motor sports and buy there spoon s2000 motor. revs to 16000
