I'm going to swapping a new motor into my '88 rex, but I would like to keep the engine weights as close as possible to the factory specs as possible because I am going to turbo it.
I would really like to go with a B20 from a CRV and THEN hang a hairdrier from it, but I'm unsure of the ACTUAL engine weight differences not speculated ones. I have tried "Googleing" for info have been unsuccessful. Thanks

 

What does this have to do with the price of tea in china?

 

wow...just....wow
Anyone else feel as though there should be an IQ test that determines eligibility for a H-T membership?

 

I guess that you two Einstiens don't factor in changes in drivability when swapping in a motor that weighs more than what the car came equipped with. Adding a turbo with all the associated hardware and plumbing will add weight as will (possibly, that's why I asked) a swap to a larger motor.
You're the one wondering about I.Q. and membership eligibility?

you've been here for 5 days, you have zero room to talk. the only thing worse than a noob, is a noob who thinks he's OG

 

Go with a b series motor.

weight the b series, and weight the d series.

find out the difference. (using subaatrrracction)

Then cut a piece of metal equal in weight to the difference between the two and install said block of metal in the rear of your crx.

Then install harder springs.

Problem solved.

If you install a turbo weigh the parts first and add to your metal chunk install.

agreed!

 

Ok, to actually answer the ******* question... You won't notice a difference in the handling of the car. I have a B18 in my CRX, and it handles terrifically well. And anyone putting more weight in the rear needs to be taken out back and paddled.

wow......everybody stfu. To the poster....you aren't searching hard enough, it's fairly easy to find all the weights and stuff, you just gotta look.

To everyone that took the time to post something retarded, with the exception of the dude who posted the guy in a la-z-boy and anyone from H-T 04' and lower, shutup.

Good luck with your search bro...and don't let people **** up your questions...

 

**** the weight, your gonna put it in there anyway.

 

imo. you should be worried what YOU weigh.

thats where some racers could afford to loose pounds.

Hehe, true.

 

Thanks bro, appreciate the ACTUAL help. As to the other asshats who have nothing more than bullshit, smartass comments. Have a piping hot cup of S_T_F_U!!!!!
I am new to the HONDA scene not the turbo and or racing scene, I know as do others with ANY smarts that added weight affects handling and acceleration/braking. A CRX is a feather weight and as such is a bitching autocross car and will make a helluva stop light terror.
If any of you monkey dicks would stop trying to figure out how to finger **** Mary rotten crotch and actually WRENCH on a FAST car (that reads not a 14 sec car, but a SUB 12 sec car) you may begin to understand my concerns for weight.
A car with a power to weight ratio of 6:1 is in the supercar arena (that's 6lbs of car for every hp. for you asshats) The new Z06 is 6.23:1. A CRX that weighs 1900# and has 315whp on tap is 6.03:1. See the concern?

Excuse my use of the vernacular, as I don't often swear. Ignorance irritates me.

Like I said before, your gonna put it in there anyway

 

Marcus, that's true I will be doing a swap. As to what configuration, that remains to be seen. My goal is to keep all the amenities and keep that car lighter than a ton.
I see that your from Shreveport, hope you have dried out, looks like you'll be getting even more water this weekend.

 

Np! i got your back Hahaha.....

Seriously can't wait to read up on you in the future. l8z bro....

so the corvette weighs around 3100 so it has 18600 hp? i think you made a type-O mr. asshat

 

how much horsepower are u trying to get, if ur really worried about the weight u should just boost a d series. but if u want a badass platform swap in a b series i myself have a boosted ls in my rex and it handles real good.

good luck with ur decision.


EDIT: CLEAN!!!! check out my posts its at 420

A 3100lb car with a 6.23:1 weight to power ratio would have 497.6hp.

It is you sir who is the asshat.

Coot_er, your ignorance is showing!
Say it with me now little one, S I M P L E A R I T H M E T I C

If you can't figure out how to do something so simple, DO NOT attempt to modify your car, you will be a rolling (maybe rolling!) hazard!

I am looking at the B18 for the available TQ while using a better flowing VTEC head. We all know that one of the side benefits of turbocharging is TQ so compounding what exists with the B18 will make a really great street car, 'cause we also all know that TQ rules on the street.

 

Here's some food for thought:

The CRX had an AC option that meant the car could vary in wieght of approximately 40 lbs on its front end. When you start building for turbo, or swapping, or just racing in general, you usually pick up a lighter battery and or relocate it to the rear...meaning another loss of 20lb and transfer of 10lbs to the back.

So thats a 60lb difference of weight you can add to the motor if you relocate the battery and ditch the AC...then of course there are lighter hoods, and more little things like aluminum oil pans and stainless steel headers that will continue to drop weight off the front of the car.

In other words, it should still handle quite well as long as you dont get rediculous, and you address the suspension properly.

Only a seasoned autocrosser would really notice a big difference, and I bet its something that you can get used to by autocrossing differently. Besides it will be in an insane class with all that modification, competing with some rediculously sick cars on super huge expensive "one-use" race tires.
