i am not looking to spend over a grand on an engine and i want to know the best kind for a crx.
'87?
'88?
'89?
'90?
'91?

 

d16a6, or mini me, or a complete z6 or y8 motor. with SI trans.

 

DOHC ZC or SOHC ZC VTEC

What about B18A? Getting a new tranny might make it go over the budget though...

 

D15B

D15B VTEC

 

I highly suggenst you get a SOHC VTEC.

I got my SOHC VTEC ZC (d16z6 basically) and an Si tranny for $900 CAD... both with approx 60,000km from japan, I went right in and chose my motor and tranny from a large selection. For anyone around Vancouver I suggest hiting up JK Japanese Engines for your swap gear. I'm glad I did.

If it has to be D-series, then SOHC VTEC is definitely the way to go.

 

I got my b18a for 250 and si trany for 400 so there you go.

I think a b18a/b would be good too. Maybe a b20. I dont know...

 

i think a b20 swap might go over a grand though.

 

JDM D15b from the civic VTi woooo I love this mini wonder, had it on my last ef very pleased! cost... around 970 shipped from hmotors

Any b series swap will probably cost over a grand. But his post makes it seem like he's only looking for an engine under 1000. It would probably be correct to assume that he's talking about a full swap though.

 

B20 hands down. If your just asking about the motor itself. The swap will cost another grand atleast. If you choose to upgrade more stuff of course it'll be a bit more... But why not upgrade the clutch ect when its already out of the engine...

buy a B16 trans, and a B20 or B18a/b, pr4 ecu

have fun. later add a vtec head and ecu, youre set..... another great upgrade.
