well, if you whant performance from one of the cars. Use the B series engine on your CRX........ you will be faster with a crx than a coupe if they both have the same engine.

and also, you only need to swap once.....

I recommend a b18c1 block and a b16 head.... For the B series, you need axles, ecu, wiring, sensors, motor, transmision, motor mounts, etc

 

If you want to put the Y8 in the CRX, the motor and the tranny will drop right in. If it's a DX, you need to convert to MPFI. You will also need to activate VTEC with the Y8, use the ECU out of the coupe and you should be all set. Nobody can tell you what times you will see, go to a track and find out. I agree that putting the B in the CRX is a much better plan, you will have a much faster car and you only have to swap once.
