Hey im planning on buying a crx soon, and was wondering which motor you would put in it and why?

b16
b18
zc

What makes one of these motors better than the rest?

 

depends on your budget.....

out of those 3, I will choose B18c5.. which is the integra type R engine (around 200hp, hand built) its around $5k for the swap......

If not, then I would choose B18c1 (GSR engine) cheaper than the type R engine, but has less power......

B16a1 engine will be a good choice too, 160hp.....

But if you dont have any money, build a d16..vtec because its cheap and you have alot of choices to upgrade it... and you can swap alot of things from other D16's engines


good luck

 

those motors are not better than the rest because k series have more power...

Search it's that simple
You threw out an pointlessly open ended question that trying to aswer is probbly going to throw you off.

What you need to do after searching if still lost is tell us what kinda $$ you have
How much work are you willing to do what this car will be used for things along those lines

 

Dude *** Sniper, dont reply unless u have something usefull to say thx.

You are doing the exact same thing, I see nothing useful in your post whatsoever. The reason *** Sniper said all that was because this has been covered 28912347890 times. I am started to get a little annoyed, I'm sure he is as well. Not only did roflcopter not mention how much $$ he has, he didn't mention which b18, and which ZC. Maybe some plans for the car?

If he had an unlimited budget go with a k20. If he was on an unlimited budget and wanted one of those engines, I would get a b18c1, build it, and boost it. If he had a limited one, I would get a b18b with a LSD b16 transmission. Or maybe a dohc ZC boosted, those love boost.

Like *** sniper said: the search button is your friend. There is no need to start another thread about something that has been said a million times. Its like me starting a thread in a math forum asking what 2+2 is.

I am tired of seeing the same stupid questions over and over again. I can't believe I am saying this but damn, search.

 

yes search... but what you need to do first is set a budget... then you can take it from there...

like cheapest would be the zc and most expensive would be the b18

so it all depends on how much money you want to fork out...

 

well i havent really had any project cars yet. so im kinda new at this...im not afraid to put good money into, im not rich tho so no k series. uhhh i just want to know like good cominations cuz i heard like... b16 and zc are kinda close, i heard also i could get a v-tec for the zc, how well does that do with a v-tec and a turbo on a zc?

Don't take offense, this is constructive criticism.

Alright, little better. Its vtec. Next. Since you are fairly new to this, I would suggest doing something simple and going from there. I would swap in the sohc vtec zc. That's a good starting point. Once you got that in, I would put the turbo in later. If you <U>search</U>, you will find a great deal of information on how to put the zc into your car. Its fairly simple. Also, you might have to convert from dpfi to mpfi.

start with the simple motor first or you will get in over your head... the non-vtec sohc zc is a direct bolt in assuming you have mpfi... after that you can put a vtec head on... once you have mastered that you can do some research and decide if you wanna go turbo or b-series or better yet b-series turbo...

 

i was planning on a dohc zc...perhaps v-tec...any info on that...all my info so far is from a friend... so he might be wrong...make me wise

 

i know they make v-tec sohc zc's but what about dohc

 

do you even know the difference between sohc or dohc ?

sohc rules, because its cheap and you can combine alot of things and weigh much less than A B series engine......

with mini me swap (vtec into a non-vtec single overhead cam ) and a good turbo setup can easily climb up to 180hp or more......

remember that CRX/EF's dont weigh alot.........

think of a motorcycle, they dont wheigh and they go about 10 seconds on a 1/4 mile with 120hp engines

I mean, a crx is not as light as a motorcycle, but its lighter than an EVO or STI, which weigh around 3285 lbs, so that means that you dont have to pass 276hp to beat an evo,,,, with around 200 you will do....

 

heres the anwser.
get what ever motor you want to get and can afford.

I bought my crx for the sole purpose to put a b16 into it. I had a 95 civic and wanted a b16 and found out it was cheaper to put a b16 into a crx than it was to put it into a civic, so I sold the civic bought my crx and now have a b16 in it.

and if you have no clue on what motor you want go to http://www.hmotorsonline.com and reasearch the different motors. you can pretty much put any motor into your crx. just takes money

 

b18 imo do your research man, keep us informed. b18c something that is

 

yea...single over head cam, double over head cam...u can get more power out of a dohc than a sohc. i wanna go dohc with a turbo, i heard that zc work better and worse with different turbos, what a good turbo combination with a dohc zc v-tec

 

i was wondering on how rare a vtec head is for the zc, and if i get one, is there anything i have to do to the block so the vtec head will fit?

Dual over head cam. You can get plenty of power out of a sohc engine. ZCs come in dohc and sohc, and vtec versions of the sohc. ZCs with proper tunning work great with turbos (all of them). 9.1:1 compression(or somewhere around there) is good for turbo.

You need to do ALOT of research before you touch the car. And stop listening to your friends, research for yourself and know what YOU are doing.

Considering some ZCs came stock with vtec, not too rare. Search. It will tell you everything you need to know in doing a mini-me (vtec head on non-vtec block).

 

i am doing research by asking others(you), if not that, where else can i look?

they only make a sohc vtech zc?

 

Personally I'd opt for the B16 or B18 but it depends what you want to spend and what kind of power you're hoping to make. ZC is fine on a budget, but don't expect too much from it.

I'm far from a Honda tech, hell I've only been on this forum for two months so whatever I say take with many grains of salt. Just things I've heard and picked up. If I do get a Honda ever, it will be a Rex and in that case I would go the B16 route. Sexy and quick... that or the roflapache.
