hey guys...
i just bought a 91 crx si motor for 200 bucks.. it has a blown head gaskest...i want to put on a SOHC head..well a built head and pistons and ****. i want it to run like low 13's to high 12's can anybody tell me if they have a setup like this and how much they built it for i am on a budget.....i just want a good *** sleeper....

 

good luck getting 12's out of a SOHC unless you turbo or S/C it....going N/A and getting 12's is most likely impossible and not cheap

 

it is possible.....there is a n/a sohc crx hf in the 11's i believe.........but i t WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!! I MEAN VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!! i say go b series.

 

you want 12's from SOHC...you better have a lot of MONEY. We all can't get what we want right?

Jeff-

 

12's are possible from the sohc. It will take some money but it also will take quite a bit of cash to do a swap.

 

thats what im shooting for as well...its not as expensive as everyone thinks...dam you all for saying go b-series and take the ***** way out...

sohc vtec head-250
zex street/strip cam-300
headwork, includes p&p valves, valve springs, retainers, etc. 1000
pistons-400 (11.0:1)
rods-400
cam gear-100
blockguard-150
clutch-350
flywheel-300

maching and putting back together with all other parts-500-750

total 3750- beating b-series ED's priceless...with this setup probably runnng low 13's

add 75-100 hp shot of NAWZZZZ 12's fo sure...

 

b-series swap

b16a/tranny/ecu-1500
mount kit-500
shift linkage-150
axles-150
clutch-300
tb/waterpump-150

total-2750 and a used, tired engine
running mid-high 14's...

 

anything's possible. But for me, I want something that's RELIABLE. Not like..yeah I hit 12's and my motor blow the next day. I'm building my teg to hit 10's as we speak now and trust me...****'s not cheap when you start building the engine...

Jeff-

 

why would the motor blow up...so your saying if someone did this to a b-series it wouldnt blow up...

 

hehehe

 

no no no...you didn't get what i'm saying. B series motor already have more HP than D series motor and it require less EXTRA POWER (less stress on the motor) than the D series motor. I'm in the process of building me a 14 sec 1.6 sohc turbo auto crx as we speak now (as cheap and reliable as i can) and it's not cheap to mod your car to do 12's PERIOD.

Jeff-

 

i already have a b16 hatch.. i am really not impressed with that i want a POS that is fast....

 

okay, so let me get this straight you're comparing cost prices for a d-series mini-me swap, to retail prices for a b16a swap.... hmm.... looks like you dont know much about b series swaps, or maybe you're just trying to make a point w/ bias information. First off, you'd be lucky to pull 15's in that car w/ street tires and a tired *** d series tranny... And where do you get your bseries parts from? Maybe I should hook you up.

b16a/trans/ecu-1100 MAX... for an extra 200-250 you get LSD... your si doesnt have that
Hasports new mount kit-475 WITH the shift linkage
Wiring harness-175
Integra axles-100/150 at a junkyard
act street/strip clutch-280 MAX
JUN3 or CTR/ITR cams-350/700
Matching valve train-300
Set of slicks-200
and why did you put TB/waterpump here? You're telling me that your not going to replace the water pump and timing belt on the d-series when you tear it apart, but you will replace it on a motor that guaranteed to have no more than 35-45K on it?

thats a real 12 second car.... and it doesnt cost 3750.

 

ok you have to factory in shipping for the b16a, and notice how i put in 500-750 for the extra parts and build up...

 

plus for the parts you mentioned it costs 3230 adn thats using the itr/ctr cams, and no you will not get a 12 sec car from this at all...probably low 14's to high 13's...your not doing anyting really except adding a cam and letting it rev more...plus the jun3 cams would suck for ******* street...plus how would you tune it without cam gears...add 180 bucks right there...and its still a tired and unknown engine from japan...

and add more money for machining for putting in the cams and valvetrain...wow your about 4000 right there... knucklehead...

Shipping for motor? What about header/exhaust for the B-series? Tuning for the Jun 3's?

Not to be an A$$, but JUST putting in the cost for a pre-made wiring harness makes you lose creditability. That's gotta be the biggest WASTE of money in a swap. Adding wires is SO simple. If you can't do the wiring, you shouldn't be doing the swap. Save the cash for something else.

You think that your setup will hit 12's? I don't. (Keyboard racers ALWAYS hit 12's though!) JMO Overkll

BTW, where are you getting the Kit/linkage for $475? Even with dealer discount the best I could get is $500.

all you need is a 100 shot of NOS she will pull 11's

 

and a turbo running 4 bar or 60 + PSI

 

D16Z6 + I/H/E + slicks + ZEX in a lightweight car.

I went 13.09 on a stock motor.
