-Mini Me
-OBD0-1
-Camshaft
-Tune
-Not sure if you can get away with some new pistons (88-89 integra) for that budget, but if so go with that, if not get a decent clutch

umm how about list exactly what you have..

What do you really want out of the car, you can do alot with 1K for just the motor.

Why on the motor?
the motor is one of the most durable items from the car.
given that the newest CRXs are already 16 years old, I'd spend the money on rotten goods like rubber bushings, brake lines, brake pads. Good tires&lt;biggest difference, then get an alignment.
Give it a good go over you'll feel the difference.
Whatevers left you can stash under the mattress as an "engine" savings fund.
