Ok i possibly have the chance to buy a mint condition 1991 crx si for 1800$ with 120k on it. the car is in almost showroom condition for its age. Its stock exept its got a 3 inch thermal exhaust on it and wheels. For the price i feel its a steal. It still has the stock si motor, but if i bought it i would be doing a swap within time. What im wondering is what motors you guys would recommend for me to swap in if i buy it and what i need and whats envolved? Honestly this is going to be my daily driver since i have a evo 9 as well so i dont intend on investing a lot of money into the crx but i will do the swap and a few bolts on h/i/e. I looked into buyin a B16a1 w/ cable tranny and ecu for about 1000-1500$ for mostly everything i need, but im not sure if this swap is worth it. also i live on Long Island, New York if any of u guys know of a close by places with engines let me know because they want alot for shipping these motors crate if perfer to pickup. thanks.

 

theres nothgin out here in Long Island

 

yea i know, i believe theres quite a few in nyc and jersey. let me know if u know any in those areas.

 

ok, 1000-1500 for everything needed, where did you see this,??
you might have it mixed up,
you need the motor, tranny, ecu, Mounts, shiftlinkage, throttle cable, wiring harnes, sub harness, thats about 2200 from Hmotors shipped,
if its ur Daily driver y dont you stick with a stock motor and go turbo?

 

im not a fan of turboed hondas plus i have a evo, this is gonna be my second car. im just looking to get some more power out of the crx if i get it. plus every site i saw that sells jdm motors can get the b16a1 w/ cable tranny for 1200-1500$ with everything u mentioned.
