Default About to do an Engine SWAP need help

Hi I have a honda CRX 91 SI. Would i be able to fit a sr20det engine in it? I dont have enough money to swap a k20 [has anyone done that swap yet either?]. So can anyone please give me some how to's on how to swap a sr20det engine in my crx. I wanna at least be as fast as maybe a Ls1. Let me know.

And by the way i did search and seems like noone has ever done a k20a swap into a crx. . . anyways ive been tuning hondas for 2 months so i know pretty much everything about honda. Thanks

Marcus

since you now know all about Hondas, you must know that your CRX is front wheel drive - now you just need to spend a couple of months on Nissans where you would find out that the SR20DET Nissan is rear wheel drive - sounds like it might be a lot of work, even for someone with 2 months experience - by the way, here is an SR20 owned by one of our customers

not true they make front wheel drive tranny for the SR20 motors. My buddy had a old NX2000, that thing was the **** back in 1998. But i think the motor was a sr20d. But any how it would be possible to be in that motor into a honda frame. Probably cost more cash than it's worth.

i had a sr20det in in my 04' sentra.

it comes out of a avenier or a blue bird.

putting a sr20det in a honda is kinda funny but ive seen it done.

You are wrong sir!
CRX Bart has a K20,

If you know everything about Hondas in two months I should quit now, I've been working with them for 6 years and I don't know EVERTHING about them.

Try searching again please.

This would have helped you not look as bad if you would have read that. And the entire site called K20A.org

I have been around Honda's for over a decade and I still learn something new everyday. I wish I had the mental capacity to learn everything about tuning a Honda in 2 months.
