what is the difference between the 87 and 88 CRX's structurally? can i still fit a B or H series in an 87? are there any websites that explain the differences? thanks...

87 is the older body style (1st gen). They started the 2nd gen 88, and finished in 91.
You will need aftermarket mounts to fit the b-series in the 88-91.
Im not sure if the mounts are the same with the 85?-87 models.

You cant tell?

 

Other than the obvious difference of looks structurally they are totally different. the 87 is a little lighter than an 88 but not by a lot. You can fit any B series motor in the '87 using a mount kit, HASport has a good B series kit. An H series on the otherhand isnt really worth the trouble of trying to put it in such a small car. You can build a B18 or B20 to be just as or even more powerful than an H series for the same price or maybe a little more/less. A B16 will fit perfectly same with B18b/c except for the GSR intake manifold which ive heard wont clear the firewall. An H series is possible but i dont think its worth the hassle. Hope that helps.

 

yeah man, thanks...

 

1G + B-anything = way too fast.

pick up a 85 Si. They weigh about 1800 lbs. There is a rumor of an aluminum one that weighs 100 kg less completely stock(except for the aluminum parts!!!!
