So im new to honda tech.......and well to honda's all together. Last week i picked up a 91 crx si as a daily driver for like 300 bucks. The car runs good and is fun to drive. So im thinkin im gonna invest 2500 dollars more in to it and make it a bit faster. So any suggestions? A few ppl said a b16 swap or a H22 swap...... would these kill the already good gas mileage im gettin out of the car?
thanks for any help or ideas

 

since i had my injectors balanced and put a new o2 sensor in, i'm getting 33-35 mpg avg with a b16 swap.

if you are truely concerned about gas milage you should realize that with more power usualy comes less gas milage. i think i'm down to 28 mpg in my GSR swap.
Maybe a D series will be a happy medium.
so what do you want more, and how much power are you looking for?

what are you D sries guy getting for mileage?

 

want gas mileage and a little more power do a d15b easy swap and you get 52 mpg and 130 horse i'm planning one for my wife/

 

if you get an h22 from an engine importer its going to be more than a $2500 swap. There's the tranny, axles, and mount kit, which would def put you over 2500. Unless you buy everything from an individual seller, might be cheaper, but I still doubt it.
