Default the new crVX

its a near minty 89 si. NO RUST! i got it in trade for working on a friends new house. i swapped my 1.5 vtec-e VX engine (50+mpg) into it that i got from a wrecked hatch i bought. it is now the almighty crVX. suprisingly enough, its decently quick. alot more than i though it would be. the lean burn mode on it kinda weirded me out at first though. the engine received all new everything before going in. the car has a greddy catback (the nicest exhaust for a crx), hurst shifter, and old skunkworks skunk2 springs and tokico shocks. and it has del sol seats but would rather have some crx seats.

just a few fun facts about the d15z1:
-roller rockers
-oil cooler
-190cc injectors
-hot plugs (ngk 4's)
-5 wire o2
-aluminum a/c and alt. brackets
-like 20mm throttlebody
-etc.



















the pics suck or it either needs more sun or my camera sucks but it will do for now.

im currently looking for a stock intake, stock corners, and stock battery tie down.

zero rust, the original first owner took the rubber mouldings off the wheel wells when he got it. and the car has been sitting for over the past 4 years.

more than i thought it would be, yes it is. 96 ft lbs torque and mated to a si tranny in a crx, yes its quicker than a stock 93 vx hatch.

when you have a 10 second street car, you can tell me what quick is. kthnxbye.

what sort of mpg are you getting?

Any additional wiring have to be done other than the 5-wire 02 sensor?

Looks great
