Well my ITR motor is going in today and will have on friday and then am putting the final touches on the car kirk rolebar and Sparco evo seat.


Well being the Junky I am I want to start another project it will be my daily driver so I can keep my baby at home. I was thinking EG or EK hatch. But part of me realy wants to put it in a late model CRX and drop some cams in it and make a drag monster or somthing.

Well what would you do with a B16 full swap?
all feedback replys are welcome but remember it si going ot be my daily driver so has to be streetable

Chris

 

tttttttt

 

CRX!!!

I will do this soon someday. Just need to find a good shell that has been in no accidents and has no rust...oh yeah, and the whole money issue .

The CRX with the small wheel base, light weight, wide stance, and small turning radius will do very well as an autocross car.

 

CRX or EG hatch. Damn, I would like a "project" car in the near future. I'm always looking through the papers for 92-95 EGs for a good price. Just curious, why didn't you make a hybrid with the ITR motor you have? Good luck and let us know how she runs..

 

go crx, preferably 88 HF.... the lighter the better when it comes to a b16

 

Well I love my SI and my buddys have ITR's and rather that put cams and build a B16 and get busted like I did before I decided to do it leagally and I want to challlenge them on a fair basis our cars weigh in only 12lb difference so I want to give them a run for there money and if I win they cant claim a unfair advatage. Also I have always wanted a ITR but could never afford it so I makeing my own in a sence but to my specifications(yea I know it sounds dumb but I am hella happy) Also I beat that dumb imobilizer prob found out how to wire it up and not throw a cell and still have the imbolizer still work not that it will stop thieves but its cool that i get to start my car with a ITR key hehhee love that ****.

Well keep your comments coming and ideas

CHRIS

 

I would go B-16 CRX. Thats just my .02

 

Sounds like the CRX is winning this one

keep them coming

chris:

build an ITA spec crx.

yshi - who might do this instead of building up 234

 

CRX
EVIL

 

Not with a B16 he can't SPU tho... (if it's in his region)

I'd say B16 old MINI or B16 Honda Z600..

 

ITA spec what is that ?

 

SCCA Improved Touring road racing.

 

hmmmmmmmm sounds like fun besides a cage and swap and some brakes what else do I need to do? This sounds like hella fun a pocket rocket that handles and accelerates like a rocket hmmmmmmmm I realy like the sound of it tell me how to build and I will

<-------Chris who is checking Auto Trader right now

 

all you need is a cage, harness, racing seat with brace to cage, fire extinguisher, electrical cutoff. A motor swap isn't legal in Improved Touring but in SPU (Super Production Under 3.0 N/A) it is.. that might not be in your region though.. and SPU has some more fire safety requirments.

 

Sell the B16 to buy a CRX.

When the car weighs nothing, a stock motor will do.

ITA here you come!

 

Yea but I would have to rebuild that motor cause god knows how it was taken care of and I have the money for the CRX just found one a 88 for $950 and runs and has 160K on it so ES bushings rims B16 role cage and racing seat = Fun I can push to the limits and if I crash oh well atleast it was not my baby

 

A B16 CRX is fine if you don't want to race competitively in any class.

For HPDEs and such it'll be just fine.

 

found this definition:
"IMPROVED TOURING...
A VERY GOOD PLACE TO START Arguably, SCCA's most popular entry-level production-based category, Improved Touring (IT) is comprised of 4- and 6-cylinder and rotary-powered automobiles featuring limited modifications. These cars do not compete on a National level, but is probably the most popular Regional-only classification. Improved Touring is separated into four classes: Improved Touring - S (ITS), Improved Touring - A (ITA), Improved Touring - B (ITB), and Improved Touring - C (ITC). The vast majority of cars in this class are former Showroom Stock cars at least five model years old (but no older than the 1968 year model). Engines and transmissions are blueprinted stock assemblies with the majority of modifications centered on suspension improvements, making IT particularly attractive to the budget-minded racer. In addition, with over 250 different classified car models and a very stable rules structure, Improved Touring is capable of suiting virtually any racing budget. "

yshi - who is leaning more and more towards ITA crx

 

That sounds like a blast sighn me up but I would love to use my B16 as we have had fun since mile one and would love not to part with his first taste of Bseries fun and HONDA magic

Put it in an old Mini or a Z600

 

Buy a theft recovery Si.

Put your engine in it.

Put whatever other leftover stock parts you have in it also.

Sell it for a profit and use that money to start your project.

 

that's the best idea so far.. except for my Z600 suggestion

-Dave, who REALLY REALLY wants to see a Z600 with a B16

 

CRX + snail

 

Easiest swap is a B18 (B or C) into an EG hatch. Drop the motor, move/ add a few wires and you're done.

It's a bit more involved to drop a B16/ B18 into an HF. You need mounts, a modified shifter, harness changes and I believe the hubs in the HF need to be changed as well.

I really wanted to do a B18C swap into my 89HF, but after doing the math and figuring out what all would have to be done I might be picking up a CX or VX instead.
