HELLO EVERYBODY!
Whats going on guys?
Names Tong, im from Texas, but currently deployed in Iraq. I got lots of time on my hands out here, and a little bit of money. So I thought i'd join the family and discuss a few options I have with you tech-heads and veteran tuners.
I just recently bought a 91 CRX SI. It isn't in the best shape, but for 800 American bones, you get what you pay for right? Luckily only a few dings in the body, but the engine runs with a bad tranny, and it stalls when shifted to gear.
So im thinking of two routes to go, maybe three?
As you have a right to know, this CRX will be a daily driver/project car. I have a Lincoln LS I like to drive around on the weekends for comfort and relaxation, but it's big on gas. So I decided to buy a nice light weight car, and what more perfect speeder than the CRX?
So before I start rambling on about my wants and needs, let me list my three options, and maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.
I am looking at option numero uno the most.
-ALL MOTOR-
B18C GSR COMPLETE CHANGE OVER JDM SPEC. ITB AND EXHAUST. TUNE FOR HIGHER COMPRESSION, AND MAYBE SHOOT 100 SHOT OF NITROUS LATER DOWN THE ROAD.
Option numero dos would be
- TURBO -
LS BLOCK, WITH GSR HEADS. JDM SPEC. TUNE FOR LOWER COMPRESSION, AND INSTALL TURBO KIT.
Option numero tres would be
- STOCK -
Keep the SOHC ZC motor in, and just roll around hoping I don't regret wasting the extra cash on a wasted tranny on a wasted motor.
Anywho, any other options or insights would be much appreciated from a new CRX owner
Thanks guys

I'd do whatever you want to do. It is your car. If you read and search around here on HT you can narrow it down to what YOU want.
