^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^

if its dual point, do a mpfi swap <----- SEARCH

and just add basic bolt on's e.x. intake, header, exhaust, throttle body, fuel rail/pr, pullys ect.....


oh and,

put as many stickers on your car as you can, each one adds 10 horsepower & the bigger and gayer the sticker, the more torque you could have......

If it is DPFI, start with a MPFI swap and if you are comfortable doing that type of swap move into an engine swap. Easiest from that would be the DOHC ZC swap, if you're feeling confident go with the B-series swap of your choice. Check out the search and find out what you like. You name it, it's been done to the CRX.

Search (not just on HT although there's plenty of info here) and research first, and then do it again.

Whats that supposed to mean? Im not a ricer. I hate ricers. Second I dont believe in throwing stickers all over my car. The only visual mod i ever do is rims and they are nothing bigger than 16-18 (least on a 240sx). I dont beileve in cromed out fast and the furious type **** ether.

What im looking to do is to find a good solid base motor that can handle boost. Looking to make 7-10 PSI. Or i could say **** it and drop an SR into it, but that would only insult the SR20DET .

Your giving them the chassis code (EF) which you do not have by the way all USDM 4th gen civics and rexes are ED's....but anyway they want to know what trim your CRX is i.e. CRX HF, CRX standard (DX) or a CRX Si. They just want to know what you have to start out with because all all three trim levels have different engines, fuel injection, tranny etc. Don't get too bent out of shape. We just need info to give info that's all.

lol you make me laugh you dont even know if your car is an dx hf or si and you want to put a sr20 in there there is more science to it than just saying ohh imma drop a sr20 in there in that case deal with it here https://honda-tech.com/forums/hybrid-engine-swaps-18/

tell them you have a crx "insert trim here" and that you want to put an sr20det in your car like the azn guy in the fast and the furious you dont even own a "ef" you own a "ed"

hehe, Why don't you just go ahead and sell the crx to someone who will appreciate it and pick up a nice b13 sentra and drop the sr20 into that. Or find an SE-R and boost that. My brother has owned a few boosted sentras they fast as hell. and It would be so much better to do that than molest your crx.

Guy's, he mentioned that his CRX wasn't fuel injected. So chances are that it probably is an EF. Either that or he's mistaking the DPFI intake for a carb.

lawl.

even on an s13 why would you run 16-18's? thats ****ing stupid.
clowns are gay, you dont know anything, and i dont think you should hop into a honda forum saying you're gonna toss an sr into a civic and think you're tight.

1) sell your car to someone who would appreciate it, and not put icp stickers on it and try to boost it when they dont even know the trim level.

2) get a ****in double barrel, insert in mouth, pull trigger.

3) go away!

Hey exz0n-.-
Grow the **** up dickhole. Who the **** cares he likes ICP. He got confused, didnt know what kind of code you guys were looking for and is OBVIOUSLY new to hondas. How do you expect people to come here and act? He wanted advice and you guys shat all over him. Grow the **** up or take your own advice when it comes to taking a life. Cause yours isnt needed in a world like this. Grow up you ****ing child.
