I own a 88 Honda CRX that I have had for about 4 to 5 yrs now.... I have done miner mods.. exhaust, coilovers and seats and short ram intake, I was wonderin wat would be the best swap to do for my money and power?.... I was thinkin b162 or gsr?... but idk.. I would apreciate any input.. thanks.

 

turbo

 

k20a with cams, i/h/e will see a reliable everyday driver with 240 whp

 

what is your budget? that will tell you the most

 

^What he said^

.... and read the rules.

Well my budget right now is bout 10 to 12 dollars an hour... I dont think I want to do k20 cause i have to cut the hood.. I dont want to do that.... also i was thinkin bout ls/vtec turbo... is that set up good?... Im just wantin input... I want to do something Im just stuck making up my mind.... Money is not an isue... I have a hatch that has a b16a in it and Its been the fastest car i have owned.. So im just wanting some input on what motor or set up would be good... thanks

 

save up money and do research before you decide. it also depends on how much work you want to do, if you want to build an engine or not... everyone has their own opinions on what to build.

 

sorry just have to search. look at the specs of the engine and what is needed to do a swap for each motor and go off that. but i do agree wish i had a k20 but then again love my 343whp gsr turbo

 

You don't have to cut the hood to fit a k20 into a CRX.

BUDGET is going to be the deciding factor here

 

is there a thread where i can find what i need to do a K20 swap in my CRX?

 

Ls6

 

k20a.org

Also, check hasport and/or rywire's website. I'm pretty sure they have walk throughs for swapping a k into a CRX.

 

thanks! ^

 

With a k20, you don't have to cut your hood, when you have a jdm hood. With a k24 you do regardless of the hood. But if you have a balanced budget go k20. Im doing a k24/k20 frank on my ef8 at the moment. So far, already wasted about $1500 for the block and k20z1 head and cams. With about 3 grand left to spend. You just have to find to good deals.

 

D16A6 w/ a moderate turbo build and a good tune. Fairly inexpensive, reliable, and pretty quick.

<<<< Likes turbo's.

 

wow block head and cams for $1500? That's an awesome deal.

IMHO, a k20 is the way to go to have something fast, with lots of room to improve, and OEM reliability.

 

If I had it to do all over again I would go B16 turbo. Do the B16 swap and then as money permits boost it.

K20 is a good motor but boost>K20, H22, B18CR.

IMO,

 

personally i want LS B18 with turbo

 

C thats more of wat im leaning toward doin is ls/vtec turbo....I heard that if done right its really reliable and if just kept at a medium psi and carfull driving and good tune then it will last a while....

 

1.3 liter. Out of old school crx/civic. Idk if its considered. D series. I heard they make like 800 whp if you have a couple stickers.




/sick of these threads.

 

I m pretty sure you would have to be a Pseudo-Moderator to pull off that swap!!

 

I personally like the b16a or b16b..it bolts right in and you can use a cable tranny if you dont want to do the conversion

 

i'd say just put in the best engine....

 

This is true for all b series (except prelude b series) ... And the b18c's are gonna make better power then the b16s...

 

Any thing bigger the B18c1 will cause understear and it wont be street legal (if ur in Cali that is). It also depends on if you want turbo GSR is 10:1 compression so you may want to go B16a2 but if you want all motor the GSR is the way to go.
