Im a new one to this field. I bought a crx with its engine already swapped (B16A). But some one suggest me to sell it with a D15 motor and put that B16 in a EG8 cos he said that the jerk coming from a powerful engine like B16A could damage the car body (chassis) and is not good for an use for a long time.


Do you agree with this? I love the CRX and its massive acceleration!!! Will I be able to gain the same with EG8 if then?

 

Um dude , look around in these threads B's r like the most common swaped motor of motor swaps , no one else seems to have any probs , sounds like dude is trying to swipe ur rex
keep it man , IMO

 

and... the B16A came from the factory in the JDM CRX SiR

 

thanks for replying. my crx is a normal one with engine swapped. is the chassis and the body same for both SIR and the other models of CRX?

 

chassis same ,yes. body , not entirly but not to the point that it matters, in the ?'s ur asking

 

cos my car is experiencing a heavy jerk when shifting (in high RPM), and my friends says that's because of the engine power is too much for the body. CRX are coming with B16A engine as well. so i cant understand why mine is producing that big jerk. I found the chassis cracked as well and had to weld it.

 

in that case there are mini suspension for engine for this things i suggest you buy that and install it, b16 are normal swapped on this cars cause SiR has b16 in it

 

ROFL! please tell me your friend is kidding or just ****ing with you?!? , if hes not kidding is he on crystal meth or some ****?

and if its jerking allot check radius rod bushings and engine mounts

 

There are alot of people out there with much more powerful motors in their CRX's that don't have any issues. Your friend fails.

 

thanks for all replies.. I recently found that the engine is not propperly aligned. maybe thats causing the big jerk?

 

yeah that could do it.
