Was looking around eBay for some updates for a 89 Honda crx-hf, 1.5 liter d series block. The car for the most part is stock. Right now i do not know what kinda of mileage i get, he just got repaired. Is there a switchable prom? Saw some chips on eBay that claim to have horsepower and boost gas mileage. Look like boxes with wires and no real claims.

Looking at a cold air intake but after that kinda lost. Kinda need some info.

Thanks

do not waste your money on those little boxes on eBay. they're worthless.

get yourself an Si tranny. the hf trans is dog slow and you will feel a huge difference in newfound acceleration. a cai and exhaust system will help a minimal amount but if you want to make much more power then you are currently you will have to either boost the engine you have or do a motor swap to something better.

 

Yeah if your look for any kinda power you just need to get rid of the d15. D16's are a cheap upgrade with tons of options.

 

been see'in alotta people from texas around these parts lately

 

what is the diff between a 15 and and a 16? Looking to do simple mods. Money is tight right now, but i am patient.

Si tranny? have to look into that...man i am such a noob....

Texas?...it is finally cool enough to do this kind of stuff....The only thing i hate about this state is the heat

 

Do not buy anything off of ebay. Go and order it at a legit shop is my advice

 

Capacity mainly. And the majority of the 16's were multi port fuel injected, where as most of the 15's are DPFI. Although i think the HF was the exception, combining MPFI and the 1.5L to improve fuel economy.

 

If you are ever in the Odessa/Midland area let me know. I have the D16A6 and Si tranny I pulled out of my CRX I would sell hella cheap.

 

i would love to get the D16 off u but i live in florida

 

Like how cheap....give me an idea. I can't afford it now but, humor me.

I think mine is single port... here is a look at the car....

and i do mean it...if they cant see me, they are blind

 

check this site out: houston-imports.com/forums theres ALOT of honda **** there and people haggle alot with pricing. but the best bet would to trash that intake mani(***** TOO restrictive) and get an 88-91 si mani. that will clear up some air flow. but how serious are you about upgrading parts?

 

over time very serious....just the money thing right now....

 

how far are you from houston? ive got some parts if you need some for a cheap price

 

Here is my local for sale thread.

like the post, if i had it your engine/tranny would be gone

 

si trans will do wonders
its geared way better ch wont give you horsepower but you will go faster to a point
chips are a waste of money
cai are nice for sound imo
untill you have some supporting mods
you could do a whole d16/zc or even jdm d15b vtec
and these would be a very noticlbe jump in power
you could also do mini me tons of writeups and explanations on them google it.
its a vtec head on a non vtec block
i also think if you were to buy an intake mani and dont go aftermarket the y8 is the best flowing im not sure what it takes to install as far as vacum and egr stuff goes but it will bolt up, im sure theres a writeup on that
theres a lot you can do but the most helpful stuff is learning
reading and understanding what it is your reading

 

Okay, this thread is exactly what im looking for. I've got an 89 Crx hf as well. Pretty much stock besides the Air intake. Ill be sure to share any information i get as i am still learning as well. Good luck with your car

 

572 BBC with quad turbos FTW!!!

 

i have learned a lot here. wealth of info. post your car, would like to see it.

 

Ill post some pics as soon as my camera starts working again lol. theres a small pic in my avatar
