possible? ever been done?

 

It's been done but it would be STRICTLY a drag car. I saw one race an NSX and guess who won??? The CRX ran like 13.1-13.0 or so, and I believe it was a STOCK H22A.

 

yea like he said it would be a strictly drag car. that **** would be wild though. i think if u were gonna do all the work it would take to complete that project u might as well move the engine to the back of the car too.

 

Exactly. However, you can put any b series engine in there. I'm SERIOUSLY considering buying a first gen for really cheap and putting a B16A in it.

 

Wow that would be sweet. 13.1 or so on the stock motor

 

figure out how much its gonna cost you to fabricate everything to put the h22 in and then take all that money and buy a b16 and build it and put the b16 in, that way it is more reliable for street driving UNLESS you plan on makin the 1st gen a complete race car , if you do that, strip every god damn peice of interior and sub frame that is not needed and hit high 12 witha stock motor

 

i'll make myself CLEAR here:

 

Whatever dude. If youre building a drag only car... h22a is a great platform to build on.

Ill repeat what others have said tho... DRAG ONLY. This car would be rather unmanagable on the street, due to the massive understeer that such a light car such as a first gen would create. Id love to get a 88hf and do a h22aturbo in it fordrag only... overall... 88-91 crx's are a much better, easier platform to work with then the 1st gen. The CRX's engine bay is already horribly small... and the 1st gen's is even worse...

 

that's fucken weak!!.
i've got a COMPLETELY stock block AND head slapped together and ran a 13.5 in my '87 Si. and don't anybody get **** and say it's not a stock motor either.
i agree with RexB16...H22s are USELESS! in civics.

EDIT: i love how people think they're the first to think of doing such to the 84-87 platforms. do some research, unfortunately, it's becoming more and more popular for some serious swaps in these cars.

You said it. You'd think that since the 1st gen CRX is such a light car, the H22A would be at least pullin high 11's!!!

I dunno, maybe the guy who raced it was using the stock rims with skinny street tires!

 

I only saw the one pass so maybe it was just a test... I certainly don't think that's "fucken weak" though. I don't know if he runs faster. I still think 13.1 is impressive. As for your B20, that's a good time. I'm hoping for low 14's high 13's with a stock B16.

 

no, its the fact that its so light that it cant get any traction, that thing must be smoking tires in every ******* gear...

 

its been done... i posted this pic a little while ago..
