bought my a 1990 honda crx si about a week ago for 350 from a friend i work with bought with intentions on using to get back and forth to work with saving money in gas instead of driving my truck but after getting into it i decided im gonna throw a b18c motor with turbo eventually this month basicly stock now did a quick paint job to get by till i get swap done . the day after i got car i got it running after it was sitting for 2 years took it threw inspections yesterday after putting new calibers rotors and pads in rear on and got tags today. let me know what you all think so far and if any suggestions in turbo and if i should use the b18c motor... as i said im new to hondas i have 2 buick grand nationals and a triumph tr4 stretched with chevy 454 in it so want try something new :D

car before paint taped up


AFTER paint

with rims i found at the shop for free

 

btw i thought it was a good deal for 350 interior imaculant except for driver seat has 2 rips in it thats why seat cover on it and was missing door speakers which i put 2 brand new ones in that i had laying around

 

those rims are TOO big, looks better with the stock honda wheels imo. not a bad deal though for 350. i paid 300 for this.. but it had a hole in the block lol.

 

I would use the b16a2 motor, but thats just me because I have one in my 1988 Honda CRX Si.

Also, I think the wheels are just fine, lol. I'm driving on 17's.

 

Well me personally if ur doing a B18C make it a Vtec... im telling u man a Ls Vtec turbo will murder most cars on road IF done right.... i mean like BarcodeCRXSI said B16 is good and all but i mean a LS Vtec Turbo will Walk a B16 Turbo all day if LS done right.... Just in my opinion... Some guy around here my bros friend got a LS vtec turbo runnin 10s Street legal.... in a EG

But if u do decide to do a B16 do a B16B i mean there all good but B16B is a little better i mean all B16s r good but B16B is top of the line In my opinion


If u need a website for good turbos that not really expensive i can help u juss PM me...

BTW Ur CRX looks good... where u From? and i mean the Rims are to big if u plan on racing which seems like ur not.... so if ur just using the Rex as ur daily driver id leave em


anyway good luck

 

i forgot to ask what is ur price range liek what are u willing to spend on this?

 

That's a sweet 4x4. That was a good buy!

 

no real price range really.. just want a fast A** honda to beat newer z06 just to say dam and u spend 70k for what? lol . Shopping around for a motor and turbo system now before i do anything else to car tho.. im from delaware btw

 

thanks manny its acutally 2wd thats why i put 22s on it instead of lifting it
