what engine swap is the best for the money for a 88 crx+mods? i want 13's all day long for less than $2000

 

haha, good luck!

 

B16a w/ i/e, a guy I know used to pull 14.0 and 14.1 with just i/e on his b16, till he went turbo, you could alway's go with the squeeze if you're that worried about 13's. It's all a matter of how you drive.

 

13's all day? when you find that motor, let me know.

 

I run 13's w/ a B16a all day long , thats the best motor for the money fora crx. thats just me though

 

b18c5....but thats not in your price range

 

it won't be less than $2000 though, not with replacing all of the bad parts, getting / making all of the adaptors to make it fit, and tuning it to run 13's

If your crx is an si model, you can rebuild your d16a6 to run 13's no problem.
go to https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=298354 and look at exospeedAMcrx's last post.

even if your crx is not an si, you can get an si engine and tranny and pull it off for not much more than $2000

 

Ha, 13's all day for 2k? Damn hook me up when you find that!

 

let me know when u find a 13 sec motor for less than $2000, ill take a couple.

 

Not too familiar with $2,000, but add about 1,000 and get a gsr-swap, you'll be running high 13's low 14's if the motor is in good shap.

 

Maybe a ZC or a Z6 with a junkyard turbo kit?

 

\that will work
or he can steal a H22 off a shop and have it swaped for 2000.... that will make him run 13's

 

How long have you been thinking about asking that question. Maybe you should rethink..

 

I'd say get a ZC...........$550.00..
Get some ZEX..............$450.00..
Do head work..............$800.00..
plugs/cap/rotor etc.......$100.00...

Grand total = $2000.00

That should do it but I wouldn't run that all day, you need to sleep don't you?

Edit: Start off with a SI NOT a HF. If you do that you won't have to spend $$$$ on a SI trany! The HF one will slow you down! I know the SI has more lbs....so do some gutting!
