Alright so I've long decided on a J swap than I'm planning and was thinking lately... Can I tow things with a J35 engine inside a CRX? I mean, the Ridgeline has a J35 and it can tow.

 

The chassis isnt made to tow like the ridgeline is

 

The ridgeline is A TRUCK. A Crx is a commuter car. That would be like asking if the ridgeline has the same towing capacity as an F250/F350.

 

Now hold on. I never asked if I could tow LIKE a ridgeline. I just asked if I'll be able to tow something. Like maybe a small travel trailer.

 

Yes. Go ahead and put even more stress on the unibody than the j series already puts on it by adding a trailer to it.

Hell, might as well take the hatch off and attach a third wheel to it. That way, you can tow better things

 

Maybe I'm looking for a more serious answer instead of your sarcastic remarks. And I can just reinforce the unibody with stiffeners.

 

Well, maybe if you didn't start post whoring on this site and coming up with these ridiculous threads, I wouldn't have a reason to be sarcastic. (Wheels pin when vtec hits, what's going on?!, what exhaust fit my motor?, I wanna put a j30 in my car so I can have better towing capacity with my CRX, MY LITTLE 2 SEATER CAR THAT A CHIHUAHUA COULD KICK AROUND WITH EASE.)

 

Actually I wanted to put a J35 in my car NOT because it gives me more towing capacity. But because it's cheaper than a K series and has more power stock to stock than B, H, F or D series engines.

 

So you mean to tell me that it's easier to a V6 into a Crx than an inline 4? Hell, even an H series motor has more space than a J series.

 

lol. let us know how much you spend for everything to get a J into your crapactular bucket. then we can laugh at you.

 

^mhmm

 

haha hell, this makes me wanna thro a 351 in my hatch.. **** my set-up plans.. for the money rent a damnd u-haul

 

Dude please please please DO this!!! But you have to record it so when you try to tow something we can all watch the Crx rip in half

 

If you want to tow something small just buy a small truck it will be cheaper and not retarded.

 

 

Yes you can tow with a CRX, just not very much. I have logged over 10k miles towing a tire trailer with a CRX and there are tons of others that tow small trailers all the time with a Civic/CRX/Integra. In my opinion about 500lbs is about the most I would feel comfortable with but I have seen others towing closer to 1000lbs.

 

U-Hauls aren't racecars though.. And ok you guys can ALL laugh harddd. But in the end, I'll be the one laughing MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Lol no jk. But yeah, I'm gonna try this nonetheless.
