I’m getting a CRX. Im going to put a b16a1 in it. I wanna go N/A with a small shot of NX. I kinda have an idea of what I wanna do. But I want to her what you have to say. Im kinda new to the import world. If you have any tip or advice. its going to be my only car but im going to take it to the track to. I don’t have a ton to spend but im going to keep it for a long time so I wont to be nice. thanks.

 

b16a1 is a good choice, but why not go for a single cam d16y8 or sumthing...Thats what I am doing in my ef, and with a little tuning, be able to run close to an a1 swap for a little money saved. But hey, If you got the money, definently do a b16 swap...in a crx, you wouldn't regret it. nitrous, don't imo...nice to have you, welcome to the forum...

 

first off, the B16A1 is only like $1300... And the amount of tuning to get the sohc to run with it would not save you any money... secondly, I agree, Nos is bad... My boy "Incubus" has a B16a in his rex and he loves it...

 

I wouldn't nock nitrous. It's definitely a cheap power adder. I just wouldn't get crazy with it. I've been successfuly running a 55 shot (zex) on my B18A1 in my rex for about a year now. And my rings are holding just fine. It's there when I want it. And your not constantly straining you engine vs. the turbo/supercharger. I'm sure there's plenty of pro's and cons to every power adder. Just make sure you do your research on n2o before you decide to go that route. But NX kit is a great kit to start with.

if you dont have alot of money to spend, you ahve to drive the car everyday, and your goind to have it along time then i vote .. dont mess with it.

 

i know people who ran nos on a b16 for a long time now...Just don't run a huge shot and you will be fine.. I personally wouldn't run more than a 60 shot.. that is just to be safe..

 

the b 16a is a good motor. But the tq is not that great from 90-93 models but since you said you want nos it sounds like a good plan. I had a 88 hf with a zc intake And 85 shot of nos and run 13.2 At 107.5 mph look luck have fun and be safe.
