For the money you would spend to hop up that 12v engine I would say its not worth it. I'd use the money and get a B16A. With a little work that engine alone would make you CRX nasty. www.hasport.com makes a kit to do this.

Go for a B16A or a ZC.

B16, don't waste your time on a zc.

you will need knuckles from a 86-89 integra, some wiring, and not sure about which axles. i believe this totalled about $2500 in sport compact car's write up.

if you just want some gains from your stock motor, buy a JC Whitney u-bend for intake piping, and get a cheap filter somewhere. if you have a hacksaw and some brains, you can fab your own intake. as for an exhaust, take it to an exhaust shop and have them make a cat back. then buy a test pipe. don't worry about an exhaust chip, they don't do wonders on hondas like they do on the V-Dub's.

Jeez, $2500 for the swap? I just bought an 85 CRX with a B16 in it for $2000
