How much would a 1990 CRX si engine would normally cost? I got a junkyard selling one for $1000 and have a mechanic do it for $400. The engine has approx. 60-80k miles. Would this be good to set up with a turbo kit? Pls let me know what are my options to make this engine go fast. This would be a daily driven CRX. Should I also go ALL motor or Turbo?

 

300 max. i mean it shouldn't be anymore than that for the engine, and for that price you can get a tranny too. anyways about the rest of your question you can search all over the place on this site and find the answers you want. it all depends on how fast you wanna go and how much you wanna spend. if you want like 250 horsepower range i would say not to stick with a d series motor.

 

1,000 is way to much, you could almost buy a b16 for that.

 

i agree with the others. $1000 is wayyyy too much. i wouldn't spend more than $400 MAX!

 

thanks for the reply. i dont think im going to get it. they are such a rip off

 

ill sell you my whole swap for 400 plus shipping, jdm d15 block, milled SI head, si , I/M, SI ecu, tranny has no grinds, metal head gasket

 

I said this earlier this week too, but last friday I sold one for $100, and a couple days after that I sold one for $50. These were both perfectly running engines, but there was no space for them after engine swaps. If you keep your eye on the hybrid forum you might be able to catch someone who is swapping out a A6 and selling it for cheap.

 

man thanks.....it goes to show that im still trying to find my way around this site.......HYBRID FORUM............HYBRID FORUM.....................hahahha

 

just in case it wasn't said enough already....

no way in hellllllll ...wayyyy tooo muuuch.
i wouldn't spend more than $200 (longblock)

 

i just sold mine the other day for 300

 

I would agree and say $300 max from a private party...

 

For $1000 dollars you are getting raped. call up nippon motors they can get jdm sohc zc's with relatively low miles for around $300.

 

I sold my CRX si motor with ECU, axels and wiring harness for 400 bucks..Dont pay over 600 or you will be getting tookin for a ride..

 

i got mine for free, i wasn't sure if it ran good (the guy said it did but wasn't sure), dumped about 4-500 dollars into it including a cf dual friction clutch and a header, im not done yet but here it is:

 

guys he is overseas

 

good call, there aren't too many ef's in GUAM!

badass little honda motor, two stage vtec, with two vtec solenoids.

 

jdm d15 vtec sounds really nice!!! i am guessing that is a obd1 well i know it is already. still very nice.

what is 2 stage vtec? since the z6 has one solenoid would that make it 1 stage vtec? what are the differences?

 

hmm my jdm d15 doesnt have vtec and its obd-0
