I might be getting a 91 CRX with an engine that is about to blow......so......

which engine would I be better off swapping into it?

B18B from a DA integra

-or-

B16A from EK Civic

 

What are your goals?

 

whats your budget?

Blaze

 

My budget for the engine and tranny is around 2,000. I would like to get it to run at least 13's.

 

It'd probably be cheaper to get the b18 out of an old integra. Plus, the wiring won't be as much of a pain (I think).

 

the b18 and boost it.

 

Just to clarify, the DA integras had a B18A (90-91 had OBD0 130Hp; 92-93 had OBD1 140Hp).

The 3rd gens had the B18B (142Hp)

 

I was just about to say that until I scrolled to the bottom and saw your post

 

You really can't go wrong with either. You'll probably experience about the same time with the B16 being a bit faster with the basic bolt ons. If you get a B16 and get i/h/e and some good cams and tune them properly along with some weight reduction, 13's is a very realistic goal. That is not too much of a big budget.

 

Go with a B18A you might want to budget a little more money than 2000, never know what can happen with a swap

 

i dont htink you can use $2000 and 13s in the same sentence...well maybe u can try SOHC nos...dish out more and go b18Boost...go0d luck
