ok i got a 86 crx si. ok i allready know i should got newer, 1 but hey, i am stuck with it so i am sticking to it. First swap that i have done but, I have done lots of car work. i know this car I did the trannny on it had to put a 85si tranny in there>
Ok what you think motor to go in there i can work on for long time put lots money after while. but i whant something big, i been told many different thing what do u peps think??? um i mean b16 b18 b20 h22a i know they can all been done i have $ to do any these but just till i get more i be doing goodies i for sure going turbo to what ever it isso take that in mind um i wana still be able to drives on the streets and **** going to keep stock motor fix it up to
humm i wana make it non turbo teal i get money to hook the turbo up nice
i done lots research i am kinda base my choice on you guys so thatxs !!!!!

 

12k for a b18c5? sure, i'll get you one for that price........j/p. you should not be spending that much for a type r motor, unless there are tons of extras. a c5 should run between 4-6k depending on milage & where purchased from.......

 

dude just go with a b16 swap , its not worth the time and money for a itr swap, it gonna be hard enough to get the b16 engine in there

 

well ill agree b16a1 would be best b18c5/c1 youll have to cut the firewall to get it to fit... I wouldnt have chosen a b series at all its expensive and it adds weight to the already nose heavy car which means alot of expensive suspension parts are needed.Ie torsion bars, sleeve coil overs in the rear with high lbs/inch ratio... 400- 500, pan hard bar and rear anti sway bar a d16a1/zc is soo mutch easier and with alil work can match the b16a1 in power and beat it right out of the park in torque.... hell a build up on the ew4 engine is a great idea too almost indstructable bottom end it liky the boost over bore to 1.6 Litre with zc/d16a1 pistons and dont say you are stuck with an 86 si ... it like saying i am stuck withthis pot of gold the 1g crx si is the best car honda ever made period.

lol 12 grand to replace every part i can find for the 86si lol with new mounts

 

I would just go with a gsr motor. The parts would be cheaper more people have them so those parts would be easier to come by and so on. And I don't know what ghost was talking about with cutting the firewall, that's not true at all, and you don't need all of that suspension bs. Just some good coilovers and struts are fine, based on the motor.

 

get an ls. b16 is a pos. the torque will be really fun in that little car, and you can find 90-93 ls swaps in your local junk yards for 400-800

 

Get a D16A9, I think thats the 1st Gen Integra engine. I'm not positive but I think it is direct bolt in. But anyhow I know its the common swap for 3G Civics/1G CRX.

 

If you want to go B series go B20vtec. I had it in my '87 Si and its by far the best swap choice for the money. Get a B16, ditch the block and drop a B20 block in. Simple, fast setup. Done.

 

lol d16 lol the stock motor puts out like 9something hp d16 is not worth it if i do a swap it's going to be WORTH putting it in there again any 1 with b18c5 in 86 crx si or any b18 in 1 thanx!!

 

i would go with a B16 swap a friend of my had one in his 90 crx that **** was fast he had some other stuff done to it but he ended up wraping it around a pole like 5 days after he put it in

 

The grammer in your first post is horrible. Punctuation is the key. Anyways go with a d16a8/9 swap--simple and decently quick.

 

i think my grammer is the least of your worries

 

I think he meant the guy who started the thread. Your grammar is kind of chopy too though. I dont want to sound like an a**hole, it just makes the post harder to read when people dont use punctuation and have run-on sentences.

 

Yeah. Don't be so defensive. There is a greater chance that people will help you if you don't sound like a baboon.
