basically i wanna if the 90-91 crx si is faster than the 88-89 crx si, i have a 91 crx si and my friend has a 88 crx si, i cant just race him, for one its ilegal to street race actualy the real reason is b/c my tranny basicaly has no 2nd gear , anyways im just curous whos faster before i get my new tranny

 

90-91 were heavier than 88-89. I think 88 had slighly less HP than 89-91. So that would mean in theory the 89 Si is the fastest.

 

There really is no possible way for anyone to tell you that answer....who knows how good/beat each motor is, and who is driving (driver skill?). Just get a new trans, race him, and find out for yourself.

 

ill update u guys after i get it but u all no right now im gona win soooo...

im with efwhore on this one, im havent been around the bored forever or anything, but i see these post alll the time.

 

I think on paper the 89 si would be faster then the 90-91, but I think the 88 si would be close. It has 3 less hp, but weighs the lightest out of all the 2nd gen Si's. Its a good tradeoff, and makes the 88 the best Si if you are going to swap (lightest, and doesnt have the stupiddddd door mount seatbelts).

Thing is, I think the 88-89 is lighter because it doesnt have the side-impact bars, so dont crash

I didnt even think about what year I was getting... I just wanted to best condition 2nd gen si I could find. Just happened to be an 88... oddly enough though it was listed in the paper as an 89, and it was manufactured in 87

 

Or you could get a Canadian CRX, which never came with the door mounted seat belts, 88-91.

 

Who cares. Buy a car and put a b-series/zc in it

 

another thing to consider, not all engines were built the same. some cars came as what they call "factory freaks". I've seen a few of them, and for some reason they go like hell compared to other cars the same as it.

the only way to really tell is to race, take them to the track some day, then you will know.

 

we call those wedsnday motors around here...

they were build on wed. on monday and tuesday, the builders are still hung over from the weekend, and thursday and friday the builders are looking forward to the weekend so they can drink.

Thats great. LOL.

 

88 all the way baby!!! j/k

i'm pretty sure all the years are so damn close you could barely tell who would win, but on paper i think the 88 Si would win because of it's weight.

 

Why does it matter?

Not really. The 1989 CRX is almost as heavy as the 1990-1991 (2138 pounds vs 2174 pounds). The 1988 is the lightest SI at 2017 pounds. And even with only 3 less HP, it will still be the fastest.

 

100 pounds = .1 off your et....

.:chorus:. DREEEEEAM DREAM DREAM DREAM DREEEEEEEEAM oh what I'd do is DREEEEEAM

What if your idea of weight loss is to remove the AC and p/s

All of which is low and in front of the front wheels.

guess what ?

less weight over the front tires = less traction

less weight = shift towards a higher rear weight bias due to spring rates

less weight = increased aero drag as the front comes up

The end result is no matter which car it is the one who wins is the fastest.
