Default If you had 6k for a engine for your crx what would you do?

I am bored, I have money to waste, and I want a new motor lol. What would you guys do with 6k.

Would you buy a Dh-Racing motor?
Would you build your own motor?
Or would you just spend half the cash on beer, and hope the motor swap came out right ?

If you are going to post about your own motor build. Please state what you would build and why if your not to lazy heheh.

Oh yeah the only rule is it has to be N/A. <--If you post a none N/a setup you have to buy me beer through paypal

I proably would want to keep it n/a if I had 6k.

But I would probably attempt an H22 swap with i/h/e, cam, 550cc injectors,100shot and a zdyne ecu.

I dunno but I would defientely go h22 if you wanna stay all motor. Even with bolt ons it would just kick *** and break traction easily. Spray on it would take most everything from a roll and wouldnt be a constart killer on your engine.

Maybe look into a k20, be original

I would build my LS block and B16 head! Then, with the leftover money, get some bodywork done!

K20 or K24...if you have $6,000 wait for the Hasport mounts and drop one in. You could probably do it for under 6k (maybe not i dunno how much those motors cost). Stay with bolt ons untill you get used to your insane amounts of horsepower/torque...then a few months/years later...BOOST that thing.

Just what i would do

I can see the K20 swap costing more than 6k. But that would be a blast to drive

I am just thinkin since no one has done it yet. It may be a issue if problem's came about. Not saying it couldn't be done for 4k, I am sure it could.

I don't see a K20 or K24 fitting under the hood of a CRX. I have a rebuilt b18c engine in my '90 CRX and there is barely enough room in there now. Ive seen a H22 swap.. I couldn't imagine a K20...the motor sits the opposite way and more towards the front. i wouldn't doubt it if Hasport came out with some mounts for a 92 hatch or something.. a K20 swap is merely a dream swap right now..

the physical dimensions of a k20 vs a b18 are smaller. Anywhere a b18 can fit, in theory a k20 can fit.

Damn fool were do you get $2500 on valvatrain and cam? and coating $400?

Just get a GSR complete swap for around $3000 and turbo the **** out of it with the $3000 left.


But it depends how much HP you want?

I hope your joking man-why the hell would he spend 6 grand just so he can have his damn steering wheel on the wrong side of his car? If you are being serious you are hella gAyDM

The guy already has a B-
like i said before-just build your B and boost the **** out of it. With 6 grand you would be making like 260+ whp
