Im buying a 1985 CRX with 158k and a carbbed (EW3 maybe?) lawnmower engine, but otherwise in great condition for $1000. What is the engine code for the stock engine in the CRX of the same year? I would like to source a motor and swap it in, and simply just convert it to EFI for the reliability and ease of maintenance.

 

well its either an EW3 or EW1, the EV1's were the 1.3L

 

Are you aware of any direct swaps for this year of CRX?

Incorrect. I still think driving my first gen is more fun. 2nd gen so far has been nothing but a pos.

haha its only a matter of opinion, which has no correct or incorrect answer, i would much rather have a motor in a 2nd gen than a 1st gen

 

Like I said I'm about ready to set my 2nd gen on fire. Its done nothing but annoy me.
