im gettin an 89 CRX pretty soon and im gonna put a bigger engine in it, im thinkin B18C5. good idea or not?

 

sure...

 

mmmmmmmmmm, noobie, mmmmmm noobie with money

 

It's a terrible idea. There is nothing better than a d15.

 

I concur. :/

 

yes that would be good how bout sendin us money too i know i can't afford a b18c5!

 

why is the D15 better than the b18? im just gettin into imports so i dont know much about them. i used to love muscle cars but i kinda switched sides. any help i can get is appreciated.

 

pffttt, its only a Type R engine....what's the big deal

 

damn with that money go k series

 

ls + turbo

thats your best bet

 

I just did a b16a into my crx dx, the wiring was a bitch though, what model are you getting. If you are looking for the swap go for a hf or si and save yourself alot of headache. I am not a mechanic and it was kind of a learning experience. I paid the shop to drop the new engine in, take the old one out (not in that order) and i did the rest. There are some good websights out there too on how to do the swap. If you got the money go B18C5, just go with a b16a and go turbo or supercharge it, it'll fit in pretty easy with out many modifications to the car itself.

 

screw the b18c5,if you got the money to burn,here is what u should do:

Lots of mods,but here goes:

Vette Z06 engine,sti awd,then supercharge it,damn!!Ud have the FASTEST REX around........and it would corner like it was on rails!!!


Or the 18 would be phatty,easier road would be the b16a3,way less mods and youd be way impressed,so much you can do with that set-up.Id also go Si,thats what I had in my 91,b16a3..............luved it,now i have a 94 sol VTEC (with mods )

 

true stay with the hf or the si if you go hf you will have to replace the front end suspension ie the hubs and spindals i also upgraded the rotors and calipers on mine with si components or if you have that kind of money just buy aftermarket axles. there are many options for a crx b16,18,lsvtec,ls turbo ect. I personaly went with the hf because it is the lightest production honda with out gutting it. I went the build it yourself way and put in a poor mans type r. good luck with whatever you do.

 

dont follow the crowd, there is a million crxs w/ b18cs.....do the special K thing... do a k24 with a k20 head.

 

if u go the SPECIAL-K way,give us a day by day,that would be the shiznit!!!!and post hella pics,if i only had money to burn!!!!!
