i just a got a 90 crx Si. I have 2g's to spend on it. what should i get to boost up the the horsepower for little of a price? i was thinking maybe a b16 engine swap but i want to hear everyones opinion first.

 

Swap!!!

ZC for about 1200-plus 800 left for other mods
b16 or b18a for 2000

It is your choice. Or you could build your motor and put together a junkyard turbo setup.

 

b16 swap for all motor! b18 unless your gonna go turbo........

 

i'd get it ready for a swap.

ground control coilovers - $350
decent shocks - $400
you've got rear disc already, that's good.
powerslot rotors - $250
decent brake pads - $100
steel braided brake lines - $150
dot 5 fluid - $20
rear sway bar - $150
neuspeed front stb - $130

all these prices are estimates but should give you an idea of what to expect. any money leftover out of that and you should put it towards a new header for your future swap (for quality, expect to pay around $700, unfortunately) or check out the z10 radius rods and front crossmember (which will be great {extra room} for when you drop in that dohc vtec beast with a nasty turbo and manifold, or even 4-1 header...)

i'd just get the car ready first.

zc for like 1k the b16a will cost more than 2k sorry to break it to you unless you wanna do the swap yourself, put a little elbow grease in it. i say if you wanna go all motor prep for a b16a or swap if you going F/I go zc and get some head work done while its out
