Just bought my CRX

I just bought a 1991 crx. Runs like crap but thats ok. I am going to hook it up. Going to get a si motor with typer parts but inside of it. Do you guys know any good CRX Sites for stuff to buy or info on crx's. I still love my Honda Civic ex 2002. And it looks great but I cant do major stuff to it i need to drive it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. But anyways in about 5 mths i'm have a 13.5 sec car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] and then i'ma get turbo to put on it.

S.P

I wouldn't turbo a ITR motor. doesn't seem worth it to me. if you got the b18c5, how about some JUN cams and a ported and polished head? you could get some crazy NA power in that thing.

if you want to go turbo - i suggest looking into frankenstein engines - the b20 block with a b18c1 head and stuff like that. it seems like the bigger displacement block should handle boost a little better. and don't forget to lower your compression!

no you wont, and becuase you lose any functionality in the turns because of the size/weight of the H22. I say go B16 or B18... then turbo it.

My friend Danny had B16 in his crx but blew his motor, then he went all out with a fully-built B18C1(which i think would be a gs-r)not sure....... but he is quick as fu*** he beat my other friend Israel in his hatch with his B16 by 5 cars..............

They just built and dumped a nasty turbo on a b18 in one of the new mags, I forget which one. Final dyno run, 656 hp to the ground. That is enough reason for me to build the b18 rather than a frankenstein motor or a b16. Now lets just hope bricklaying will pay off for the build I need!
