Just asking because i raced a crx yesterday on freeway and that thing can hang, first time racing a crx. We were side by side till the whole time 50mph-110mph. i don't know is crx has a swap motor or just plain ol 1.5L motor, but i never thought it would be that fast. I have I/h/tp/E(tp=testpipe). When the crx floor it there some kind of smoke coming out from exhaust and it smell like burning clutch.

in stock form, that 1.5L is weak.

from 20-80mph, my friend's crx with nothing but a jrsc can stay practically neck and neck with my S2k.

my friend's 90 crx with about 3k worth of engine work and performance parts cant come close to my 04 ex turbo, and that was without my fuel system upgrade. mod for mod tho..I think it all depends on wether the crx driver can catch traction off the line fast enough. too light.

1.5L is weak... but swapped CRX can own civics big time..hah..
I raced my friend's CRX with integra GS motor in it, he owned me so bad..lol those things can be QUICK.....

Hey thanks for letting us know what a supercharged CRX can do against those SWEET S2000s.... That has about as much relevance to the thread as me saying my friends bosses twinturbo camaro (7 second car) smokes my friends CRX si by staying in 2nd gear the whole race....

well since you want to be a sarcastic ***, i will explain to you the logistics of my reply since you seem to have not caught the hint the first time around.


people were responding with what mods can do or can't do for a crx. i gave the example of my friend's jrsc crx for the simple fact that we all know how quick an S2000 is from a roll, so you can now judge about how quick an SC'd crx would be from a roll. therefore the crx he raced probably did not have FI, which is something one might guess he had because of the healthy smoke coming from the exhaust. (often a sign of running too rich, which some do with FI to prevent detonation, or because of an untuned aftermarket fuel system)

if you'd like me to hold your hand while you wipe your ***, i can do that too.

Man I'm sorry, I must have missed when the guy who started this asked if we can beat boosted crx's. But then I remembered this tool we learned in school called "reading" and used it to see that the guy never wanted to know what boosted crx's would do. There are absolutely no similarities between lightly modded crx's and boosted crx's when racing which is what people were mentioning earlier in the thread.

BTW, I think if you were a good driver you could beat a crx mod for mod.

This is just general conversation about CRXs. There is no need to start a bitching match here. I think S2000man was only making a statement about what a CRX can do with a little power behind it and pretty much everyone knows that JRSCs are not the most impressive around so therefore the point is, the CRX is a good performer for the most part because of it's light weight.

follow your own advice and read..... he says he doesn't KNOW what the CRX had, and is curious what the crx might have had done to be that fast. he then lists his own mods.

and again... often times untuned cars running FI and/or with an aftermarket fuel system run rich, thus causing an abnormal amount of smoke to come out of the exhaust when they floor it. so one might have guessed that the CRX had FI on the stock 1.5L. again, becuase the guy had no idea what the CRX actually had.

hence the point of my post, stating that he probably wasn't FI'd, drawing knowledge from my own experiences.

I almost got beat by a crx a few weeks ago. There was smoke coming out of his tail pipe and he had a very high idel. We stayed prety even the whole way. I'm shure if his car was kept in good condition he would have killed me.

What color smoke was it coming from both crx's (the one mentioned earlier and the one you just said) Could be burning oil (most likely) or just running extremely rich with S2000 man said.

I guess he must have pulled on you to see smoke out of his exhaust.

those stock crx's with the 1.6 DZ engines can hang with a 7th gen. it would be a drivers race. my neighbor has the DZ engine just sitting in the garage now. we working finishing up the wiring and cluth setup for his JDM H22 swap, and the finishing touches on his wide body kit. now that car will with out a doubt smoke any 7th gen. im goning to have pics up here soon. were thinking 13's with the H22 on a 50 shot and vtec controller.

white smoke means oil burning. darker smoke means probably running too rich.

i'm guessing it was the white smoke.

thiscrackerntam

I thought blue smoke mean burning oil and white smoke meant that coolant is getting into the combustion chamber

what about purple smoke, i heard that means that u turn signal fluid is low

last time I checked, there's no such thing as a dz engine.

jdm h22? there are some 7thgens that it won't smoke ... I can think of 3 at the moment

my friend has a del sol SI, and his car is pretty even with mine. Dont the crx's have similar engines to the del sol's? probably not, but the weight factor is simlar between crx's and del sol's.

ajhdragon

iTrader: (5)

it called a D16Z engine it was in the 88-92 si crx. and you talking 3 just civics around the country or the DX, EX, and SI, cause a mildly modded 7th won't touch this car. cause this crx is gonna move for an everyday driver.

a stock usdm crx and a stock 01-04 civic i would guess the civic by a lil because of the d17 having .2 more liters but not sure cause the crx is lighter

He didn't pull on me i just behind him the whole time. I'm going up the ramp it 2 become 1 lane. I just let him go first and when we got onto freeway we just floor it and shift. I just behind next to him for whole time, we didn't move an inch apart. That dude have some kind mod in his car but don't know what it is.. i know he have an exhaust and it lower.

On the way home that stock looking Hyundai Elantra with 3 goofy looking guys trying to race me. I'm around 65-70mph on 3rd far lane and those guy on far left lane, keeping paste with me headlight to headlight for 45 second. I like wtf and, i think they trying to rev there engine but i can't heard shxt because my exhaust and music. When i turn my head to see what going on they just laught and speed up i like , they slow back down and keeping paste with me again i like wtf. Then i got scared and muahaha downshift 4th gear and step it my car jump so fast still like they are standing. I think they are trying to keep up but everytime i pull like cars length from them. After couple sencond i give up and slow back down they do fly by on me and zooming lane left and right like there no tomorrow with cars insight .

its pace, not paste dummy
