aww your so modest bbarbulo...lol

zeeman 18-Jan-2005 08:47 PM

a b18c5 in a crx would be sweet. You would be more than impressed with an ITR with I/H/E in a rex.
Plus you would have the good ole honda reliability, unlike boostin the d16. I shouldn't say that, boosted cars can be reliable if built right and no corners were cut to save money.

Ask yourself what WHP range you want to be in, and what is the Power/Weight ratio you want to achieve.

Answer these 2 questions, then you will know whether your current engine is good enough or not.

to me, in a CRX.... I think a B18C5 is the way to go' the car is light enough to make that a real asskicker

on a budget, B20 with cable B16 tranny would be hella good too

imported_kIeRaN 19-Jan-2005 10:36 AM

all depends how much u have to spend :D

bbarbulo 19-Jan-2005 11:11 AM

actually, you should get a huge aluminium wing for it first... some z3 fenders, a ram air hood, and tom's motorsports coilovers :D LOL

I'm with this guy! Stock ITR motor with minor bolt on's will keep most peeps happy. Rob

Stock crx + $5000 = 400whp?

GSR or ITR swap with labour is about $4-5K once you have everything sorted. With I/H/E that will net you between 160-180whp.

Good luck.

i am planning on doing all the work my self so theres no need to pay for this when u are capable.

dose'nt anyone do here do there own work? i dont think ive seen 1 person do all the work themselves isnt that wahts this lifestyle all about?

i dunno any way im doing all the work my self and the 5000 is just for this summer and i do have like three jobs.

whats the best possible option for me in the long run cuz i plan to have this car for a while and plz no more bashing i know im new but everyone deserves some degree of respect.
