i want to put my mini-me vtec set up into a 90-91 hatch, how much of a difference is it goin to make on the performance of the set up in the different body?

 

My friend has a Mini-Me in a 91 hatch, and its really fast, i couldnt give you a quarter mile time or anything, but its a helluva lot faster then a SOHC Vtec hatch

 

see my car got totaled and i have a crx shell to put it in, but im trying to decide if i want a hatch or not. And trying to find a nice 90-91 hatch asap might be kinda hard cause im picky! I dunno what im gopnna do, just interested on how much of a difference it would make in a hatch.

 

depends on whats dont to the motor?

 

copy cat j/k

i am putting my 89 crx si motor mini me zc piston with lotsa goodies swap into my 91 hatch. really there isn't a lot to do. you can use the 90-91 hatch motor mounts, we are putting in new inserts. if the hatch was a dual point injection there will be some rewiring to do. we are also replacing the shift linkage inserts.

the main diff is of course the body weight unless you gut the hatch.

good luck.

 

depending on the weight differece between the two, and what is done to the motor, i would say mid 15s with some work.

 

now see what you've done. now i'll have to go out to my hatch and check the weight and then when i go visit my crx tomorrow i'll have to compare.

i am thinking the rear seat in my hatch is the main weight differnce.

 

ahhh desicions desicions!
