if you put the h22 in it it wont be that nice on the roads of florida due to not enough room for a/c and florida is hot as hell but you will probably get the fastes times from the h22, if you go with a b-series and you don't like it you can still change to another b-serieswithout too many mods

The h22a motor does not fit right into a crx without basically cutting the firewall out around the intake manifold and rebuilding another in its place that makes room for the motor to sit back as far as possible so the axles will sit inside the front forks. All the mounts would need to be custom made along with some sort of custom hybrid axles or custom axles altogether. For me I wouldn't even worry about the weight issue that much but I would worry about the axle angles. Basically if you are not going to do this yourself you are going to pay alot for someone to do it. And if you do do it yourself you need to be a good fabricator or you will waste alot of time.

the h22 i heard will cause a lot of steering problems because of its weight compared to stock.
