<-- crx with b16 turbo and same tranny. I am very happy with the results, pm me if you want to talk more about it.

 

Yes, Sir. Convert to obd1, and have one of the John's tune your car.

 

Ill say stay all motor. and build the b16 cheap and fast. Get yourself a set of ctr pistons for about 300 dollars brand new. Get Spring and retainers and skunk2 stage 1 cams, dont go any higher. if you want, also port and polish the head. upgrade the headers to some mugen or type r 4-1. dont go 4-2-1 like most of these guys and dont get DC sport, thats more like for stock setups only. get an exhaust system with a nice quite exhaust, maybe the apex'i world sport, its quite and you could keep your daily driver. chipped p28, u might wanna use a mugen or/ and skunk2 program with a rev limiter about 9,000. get yourself a nice competition clutch (stage 3 probably) and a heavy duty pressure plate with a steel flywheel for better launchin. and get urself a Apex'i Vafc and get it tune professionally. You are lookin at a b16 running good numbers and makin gs-r's and type'rs looking like single cams... if you know how to drive...... its fast, cheap and reliable. since using the OEM CTR pistons, gives your block good compression and nothing serious to blow it. and the head would be safe with the parts that would you get. And maybe these cats out here wont be running good numbers but i was with the setup on a hatchback with streettires and full interior on the low 13s, High 12s... on a b16.... and you aint spending your 4000k if you do it right. there you go, you got yourself a fast reliable car for less than what you expect...
any more questions, PM me back, oh by the way...... im from NY, so i dont know any tuners out here... so i cant help you with that.....

 

I have a turbo car, but N/A all the way.......................
ohh, and for nitrous boys out here, nitrous is the shit, just that i think he wants full power all the time, not mid power and full power only when he pushes it...
And yes, I had nitrous cars and it was the shit but N/A is better and safer.

 

the down side to nitrous is when you run out you have to find an open shop to refill the bottle or keep an extra either with you or at home, pain in the ass. I prefer to have the power whenever and not have to wait till business hours to be bale to use it. And 100 shot on a stock b16 even with tuning is pushing it, especially if he needs the reliability of a daily driver.



Blitzcrx, what are your power goals, and what type of power are you looking for? IF you want a 400hp monster then turbo is the fastest, however you will find yourself having to tinker with it every weekend or so to keep it running at it's best so that you don't run rich/lean, adjust this thing or that. It's fun but for a price. I had an 88 crx with a b16 swap and obd1 conversion, turbo'd and it was a blast, but for the power I had at 10psi I could have run a jackson racing supercharger and had a better time with it. I was looking to build it for more boost, that is why I went turbo, however if your goal is to have a reliable daily driver, that has power from the moment you put your foot on the gas so that you can zip in and out of traffic, and your looking for up to approx 250hp then I'd say go with the jrsc.

I know alot of people are turbo fans, and I am too, as long as it fits the needs of the driver, If most of your driving is high rpms and nice long stretches of open road then the turbo may be the way to go, but if you are driving daily in and out of traffic then the jrsc will do you better for a decent amount of power and still be reliable enough that you don't need to mess with it all the time. any time you add alot of power to the motor all the parts become more critical, from the plug gap ( and heat range), to the vacum hoses, to the piston ring seal, a/f ratio, injector pulse width, etc. for reliability a little more power is great.

If you do the obd1 conversion, get with me on the conversion harness, it's one from jkobd harnesses ( when jason still lived in the brandon area). and its for the 88-91 crx and was used with a p28 ecu. which I also have one for sale that is jun chipped ( so it may already be socketed, making it cheaper for the initial programming).
