Default crx tech question(s)

ok i guess you can call me a honda man (work there dont drive one)
nissan man at heart. RB powered 240 im done with (not going internals yet)
at JDM today and got on the honda subject (this is where i get to the point)
CRX for sale. curb weight:1819lbs weight distribution:62/38
i want a boosted CRX . plans were B16/B18 with T3/T4 and sum other goodies
but id be gutted , like GUTTED. if/when i get into 350hp+ range will i be TOO light? have traction problems? and too light problems? i kno im not getting that HP off just that but i wanna kno if/when or down the road will it be too light? should i consider EG or EK?

please and thanks
open to sujections

As long as you have traction bars, good suspension, and good tires. You should be able to hook... Just not in first... or second.

ya damn. its a project so no rush on anything. i was going like to research traction bars , but i had TEIN adjustables in mind and front rear struts. so sugestioning something slightly heavier? EG or EK?

You'll be fine in the CRX, the problem is finding one thats not rusted to hell and in somewhat decent shape. I think thats the main reason people choose EG's and EK's, or at least thats why I did.

ok , if i do anything it wont be on the road for a wile. i got 2 daily drivers and my RB25 240 and im piecing my internals for that now. but ok weight distrubution is 62 front and 38 rear. so i wouldnt be extremely light in the front? ok so you have a general. id be like B16 or B18 , tracion bars idk something good. TEIN adjustables rly stiff , front/rear struts. Apexi or HKS exhaust all the way back , T3/T4 (probly hybrid) . strip the back , no A/C no power stearing , no carpet . keeping dash , center concil and going bucket seats

my 89 b16 standard hatch weighs in at around 1850 without driver. Tractions bars and some good tires will get ya off the line!
