ok im just gathering info right now. i wanna buy a crx and do a swap but dont know what engine i want for it. i plan on going turbo w/ this car and i would like to reach 300hp with it. i was just wondering what you guys would suggest and a basic price range. thanks!

 

Well sounds like a good project.one thing to understand is that if you are gonna drive this thing everyday its gonna have to be done right.(i.e. fully built motor with proper management system) i also hope you do not have plans of keeping ac. if you are gonna do this just make sure and do your research.do it right or do it again! i would personally go with the b18 for torque purposes and overall potential put in some pistonsrodsand sleeve the block if you want extra assurance. go with like a t3/t4 or even a full t4. and get the proper management system (i.e. hondatahaltechetc...)just be prepared to spend alot more than you origanally anticipated just ask any one who went tubo on this board. anyway good luck with your project.

well the car is around 1200-1400lbs it will be a great track
car for you and will be a good daliy driver even with mods
the B16 will put out stock around 140-150+HP and with
other mods has a potentail of running as low as 11s on the
strip or maby lower most of the hard work has been done on
it all thats left is making it go faster!!just let me know...

B20 golden eagle sleeves(bensons get hot)& rods Endyne low comp 9:1s t3/t4 bored out intercooler and I can not stress this enough GET A GOOD FMU 300hp at the wheels easy with room to expand that should be a good place to start picking up prices($6+grand) but save another $3000for misc things

 

B18c1 block stock rods/pistons
B16a2 head (nothing special)
Drag Gen 3
Hondata ECU
Injectors
Few other things

Should get you 300whp @ 8-10psi. Forget all that other stuff unless you plan on REALLY bumping the boost. (Its nice...but to damn expensive).

BTW My Si had the exact same setup (Minus ECU & Injectors) and pushed 280whp with 8-9psi. Tuning is the key.
